"India is the meeting place of the religions and among these Hinduism alone is by itself a vast and complex thing, not so much a religion as a great diversified and yet subtly unified mass of spiritual thought, realization and aspiration"
- Sri Aurobindo
About this Quote
This quote by Sri Aurobindo speaks to the special and complicated nature of Hinduism. India is a location where lots of religious beliefs fulfill and Hinduism stands apart as a particularly vast and complicated system of spiritual idea, awareness, and goal. It is not so much a faith as it is a collection of beliefs, practices, and values that are merged in their variety. Hinduism is a religious beliefs that is continuously developing and adapting to the changing times, yet it still maintains its core values and beliefs. It is a faith that is open to analysis and permits individual spiritual development. Hinduism is a faith that is deeply rooted in Indian culture and history, and it is a religion that has been able to stand up to the test of time. It is a faith that is both ancient and contemporary, and it is a faith that is both varied and unified.
"Well, I think any time you delve into this sort of religion, politics, as you well know, you're going to, you know, touch a few nerves. I wasn't - now - and this is the honest truth"
