Dharma and Sampradaaya - 8.

Swami Chinmayanada said,
8.

NOTE :-
READ THIS : CAREFULLY, THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WE PRACTICE IN BHARATHAM SINCE ANCIENT TIMES BEFORE THE BIRTH OF CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM CUM OTHER WORLD RELIGIONS IS "SANATANA DHARMAM"

WORLD  RELIGIONS BEGAN WITH A PROPHET IS NEVER EQUAL OR ABOVE "SANATANANA DHARMAM"

ALL OF THEM MERELY "SAMPRADAAYAS"

When we call a sampradaaya Dharma a lot of misunderstandings and conflicts arise.

We call Sikhism, Islam, Christianity, Swaminarayan etc.

Dharmas when they are in fact sampradaayas.

Moreover when we call dharma as a sampradaaya we do great injustice to it.

Sampradaayas arise from Dharma, exist in it and will get dissolved in it.

So to say that the majority in India are Hindus is a wrong statement.

All humanity shares this Dharma.

To club various sampradaayas together and call them a majority is also unfair since the various followers maintain their separate identity eg, staunch Shaivites would not generally like to be identified with Vaishnavites.

To give minority status to one sampradaaya eg Muslims and deny the same to another eg. Pushti Margis is an injustice to the other.

In fact in Bharatham (India), Muslims as a sampradaaya enjoy an overwhelming majority compared to most other sampradaayas except Christianity which is the second largest sampradaaya.
