In true sense Hindu
philosophy refers to a group of darśanas (philosophies, world views, teachings)
that emerged in ancient India. The mainstream Hindu philosophy includes six
systems (ṣaḍdarśana) – Samkhya, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Mimamsa and Vedanta.
"....And I have felt a Presence that disturbs me with
the joy of elevated thoughts of a sense sublime, whose
dwelling in the light of the.... Sun
He is in the blue ocean in the mind of Man..
A motion and a Spirit that impels all thinking things all
objects of all thoughts and rolls through all things.. "
William Wordsworth 's lines in the
Tintern Abbey have reflection of the Oriental..
The influence of our Ancient Wisdom the Hindu
Philosophy, the Vedas, the Upanishads The Gita the Smritis, all compound in these vibrant glorious
lines..
Here is only a simple instance of how oriental thoughts
influence the occidental thinking..
The lines of Shelley Keats William Blake Shakespeare
all bear these inimitable stamps of Glory which is immanent in Ancient Indian
Wisdom that descended on all facets of religious thoughts..
Swami Vivekananda was the center figure of Neo-Hinduism philosophy, the term ‘Neo-Hinduism’ has been
used to describe the worldviews of various Hindu thinkers associated with the
Hindu or Indian Renaissance and the organizations they created. It thus refers
to a distinct expression of Hinduism that co-exists with other forms of
contemporary Hinduism.
Swami Vivekananda was a
Hindu monk from India. He played significant role in the growing Indian
nationalism of the 19th and 20th century, reinterpreting and harmonizing
certain aspects of Hinduism. His teachings and philosophy applied this
reinterpretation to various aspects of education, faith, character building as
well as social issues pertaining to India, and was also instrumental in
introducing Yoga to the west.
Swami Vivekananda was the leader who gave a new meaning to the Hindu philosophy of
tolerance. The ideology of the “Sangh Parivar” is rooted in religious hatred and Swamiji stood for social
harmony and inter-faith dialogue. There can be no meeting point between these
two. Yet, the Hindu fundamentalists trace their lineage to the 'Neo-Hindu'
movement of which Vivekananda was the central figure. None of his observations
on Hinduism, unless taken out of context, seems to give credence to the
proposition that he had a communal outlook.
Vivekananda was a renowned
thinker in his own right. One of his most important contributions was to
demonstrate how Advaitin thinking is not merely philosophically far-reaching,
but how it also has social, even political, consequences. One important lesson
he claimed to receive from Ramakrishna was that "Jiva is Shiva "
(each individual is divinity itself).
This became his Mantra, and he coined the
concept of daridra narayana seva - the service of God in and through (poor)
human beings.
If there truly is the unity of Brahman underlying all phenomena,
then on what basis do we regard ourselves as better or worse, or even as
better-off or worse-off, than others? - This was the question he posed to
himself. Ultimately, he concluded that these distinctions fade into nothingness
in the light of the oneness that the devotee experiences in Moksha. What arises
then is compassion for those "individuals" who remain unaware of this
oneness and a determination to help them.
Swami Vivekananda
explained that the Vedanta philosophy was not Brahmanic or Buddhist, Christian
or Muslim, but the sum total of all these.
In his historic address to
the Parliament of Religions in Chicago on September 11, 1893, Swami Vivekananda
clarified:
The Christian is not to
become a Hindu or a Buddhist, or a Hindu or a Buddhist to become a Christian.
But each must assimilate the spirit of the others and yet preserve his
individuality and grow according to his own law of growth.
A unique characteristic of
Hindu set of religions (includes Buddism, Jainism etc) is that its philosophers
start the analysis from a more concrete and most logical question of "who
am I" than to start with the postulations on an abstract God at the start.
When you invent something, you probably need to have defined the abstract
result first and work towards that. But when it is a discovery, it should be
following the known information one gets to know the unknown things beyond and
finally comes the great discovery.
Hinduism does not invent God but it discovers. It neither stops at the
human boundary confused and failing to go forward, but gets to the divine
aspects supported by facts. This makes their findings more logical and
realistic and even the super human descriptions experienceable if not
explainable.
These and many more
specialties of Hinduism make it a harmonious and worth religion, which is
suitable for any time in present or future, for any land or creed.
