Hindu Seer and related discussion only

[Guest]

When Shankaracharya ShrI Jayendra Saraswati was arrested, we had the applauders and justifiers crooning here. The evidence was just about to drop on every one's head like a ton of bricks. After two months, not even a shred of any evidence against the Acharya. Now when he has been released, but instead Junior Acharya has been arrested, same apologies are being proffered.

Don't such apologists have shame??

Here is a quote from Pathma's forum (posted by webmaster)

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->It is best to keep in view that Saivism and Vaishnavism are two separate religions that both share the same scripture and same terminology.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

If you are going to even divide up Vaishnavas and Shaivas as belonging to 'different religions' , on what grounds are you talking about worldwide 'Hindu values'?

Are universalism and hinduism only words of convenience for you? May be you should stick with just 'Shaivism', or should we be most accurate and simply call it 'Pathmaism'!

I have only seen such nonsense from some people in ISKCON and now from siddha.com site. .

Are such trends a gain for Hinduism or a loss?

My personal opinion: God save Hinduism from such divisive nonsense. This kind of thinking will turn Hinduism into a de-facto religion of the book(s), Judaism, Christianity or Islam in essence, Hindu in name.

I hold my ground about calling such opinions nonsensical as I can quote a huge number of instances from Hindu texts about Shiva an Vishnu being aspects of same reality.
