Why this is the most
important site on Hinduism.
The most amazing feature of this site is that it gives
the total history of Hindu civilization for millions of years.
These web pages contain the Divine knowledge revealed
by a most renowned Spiritual Master of India, His
Divinity Swami Prakashanand Saraswati, the author of
“The True History and the Religion of India”.
“The True History and the Religion of India” is a
one-volume condensed writing of the authentic truth of Hinduism. As such,
it reveals all the aspects of Hinduism in a precisely concentrated manner
and thus it should be regarded and studied as a textbook whose every
sentence has its value. It details the complete history, philosophy and
the knowledge of Bhartiya religion in a concise encyclopedic style for the
first time in hundreds of years.
It’s a dilemma that most of the existing books on
Hinduism, especially those appearing in the English language, even if
written by Indian scholars, bear the bias of western influence, and to
date none of them represent the correct view of total authentic Hinduism.
They show the effect of those false and adverse
publications by the British diplomats and the Orientalists of 17th,
18th and the 19th centuries (see articles
31 to
38). Its effects have gone
so deep into the educational systems of India that it has prompted even
Hindu scholars to publish derogatory writings against their own culture
and religion.
If you look to the journals, encyclopedias, university
course books and the innumerable selection of books filling the library
shelves (and a growing number of websites) in order to gain knowledge
about Hinduism, you find that the majority of the information in these
English sources are not only misleading and misinterpreted, but often they
are wrong.
A school going boy returns home from the school and
says that he has learned about Hinduism, and tells you some derogatory
story about Hinduism.
If you look to any of the renowned encyclopedia of the
world, you will find a lot of wrong and misleading write-ups about Hindu
culture, religion and history in it.
You should know that since hundreds of years such
misleading and derogatory texts about Hinduism are continuously being
taught in the schools and colleges of the world. Indologists,
orientalists, historians, professors of Asian studies and even some
respected writers form Hindu institutions and religious organizations,
study those derogatory and misleading books and form their opinion about
Hinduism accordingly.
Considering the seriousness of this situation there was
an imperative need to break this veil of long- lived ignorance and reveal
the authentic history and the teachings of Bhartiya civilization, which
His Divinity Swami Prakashanand Saraswati has Graciously fulfilled. “The
True History and the Religion of India” has been written with highest
standards of logical investigation, displaying a high degree of scholarly
competence in Indian and Western history, religion, philosophy and
scientific theories. It is an invaluable asset to everyone desiring to
learn about Hinduism and is the guideline to students, research scholars,
open-minded historians and teachers as well. It is a Divine gift that can
benefit the entire humanity.
This concise volume contains an unprecedented amount of
original and authentic information and, as one of the most comprehensive
books on human civilization ever written, it gives an authoritative view
of the history of world thought. The World Religious Parliament, New
Delhi, India has awarded His Divinity Swami Prakashanand Saraswati the
title of “Dharm Chakravarti” (Spiritual Master of the World) in
recognition of the incredible revelation of authentic knowledge contained
in this amazing encyclopedia.
Within its 800 pages, with undeniable evidences, it
provides the authentic description about Hinduism in totality.
It also reveals the truth about the theory of creation
as elucidated in the Bhagwatam and other scriptures. It delineates the
twelve major phases of creation of the universe, precise timings for the
transitional phases of our planetary system, the dawn of human
civilization, and tells the fact that all of this is not a mere
coincidental evolution of mayic energy, but it is a Divinely
controlled manifestation.
It details the creation chronology of the Bhagwatam and
reviews modern scientific concepts such as evolutionary theory, Hubble’s
theory of cosmic expansion, George Gamow’s ‘big bang’ and Allen Guth’s
‘Inflationary theory’ etc. Resolving the discrepancies, scrutinizing their
faults and shortcomings with a point-for-point reasoning, it gives the
correct Divine philosophy and, by doing so it reconciles the truth on the
firm Divine foundation where faith, reason and science could meet.
This book reveals how the Bhagwatam, the prime
scripture that represents the total knowledge of all the Bhartiya
scriptures, reveals the sweetest form of God’s love and shows the path of
pure bhakti which is the soul of Sanatan Dharm.
“The True History and the Religion of India” reveals
and explains the teachings and the philosophies of all of the prominent
Bhartiya scriptures with significant quotations, along with the general
philosophy of the eleven most important Upanishads. The Jain and Buddh
religions are also discussed, along with their philosophies. An overview
of the life history and the teachings of the important Divine
personalities of the past 5,000 years is also given. As such, one single
volume of this encyclopedic book amazingly holds the most valuable total
information of Hindu religion, history and philosophy at one place. It
signifies that bhakti is the essence of Hindu Dharm, which
represents God with all of His Divine virtues.
It also resolves and reconciles the apparent
philosophical contradictions by establishing the fact that all the
religions of India, which relate to its historical Divine personalities,
are based on the common ground of pure devotion to God, and thus, are all
one.
In this way, this site, which consists of
70 articles
and represents several hundred pages of
“The True History and the Religion
of India”, provides an accurate and authentic view of Hinduism.
