It also fails
to understand the true spirit of Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma (the Eternal Tradition),
which is not a religion based on belief and cannot be represented by any one teacher,
messiah, deity, book or practice. There is perhaps a greater diversity of religious
practices within Hinduism than outside of it. Making Hinduism into one religion among many
narrows down the scope of what Hinduism represents, which is not one religion as opposed
to others but an attempt to sustain an open tradition of spiritual and religious practice
that is not confined to any belief or dogma.
Appearing to go beyond social prejudices a superficial ecumenicalism caters to the
existing names, forms and vested interests that use religion for their own ends. It
sanctions organized religion as a way to Truth, when in fact organized religion is
generally an obstacle to the pursuit of Truth. It fails to recognize that throughout much
of the world, spiritual practices have been possible only outside of the official
religions of the land, and that those who have attempted such practices have sometimes
paid with the price of their lives-and in many regions of the world continue to be
oppressed. |
