SanHind is Sanathana Hindu Dharma. It is Hindu religion as well as Sanathana dharma. SanHind in essence is the condensed and codified form of the original Hindu religion or Sanathana Dharma, as rooted in the Vedas. Its philosophy, that is Advaita and way of life are mutually complimentary. SanHind is the continuation of the reformatory works initiated by the great Aacharya Aadi Shankara, Swami Vivekananda and so on – but with more objectivity and targetedness.
SanHind finally unties the gordian knot that stilled and stifled Hindu Religion or Sanathana Dharma through millenniums. It redefines and rewrites the way-of-life of Hindu Religion. Though the primary strength for survival of a religion is supposed to be emanating from the philosophical perfection of the core concepts it propounds on meaning of life, realization etc., the reality on ground tells a different story. This ground reality in unequivocal terms makes clear that the primary aspect providing requisite strength for meaningful survival of any religion is its way-of-life. In other words, the philosophical perfections etc. of a religion shall be of no consequences for its survival, in the event it is not supported by a proper way-of-life. In short, it is the way-of-life that has a primary bearing on the existence and ongoingness of a religion, than its philosophical perfections – though it should have been the reverse, considering the fact that it is the very concepts on realization etc. that infuse life in to every religion.
If one examines closely, it can well be seen that a sort of conditioning keeps the folk of a religion unmindful of any sort of accusations hurled at them, on the deficiencies or illogicalities of practices they follow. Not that alone, on the contrary, such accusations at times even make them bolder enough to interpret all the alleged minus points as their advantages – however objective the criticisms might have been. The origin of the said conditioning chiefly rests on the fact that a person’s religion, conventionally, is not a chosen one (by oneself) but happens to be the one associated from birth itself – for which one cannot be blamed or held responsible. In simple sense a person accepts his religion in the same way he accepts his parentage, as a part of his birth, unquestioningly. This complex situation in totality helps religions that promotes organized way of life more successful and the rest failed – however great and noble the ingredients of failed religions’ primary objective might have been, that is, the principles of realization etc. it had adopted, might have been.
The way-of-life discussed here is inclusive of all aspects that are relevant in the physical conduct of life. In short, earthly survival of a religion rests more in the-way-of life than on the concepts it carries about the objective of life etc. Though this may sound a bit crazy, it is a harsh reality. For any one, venturing to look in to the reasons of bulldozing by organized prophesy based religions over the unorganized intelligence based religions, world over, on a rational perspective, this bare truth at work is clearly visible. It is here the SanHind becomes relevant.
SanHind has been conceived in the backdrop of all round degeneration met with by Hindu religion in contemporary times. It paves way for renaissance of Hindus to a new era of enlightenment with added vigor, self respect and contentment. It aims emancipation of Hindus from their deep slumber induced by, misconceived concepts of religion being exhorted by self-professed religious propagandists, lack of mutual interaction with fellow Hindu brethren and above all, a grand oblivion caused due to the ignorance about objective of human life taught by founding fathers of this religion, that is the great Vedic sages.
The concept and complete details of SanHind have been brought out in the books viz. SanHind philosophy and Life Book 1 & 2. SanHind Philosophy and Life Book 1 explains the concepts of SanHind in its entirety and aims the emancipation of Hindu religion from its current maladies and set backs. SanHind Philosophy and Life Book 2, illustrates the scriptures that a SanHind follower is expected to read regularly.
SanHind Philosophy and Life Book 2 contains more than 2500 important Vedic hymns, collected from Samhithas of Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva Vedas, apart from Bhagavad Gita, 108 Upanishads and Brhmasutra, in full. These four sets of scriptures viz. Essence of four Vedas, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and Brahmasuta, form the basic scriptures of SanHind and is named as Chathur Grantha Samuchaya or ‘Aamnaya’ – which is a synonym of Veda. As stated, every SanHind follower is expected to read it regularly and make every effort to realize it in their life. Incidentally, it is also added that segregation of four books from the rest doesn’t mean that other texts of Hindu religion are not relevant or acceptable to SanHind followers. All texts of Hindu religion are open for every SanHind follower. It stands clarified that the four texts classified as Aamnaya truly represents entire scriptures of Hindu religion and its reading on regular basis can make them more perfect in religious matters, than wide spread unsystematic reading of different texts.
While reading through SanHind Philosophy and Life, Book 1, the striking aspect that one may take note is the fact that the whole book has no illogical or irrational concepts in it. Further, one shall notice on a careful reading that the revitalization and renaissance of Hindu religion have been planned with the following three fundamental objectives in mind:
i. It should be capable of providing Hindus total physical contentment.
ii. It should be capable of providing them total spiritual contentment.
iii. It should be capable of providing them a perfect platform for realization, the objective of human life, while leading the life as above.
Renaissance of Hindu Religion
SanHind aims renaissance, firmly upholding the basic tenets of Hindu religion as postulated by the founders of this great religion, that is, the Vedic sages. It believes in the limitless freedom granted to individual members of religion in searching out the realities of life. It envisages entire Hindu community as one religion beyond the bifurcations of caste, creed etc. brought out by various vested interests in the interim periods. It removes through right interpretations the artificial inconsistencies leveled against principles of religious concepts vis-a-vis the realities of physical life of modern times.
SanHind advocates establishment of communes for attainment of the objectives of life. It envisages basically two types of communes for perfections in the physical, spiritual and realizational well being of the Hindus viz. Inhabitation communes (Agradharas) and Service Communes (Sevasrams). These Communes encompass all vital aspects needed for the prevalence of contented human life on this planet. Since the details related Communes and other matters have been provided in the book viz. SanHind Philosophy and Life Book 1, same is not restated here.
Following are some of the advantages inherent with the way-of-life envisaged by SanHind, when its concepts are fructified:
l Right situations for existence of families with material prosperity.
l True conversion of Hindu Religion in to a casteless Religion with a solid foundation.
l Circumstances for the evolving of a generation that believes in mutual respect, castelessness, common culture, mutual help, ethical and mannerful behaviour and above all respect to privacy and individual freedom.
l Circumstances to live with modern amenities.
l Arrangements to get basic religious education for all members in the childhood itself.
l Arrangements to take care of orphans and old age people of the community.
l Creation of a positive atmosphere for generation of wealth in the community for a better physical life, as SanHind accepts physicality of life and the need to engage in any positive work for survival.
l Arrangements to stay for single men and women of the community for a life time, if they desire so, doing charity works or otherwise.
l Circumstances that augment growth of strong bond between Hindu brethren.
l Prevalence of situations that make old age (above 50 or 60 years) more happier, purposeful and creative by participating in charity works in different parts of the country, if they desire so.
l Facilities to live as a community after the age of 50 or 60 years by joining in any of its Communes and live rest of life by visiting temples, pilgrimage places etc.
l Facility of exclusive and serene crematoriums.
l Situations for perennial growth of the nature – of plants and trees – as fifty percent or more quantum of SanHind commune
lands shall be reserved, as a fundamental rule, for natural forestation, as the nature has a predominant place in the scheme of realization sought in SanHind.
l Enhanced opportunities for better interaction of the upcoming children.
l Contented and organized way-of-living as permitted with in the core principles of Sanathana Dharma.
l Better ambience for enlightenment, as the mind gets freed from the shackles of irrational concepts and belief.
l Prevalence of a positive situation for evolving of a healthy and strong society, as SanHind doesn’t encourage detachment from active physical life before the age of 50 years, other than in exceptionally exceptional situations.
l Inbuilt arrangements to facilitate charity and volunteering works in a gifted human life for the desiring ones.
l Existence of forest like places (Thapovans) to lead a secluded life in meditation after the age of 50 or 60 years, if so desire.
While being in SanHind, the objective of life is not something to be searched out separately, as it reflects in the consciousness, spontaneously. A true SanHind follower is the one who accepts the Sapta Samskara (seven sacraments) of SanHind in a life time and upholds its Sapta Sheel (seven cardinal principles) throughout life, as detailed in SanHind Philosophy and Life, Book 1 (included as Brochure No.2 – can be availed, freely via email, along-with other brochures, by filing the contact form provided under ‘Contact Us’).
