I wish to inform you that I had written a book on Hindu Dharma in english and the same will be published here in this website as articles on a regular basis. In this process, the 1st part is here and the rest will be continued in the coming days – Author
“WHY THIS BOOK AT ALL?”
Hindu Dharma which has Omkaram as the source, is Sanatana. It implies that this dharma which is inaccessible to any research, is not known when it came into operation. Such a sanatana dharma (ageless righteousness or human ethics) is in a very critical stage today. It should be our main aim to protect such dharma. If we desire to qualify ourselves for that, we should first of all acquire full and complete knowledge about our dharma, its position, prospects and the important features. Hindu dharma’s glorious position is to be understood. Mainly we should know the way of practising dharma, practise it as much as we can, preach it to others and make them practise it. If we do that, we can develop our individuality to a great extent. We will be able to lead our family and also society in the path of dharma. By that we would be able to do lot of good to the society and through it to the country.
Some people think, after reading the biographies of Balagangadhara Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi and Prakasam pantulu who fought in the war of Independence, that had they been born in those days, they would have put in a lot of effort and earned lot of fame and that such an opportunity was not available to them in those days. Now, there is more excellent opportunity than that. Dharma had fallen in great danger. If we put in effort like the people above for protection of dharma, we get great fame not on this earth but, also salvation after our life. So come! Com forward, put in great effort and like another Swami Vivekananda sanctify the community and get your life fulfilled. Make best use of your life. If you want to do work, there is plenty of work. Participate in the war of Dharma’s independence. At one time pronouncing the word “Hindu” was considered as a problem; so also today the word “Hindu” has fallen into difficulty. Just as our country got insulted during the foreign rule, so also our Hindu Dharma is getting abused with the influence of other religions.
‘Hindu’ means one who abjures and condemns violence, so let us protect this dharma by making effort with our discrimination and by pursuing the non-violent path preached by our Hindu Dharma. For that the most urgent and first and foremost duty is to study these articles thoroughly and also convey this dharmic message to all our near and dear.

The peculiar behaviour of our people causes surprise. Every one says that each Hindu ought to know all these things. But they do not read. This is the casualness in each Hindu. Every Hindu has to get rid of this and read these articles and say “I should be in the forefront in discharging my duty”. That good day should come. Each one should reach that stage where he wants that the good work should begin with him. That is to be our longing. Victory to dharma is definite. That is in your hands. By reading these articles on ‘Hindu Dharma”, the solution comes on its own.
We are Hindus. But we do not know even the meaning of Hindu. This situation is not good. Is ‘Hindu” a dharma? Or a religion? What is the difference between these two? This is to be known. Every Hindu should know the meaning of Hinduism and its significance. Every hindu should live with self-respect, after grasping the greatness of his Hindu dharma which has spread its spiritual light throughout the world. It is the minimum requirement for us to have acquaintance with our dharma. Is it proper for us if we do not have this knowledge when those of other religions have the knowledge of their religions? For our children also, we should inculcate the minimum knowledge of our dharma, otherewise, there is a danger of their listening to the other religions and going in that way. So we ought to get the minimum acquaintance with it. You will get all those details in these articles. (To be continued…..)
