| THE
MEANING OF THE TERM HINDU |
|
|
| Since
Hinduism as Sindhu Dharma refers to all the religions and
philosophies of India, it naturally includes Buddhist, Jain and
other Indic traditions. In this regard Hinduism is not limited to
the Vedic tradition and accepts both Vedic and non-Vedic
streams.
On the other hand, the Vedic tradition itself is
pluralistic and is not limited to existing Vedic paths. It is
based on the great Vedic statement, "That which is the One
Truth, the sages speak in many ways (ekam sad vipra bahudha
vadanti)." The Vedic tradition, therefore, has the basis to
integrate all the dharmas of India including those that regard
themselves as non-vedic.
