Indian philosophy
considers that there is only 1 religion in the universe. Therefore, there is no
need to name a religion. This aspect was brought out
and preached by Swami Vivekananda.
Swamiji believed that Indian philosophy states that religion has 2 parts. The first part is philosophy. Philosophy gives general outline and
direction for behaviour of persons while they are working in a society. This
part is universal and eternal. Swamiji stated that Indian name for this is
“Vedanta” The second part is laws and rules for specific situation. This is
named as “Smriti” Smriti is neither universal nor eternal. Minimum factors
governing Smriti are place, time and society. Smriti guides people in society
in respect of behaviour in society under different circumstances. Vedanta and
Smriti form a religion. Therefore, it is incorrect to compare religions based
on Smriti. On same analogy no religion can be superior or inferior to any other
religion. This is understandable because Vedanta part, is exactly same to every
religion. The name differs only because of Smriti. Smriti is neither universal
nor eternal. It changes with time, place and society. Hence, understanding a
person based on religion is wrong.Purpose of religion is to join all members of a society in to a cohesive group, propagate brotherhood among members and ensure survival of society. I have a few articles on this written from time to time. I have just put these together here. These may be seen in the order given now and place your views against each of the topics or here. Thank you
