[QUOTE=High Wolf;48415]That is the point I keep making, and reminding to SD. It won’t be called Hinduism, nor Buddhism, nor Christianity. It might have another name that will settle in our mind when the time is right. Personally, I prefer that there’d be no name at all! Let us get rid of the burden of language![/QUOTE]
It is interesting to note that in India Hinduism was not called Hinduism. This term Hinduism was invented by the British in order to classify the religion of India, but prior to the British no such term was known by Indians. The term that did they use was dharma: In India there was Jain dharma, Buddha dharma, Sikh dharma and Vedic dharma(which was called Hinduism by the British)
What does Vedic dharma mean? The word Veda means knowledge and dharma means law, religion, nature i.e., Vedic dharma is the religion and and law of knowledge: the natural or scientific religion.
If we look closely at our society today we too now have a natural of scientific religion. Science is very much like a religion. It teaches you where we came from, what we are and the nature of reality. It also teaches us what is right and what is wrong. The only thing is, science is a growing field of knowledge and still cannot give us complete answers(like the Vedic religion does) but it does indeed indicate the answers:
In physics we now know that consciousness precedes matter and this proves that the soul preexists.
In psychology we now know that transpersonal states of conscousness exist and the mind can exist in disembodied states. This proves that that there is mental plane in reality outside of physical time and space and that life after physical death is a reality.
It has also been more or less proven that reincarnation is a fact from investigative scientific studies into past life memories.
In medicine the Vedic health systems of Yoga and Ayurveda have been proven in now hundreds of clinical studies. Proving that these systems do indeed work and improve our health and function.
In other words science itself is validating the Vedic religion and everything it teaches. It is therefore not a leap of faith to say that the Vedic religion is simply a more advanced scientific religion, and we should all sit and take notice of the Vedic religion now and learn from it in order to advance our own science further.
It is obvious the Vedic religion is the remenant of a highly advanced civilisation that has been lost in history. Anybody who reads the Sanskrit literature comes to this conclusion. The Sanskrit literature describe aircraft, weapons of mass destructions, robots, miscroscopes, spectrometers. For example in the Mahabharata, a weapon is described deployed by Asvadhamma called the Agneyastra(fire weapon) which releases a huge explosion of heat that incinerates the troops of the Padanvas. It kills 200,000+ people instantly. The description of the weapon and its after effects resemble that of a nuclear weapon. Incidentally, when archaeologists discovered the Harappa city(the largest city of the Indus valley civilisation) from 3000BCE, they discovered that the skeletons there were highly radioactive. The site had to be closed off by the Indian government due to the radiation. These skeletons were found scattered on the street, some holding hands as if a great calamity from above had befallen them. In the vicinity were also found shards of glass(which are produced in a nuclear blast)
The Mahabharata war lasted for 10+ days and the final death toll from the war is reported to be in the millions. This was obviously then not just a battle on the ground, but a war with weapons of mass destruction.
Ironically, the Indus cities that have been found are thoroughly modern. They have described to be like modern day manhattan. Highly planned, sewage systems, plumbing, toilets, multistoryed brick houses, kitchens, ovens and which held massive populations. All of a sudden these cities lost huge numbers of population.
