Hinduism Vs. Sanatan                                         Lot of Hindus today say: "I believe in

   Dharma                                                       ancestors) had pooh-pooed the irrational

                                                                belief in a creator god as a childish idea

   reader, asked me. Seemingly simple                           creator god with that of Lord Brahma.
   question!                                                    Brahma is not creator; he is the

   "Unfortunately today's Hinduism has been
   designed, evaluated and advocated on the
   basis of Semitic thoughts...” I said.
   “Hinduism as you see today is mostly the
   distorted version of Sanatan Dharma.”


   Let's see the difference between SD or
   Hindu Dharma that was founded upon
   Vedic traditions and where do today's
   Hinduism and its practices stand now.


   FACT CHECKER:-


   Sanatan Dharma is strictly for the truth
   seekers. It doesn't promote any beliefs,
   though believers also can be a part of it
   (inclusiveness). The belief-based religions
   are introduced by Semitic cultures. The
   believer can not be a truth seeker. If you                   Many Hindus apologetically say that
   question beliefs, you are an infidel and out                  “there is only single god, we call it in many
   of the religion. Because, according to them,                 names and worship in many forms" to
   the ultimate truth is already given in the                   compete with Semitics. What makes you

   Holy books and one shouldn't question it.                    so sure and how can you derive into such
                                                                belief as long as nothing is proved? "We
   All you have to or can do is blindly following               have only one god, Brahmam - all gods
   it. There is no scope for truth seeking in                   are many forms of it," even learned
   religions. SD is about individually seeking                  pundits would tell you the same.
   and experiencing the cosmic truth and

   seeing divinity in each and everything.                      Brahmam is NOT god, though, like
                                                                everything else, Gods also may be the
