WHAT IS HINDUISM?
It is no secret that we in the West live in a time of spiritual
crisis. Western civilization has been guided by Christianity.
Now it appears that this period is drawing to a close. Both
religious institutions and social structures are in disarray. A
great many things that were considered basic assumptions
of western thought are being challenged. The reality of the
external world, the soul, the linear nature of time.
Stephen Cross
For those now disenchanted with industrialization and
scientific materialism as well as pseudo-spirituality, India's
ancient spiritual heritage provides a rich alternative. Eastern
philosophy, and the devotional heart of India's Vedanta in
particular, can fill the empty shopping bag of our Western
accomplishments.
Swami B. V. Tripurari
In the history of the world, Hinduism is the only religion
that exhibits a complete independence and freedom of the
human mind, its full confidence in its own powers.
Hinduism is freedom, especially the freedom in thinking
about God. In the search for the supernatural, it is like
travelling in space without a boundary or barrier.
S. Radhakrishnan
