An allegory of today by Gunabalan @ (Version 2)


The Mask that Men wear if we must ask:


This morning the sun shone bright as usual,
Bird's chirped; warm were the breezes blowing,
Yesterday's troubles were laid to rest;
but they awoke afresh, to blunder yet forward another day.
  
And this afternoon the sun shone bright as usual,
Birds chirped in the still, the heat mind blowing
for man's travails there was no respite, despite his best intentions to walk a mile in the others
producing nought but drowning sorrows ; mind numbing bellows and burning fellows

Suddenly up front and center, the day's end is near
flustered, blustered and bruised
but with just enough energy
to brew another day's tale,
  
 Art they say, often imitates life
truth be told nobody gives a hoot
neither the uncouth nor the turn coat
Time erases all men's collusion into oblivion.
  
Let us not kid ourselves, to conserve those that deserve
for we know half of our kin and kith, we mainly choose to preserve
half as well the relations as we should and we trust less than half of the nerves
half as well as they deserve with the edicts and depleted treasures of our life's relics

simple truths and deceptive rues
reminders of broken rules
for the confluence of wise; evades all rumbling rubes
as the sun's rays shines brightly on our life's plight and misrules

What is a 'HINDU' ?

In 1995, Chief Justice P. B. Gajendragadkarwas quoted in anIndian Supreme Court ruling:

When we think of the Hindu religion, unlike other religions in the world, the Hindu religion does not claim any one prophet; it does not worship any one god; it does not subscribe to any one dogma; it does not believe in any one philosophic concept; it does not follow any one set of religious rites or performances; in fact, it does not appear to satisfy the narrow traditional features of any religion orcreed. It may broadly be described as away of life and nothing more.

Common Misunderstandings on Hinduism

Vedanta (and all Hinduism) is entirely monistic, believing only in the all-pervading world-soul, Brahman, rather than a personal God

This advaita philosophy is certainly popular, and offers a simple explanation of the many deities. Nonetheless, many theologians have considered God to be a person. He is not merely an anthropomorphic representation, nor are the various deities and murtis simply incarnations or representations of an impersonal Supreme.

Thus Hinduism includes both monism and monotheism. It is misleading to call the Abrahamic religions,"the monotheistic traditions," implying that monotheism is absent from the Eastern traditions. Vedanta includes many monotheistic schools. They may accept the existence of many gods and goddesses, but strongly emphasizes the pre-eminence of the Supreme Deity.
