Respected editor,
All religions came to this land.They were never brought nor invited.
The local population followed certain traditions of living.The
cultural traditions existed in this part of continent from the Himalayas to
Rama-setu and from Assam to Sourashtra.The common language of these traditions
was Sanskrit.The outsiders who came with their religion called the locals as
Hindu as they could not pronounce Sindhu,(name of the river they crossed).Thus
the traditional way of living was known as Hinduism.All the sanskrit
literature,rich in Arts,Science,Economics and Philosophy was plundered by the
outsiders.Much of the literature then had no Authors,as everything was written
in the interest of better human living.The very pronounciations of Sanskrit
words created healthy vibrations on human body.Take the example of single
letter OUM.
The existance of various age old temples in this part of world,proves
the history.The language Sanskrit was made non-existant for selfish
interest by the outsiders without any foresight losing the values of
human living.
With best regards,
Damodar Bale.
