‘Respect’ doesn’t mean ‘worship’ their’s God. Alllow me to put in this way. Hypothetically, you are my enemy, when you come to my home for reason, shouldn’t I receive you with well manners? However, if you behave badly at my home, I know how to react, so that you would understand. Sanatana Dharma precisely teaches this to respect but does not allow to dominate you at your home. We Sanatani never ever believe in Jesus or Allah or for that matter, any God you name apart from the ones described in your Vedas and Puranas. We we taught to behave the way the opponent behaves at you.

You are good, I am too good and vice versa.

is it really necessary to ‘respect’ those religions which declare Hindus as sinners who will dwell eternally in hell because the worship ‘false gods’?? shouldn’t we rather call them out that theirs must be a tribal God who cannot be the Highest.

Thanks for this article an eye-opening to all Sanatanis for future strategy in protecting our Dharma as it says, ‘ धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः ‘ Each Sanatani must do his part for this, especially Brahmins and wealthy people. Traditional propagation and teaching by Brahmins and funding for these causes by the wealthy ones.

You wrote, ” Hindus commit a great sin against the ‘true one God”, Maate, we, Sanatani stick on this even now. For us God is always one as true or Satyam, but percieved in different shapes or Rupam, as it said, ” एकं सद् विप्रा बहुधा वदन्ति “. However Sanatanis respect other religions’ belief, but do not believe their God. One should understand this subtle difference.

True, Maria, the superiority complex is completely uncalled for and needs to be challenged.
Regarding the different darshanas, i can’t help considering ADvaita Vedanta the top philosophy with its 2 levels- absolute, what alone is unchanging, eternal, SatChitAnanda and its Maya level created out of Itself, relative, temporary, nama-rupa, plurality. the reality of Devas and Devis according to my view is within the Maya level. Same as we, as persons, are in the Maya level. we definitely are ‘real’ but not absolutely real. Yet the essence in everything, Devas, us, Asuras is the same SatChitAnanda, unchanging blissful Awareness. which does NOT mean that we do not need to distinguish between Devas and Asuras. Bhagavad Gita gives clarity in this regard. in our times, debates have stopped. in ancient times, the darshanas would have been debated. Truth is what TRULY is and one condition is that it must be always.
