Respected Editor,
Re:Messagge no.11.
Fr Ivo has really taken pains to explain what religions mean.In fact
In no ancient literature records,there is no mention of the word Hindu.
Vedas,Upanishads,Ramayana Mahabharata or any other ancient literature,the
word Hindu is not seen.What the natives of this land followed ,was "the way of
living".It was named as "Hindu" by outsiders.
Ways of livng varied from place to place.With the emergence of other religions
outside Bharatvrsha,the visitors who came to Bharat,named our way of living as
Hinduism. Everyone understands that all religions preach Peace & Love.Then what
is it that goes wrong? It's the politicians that make the bad use of Art of
Living.Afteral humans all over are the same.
With best regards,
Damodar V.Bale,
