Pl define this Dharma as well as Sanathana Dharma. Also give a few examples of how everyone can benefit from these two in modern times.
Religious sentiments, myths and gods came into existence some 40000 yeas ago. Most of them depended on stories or myths which were transferred from mouth to mouth over thousands of generation. In the process these myths and sentiments changed in content due to involuntary or purposeful mistakes in communicating these stories. As a result everyone had his/her own myth and religion as unique as their finger prints. Then some 2500 years ago man discovered writing mostly for commercial and accounting purposes. It was a matter of time before the myths of the ancients were committed to writings. As a result of committing myths and dharma and ethics, they became fixated in time with no scope of change as in the pre-literacy period when myths and ethics changed during mouth to mouth communication.
Now all religions are based on these books which appeared 2000 thousand or more years ago. These books also vary from each other since they represented different societies which lived in isolation. But now with modern transport and communications people of different books are put in proximity with each other and that is the cause of the religious flareups we see today.
Everyone sthat his particular book alone represents the trruth and propagates ethics. Since all these books were ritten 2000 years ago they present only the myths and ethics and morals which prevailed in those societies where thesse books were writtten.
Now 2000 and more years after thes books we live in conditions which are totally different from the societies for which these books w2ere written. Obviously these books have become obsolee ad only religious fundamentalists swear by them even as they live under modern conditions whee the laws written in thesee ancient books are no more usedful than Hary Potter storiess or Greek myths.
We have modern constitutions, laws, enactments and a sophisticated judicial syatems to guide us in our modern way of life. What is more theee legal institutions are ready to adopt to changing social conditions and technologies. Thus we have cyber laws, banking laws, traffic laws, pollution laws and thousaands of other laws which will be ammended with changing societies and their moraal thinking.
In contrrast religious books written 2000 years ago can never change and adapt to changing situtaaions. Thus all these 2000 year old myths recommend the ultimate punishments for homosexuality aand other practices. But we now kbnow that homosexuals are born so and they cannot blamed for their abnormalities. This shows that modern discoveries contribute consideraly to what is moral and what is immoral. If things are so why do we have to resort to old religions to regulate modern societies? Using 2000 year old religious ethics to regulate modern socities is like using a hammer and chhisel to repair a computer or like resortin to human sacrifice to cure Corona

THAT CAN HAPPENONLY IN HINDU INDIA. I AM APPENDING AN EXCELLENT POSTING FROM ANOTHERGROUP - I AM A HINDUWILL HINDUS WAKE UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE?MOHANJust wanted to tell:
IAM a HINDU.
I am not a member of RSS, ABVP, Bajrang Dal, VHP.
I am not a BJP IT Cell member.
I come from a small town.
I have many Christian and Muslim friends with good educated family background.
My Muslim friends kept silent when Hindus were especially kashmiri pandits were forced to leave Kashmir & They didn't condemn the terrorist attacks across the world.
They had sympathy for Burhan, Yakub somewhere deep inside their heart.
They didn't condemn them as they were of their religion ..
But they hated Modi.
They shared news of Akhlaq Lynching.
They portrayed my India as intolerant.
My Christian friends never condemned Wheatbag conversions.
But they supported hoisting of Beef parties publicly.
They didn't care about my emotions and beliefs.
Even today I wish them on their festival.
I used to sing "Lab pe aati hai dua banke" on Eid to make them happy.
I sang Jingle bell.
But they hesitated from celebrating my festivals.
They had sympathy for Muslims killed in Gujarat Riots.
But they didn't bother about the Hindus killed in Godhra train burning.
They hate Modi but love Owaisi.
All these incidents *OPENED MY EYES* and I became a RSS fan and ultimately every nationalist turns out be a BJP supporter.
We, Hindus, have only one country India.
I don't tolerate anything against my country.
When you share bad about India , I will hit back.
Hit back with my words.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
