Why is Hinduism unlike most Major Religions

Hinduism is like Prana existing in a living form, the sap in a tree. From Hinduism evolved all other religions of world. How and why?   Hinduism scriptures like Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads always say every single human being on mother earth had a spark of divinity within to become a Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed. Adi […]

In India and particularly a knower of Hindi never indulges in such questioning as what came first Hinduism or Buddhism. A serious traveler of spiritual path always begets the best of all.

Why Buddha rejected Hinduism and founded a new Religion

When a seed grows big like a banyan tree we never question its intentions why it developed branches when it could grow like a coconut tree straight up only a single stem.   Diversification is part of cosmic life, inherently inbuilt into the system.
