Hinduism A to Z

Hinduism A to Z

"After a study of some forty years and more of the great religions of the world, I find none so perfect, none so scientific, none so philosophical and none so spiritual than the great religion known by the name of Hinduism."-Annie Wood Besant 

"That which we call the Hindu religion is really the eternal religion because it embraces all others." - Sri Aurobindo

Hinduism is an eternal tradition (Sanatana dharma). Its knowledge and wisdom said to exist eternally in the highest heaven in the form of the Vedas. The scriptures affirm that Hinduism is practiced not only by humans but also gods, by beings of the other worlds and God Himself. From time to time, He descends upon earth as an incarnation or an emanation to increases our understanding of the eternal tradition as part of His duty and as the upholder of dharma. In fact, from the Bhagavadgita, the epics and the Puranas we learn that God, the Supreme Self, practices Hindu Dharma as His duty, apart from upholding it and enforcing it, even though He is not interested particularly in anything. From the Introduction to Hinduism by Jayaram V
