Review of the book 'Essentials Of Hinduism' by Swami Bhaskarananda

-
I am a Hindu and yet a lover, acceptor and respecter of other faiths as well. I recently happened to listen to Dr. Zakir Naik's lecture on Islam. I really felt he is doing a good job of taking his religious scriptures to his people (Muslims). This is the real need of the hour, to understand one's scriptures and walk the way his/her religion has advocated, as every religion advocates love. I should also admit that I however could not agree any religious conversion, which he does. 

 Conversion part apart, Dr. Zakir Naik seemed to be knowing Hindu scriptures as well, and that is when I felt ashamed of myself, I(I assume most) didn't know about Hinduism, as much as he did. I decided to become knowledgeable in Hindu scriptures, however I was sure I will go slow and steady in the journey. 

I found this book 'Essentials of Hinduism' very small in size, unlike other religious philosophical books. I bought this book, yet I was sure, it is not going to be as interesting as a fiction, which I like to read. I was wrong, the book was in fact very crisp. The book went very interesting, clearing many myths about Hinduism. I recommend the book to each and every Hindu in the world. If I have to give a one line review of the book, this is how I would give: 
This book gives Hinduism in a nut shell - philosophical, yet interesting page turner!!!
I have started reading 'Journey from many to one' by the same author. I will share my experience once I am done.

I thank Dr. Zakir Naik to irk me and push me to understand my religion. It is because of you that I have commenced with this journey.

        சிவபெருமானை நினைத்தால் எனக்கு உடனே நினைவுக்கு வரும் விஷயங்கள், திருவண்ணாமலை, ரமண மகரிஷி, எழுத்தாளர் பாலகுமாரன், இசைஞானி இளையராஜா, திருவாசகம், ஆத்ம ஞானம் ஆகியன. ஏதாவது ஆரம்பித்து "ததக்கா புதக்கா" (amateur) என்று எழுதித்தான் பார்ப்போமே.         எப்பொழுது நமக்கு (குறைந்தபட்சம் எனக்கு) இறைவன் தேவைப்படுகிறார்? சில நேரங்களில், "என்னடா பாலாஜி, நம்ம ஒன்னு நெனச்சா வேற ஏதோ எக்குத்தப்பா நடக்குதே ?" என்று தோன்றும். மனதில் அச்சம் தோன்றும், "உனக்கு உண்மைலையே திறம இருக்கா ? இல்ல நீ ஒரு வெத்துவேட்டா ?" என்று. இதைப்போன்ற தாழ்வு மனப்பான்மையும், அவமானங்களும், இயலாமைகளும் தான் நம்மை, "நம்மளோட அறிவுக்கும் சக்திக்கு அப்பால என்னமோ ஒன்னு இருக்குடா!!" என்று சிந்திக்கவும் வைக்கும்.          அதன் அடுத்த நிலை, தோல்விகளாக நம்மை வந்து தாக்கிக்கொண்டே இருக்கும்பொழுது, "எவ்வளோ நாள் தான் நானும் வருதப்பட்டுட்டே இருக்க முடியும்? சொதப்பறப்ப எல்லாம் வருத்தப்பட முடியுமா? வெற்றி, தோல்வி எது வந்தாலும், ஒரு அஞ்சு நிமிஷம் (மரியாதை நிமித்தமாக) மட்டும் வருத்தப்பட்டுட்ட

Is Ramayana the Indian version of Odyssey?

I saw the below tweet from a D-stock twitter handle. The tweet in Tamil roughly translates to "Ramayana is the exact replica of the Greek literature Odyssey" The tweeter is proving his claims using some Charu Hasan's facebook post below. Let's try to approach this question scientifically which the D-stocks are fond of (or so they claim). Scientific studies on Ramayana and dating the epic: Content courtesy: https://indiafacts.org/the-scientific-dating-of-the-ramayana/ The article https://indiafacts.org/the-scientific-dating-of-the-ramayana/ talks about the Dwaraka explorations. Archaeologists have found the ancient city if Dwaraka under water when they explored the exact Dwaraka area claimed in Mahabharata.  According to the same article Ramayana happened 9000 years before present. 7000 BC. This clearly predates the Odyssey. The story of Odessey sounds nothing like Ramayana: So, how does this sound? Rama goes for a war leaving his son and wife in his palace. The war la

Why brahmins must support BJP?

-
In this blog post I am going to try and articulate the need and importance of political leverage and why the brahmin community needs it for its survival and at a later point of time, thriving. It will also be evident that communities without political leverage would be bound to undergo subhuman treatment from other communities and denial of even fundamental justice. I have used the term community more loosely to mean caste, religion and group of people. Do we need to stick to caste identities? This is an important question every one in the modern era asks. To elaborate, I have seen many brahmins ask, "why do you cling to caste identities?", "why are you so narrow minded?", "are castes relevant today?", "should we be even giving importance to caste anymore?", "should we not annihilate caste?", "I am a peaceful person that lives his life calmly without affecting anyone. Why should I get involved in politics? Why should I be concerned
