<!--QuoteBegin-acharya+Nov 4 2009, 04:06 AM-->QUOTE(acharya @ Nov 4 2009, 04:06 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin-->Bharat’s decline began with a Psychological confusion as to who Bharatiya’s were
Bharatiya’s accepted the word “Hindu” to describe them
The word “Hindu” does not mean anything in any language
So when a person said “I am a Hindu” in Bharat, it did not mean anything to him
The decline began with a loss of identity
The loss of identity caused – a loss of association with her past, ethos, greatness, teachings etc.
Not being clear of who you are can be a big disadvantage
It allows other people to confuse you further with concepts like secularism etc.
The religions of India are the only truly secular religions
The proper word for the Bharatiya religion is Dharm.
The word Dharm is inclusive of the word “Sanatan”.
To bring India back, the original confusion of “Hinduism” has to be removed
To bring Dharm back you have to start calling it “Dharm”
I will say “I am Dharmik” and that “I follow Dharm” from now on.
Also remember that Dharm is not a religion. It is much larger wider and encompasses everything concerned with human life, humanness and reaching god.
Please send this to as many people as you can.
