Karmayoga In The Service Of Hinduism

This video in high definition speaks about the duty of every Hindu towards Hinduism. It speaks about the dangers of liberalism and fanaticism and suggests a responsible, dutiful and disinterested way to protect the eternal values of Hinduism as an offering and sacrificial service to God. Some of the messages of this video are: Today Hinduism is in the gravest danger of losing its vitality and identity than at any time in its long history of over 5000 years. Hinduism is being attacked both from within and without by intellectuals having atheistic and rationalistic leanings, communists, pseudo secularists, communal politicians, fanatics of other faiths and divisive elements within Hinduism itself. Then there is a whole generation of people who have no clue what their religion represents and what it means to be a dutiful Hindu. Hinduism is tolerant and broad based religion. But is is also the most difficult to practice. It is very easy to become a Hindu but very difficult to grasp its essentials and adhere to them. In an ideal setting a Hindu ought to respect other faiths, but strictly adhere to his own No one can walk on two paths at the same time and reach the desired destination. Salvation of individuals comes from clarity of purpose, order and discipline. Adharma (evil) means chaos and confusion. Hindus ought to know that the road to hell and suffering is paved with liberal intentions, deluded idealism and liberal opportunism. Hinduism is not an organized religion. Hinduism does not fit into any particular definition. It is a lose confederation of multiple faiths, sectarian movements, guru paramaparas and ascetic traditions. What this means is that Hinduism does not have an organized leadership that can safeguard its interests in this increasingly competitive world. A religion without formal leadership is like a boat without a rudder. But there is no need for excessive concern. If lack of leadership is a weakness, it can also be a strength. When leaders become weak or corrupt, the organizations, nations and religions they lead will suffer and disintegrate. Fortunately Hinduism will never have to suffer this fate. Hinduism survived many challenges in the past because of the faith of its followers, the wisdom of its ascetic traditions and the selfless service of its spiritual masters. There is a clear cut assurance in the Bhagavadgita that the Santana Dharma is protected by God and that whenever it is in danger He would personally incarnate upon earth to destroy chaos and restore order. Followers of Hinduism have to practice their faith as a way of life and as a duty in letter and spirit. Here are a few suggestion on how it can be done. Know your religion Practice your religion Promote your religion Defend your religion Be proud of your religion Speak for your religion. Help your community Do some voluntary service Help those who are working for your religion Help Hindu orphans.
