The Hinduism Summit (Hindu Dharma Sabha) aims to foster an education about Hindu Dharma by bringing forth the unique science behind concepts and practices in Hinduism, and bringing together Hindu leaders across the world to spread the message of Hinduism. One of the main reasons that we need these summits is that the majority of us Hindus have forgotten or are unaware of the true wealth of Hindu Dharma. Quite often Hindus find themselves aping different cultures and are unable to explain to people from other religions the basic concepts in their own religion. Their knowledge is quite limited and often based on hearsay tales from their elders with no attempt on their own part to understand the breadth, depth and glory of Hindu Dharma. As a result Hindus lack the pride in their religion and dare we say even feel apologetic at times when challenged about its venerable con-cepts and way of life. Our generation holds the responsibility of passing this great Sanatan Hindu Dharma on to the next generation, but how can we do it if we have not studied and practiced it and hence don’t feel deeply about it.

In a world threatened by divisions (with deadly consequences) in religions and race, the age old universal principles of Hindu Dharma are a beacon of light, that if understood and followed would bring peace to our world. Only Hinduism accepts all people as the same. While we may be different on the outside, while we may have different natures, it explains that we all have the God principle (Ātma) in each of us. Hence Hindu Dharma sees the attempts to convert anyone from one religion to another as just a superficial exercise in futility because whatever the conversion, we remain intrinsi-cally embodied Souls (jivas). Yet these religious conversions do happen and mostly from Hinduism to some other religion. What religious conversions do at best is put labels on embodied Souls and forces the segregation of humankind.

Even in Hinduism, we are being threatened by becoming too sect orientated. In fact we as Hindus, even though we are some 900 million strong, are a conglomerate of various minority sects and isms. As a result even though we are born into this great way of life, we short change ourselves by being sectarian and less expansive. Along with this, it has many more deleterious consequences. As there is less unity amongst Hindus and most Hindus are enveloped in a “every-Hindu-for-himself” syndrome, we are also more prone to being under attack. The conversion of Hindus and their per-secution is rife all around the world. Denigration of our deities and religious symbols go unabated and when this is brought to the notice of the perpetrators, instead of being apologetic, they display a certain “as-if-I-care” bravado. But today Hinduism is facing a more insidious onslaught i.e., from its own people. An example of this is when artist M.F. Husain drew Hindu deities in the most vulgar positions and poses; on talk shows in India, it was the so called Indian (Hindu) intelligentsia and secularists that defended his work as art.

Let us as Hindus join together from this day forth and make a stand for Hindu Dharma. Our prayer is that these kind of Hinduism summits, will act as a catalyst to light a lamp in our hearts to understand, to awaken, to live and to preserve Hindu Dharma and to light the flame of Dharma, inherent in every Soul, in people around us.

‘Oe= OeejÙeefle’ means to bear, or to support. The word Dharma (Oece&) has been derived from the root ‘dhru (Oe=)’. ‘Oejefle }eskeâeved efOeÇÙeles hegCÙeelceefYeŠ Fefle Jee’, meaning, Dharma is that which sustains the people or that which is adopted by meritorious souls.

Dharma is the soul of a jiva (embodied soul). Sharpening the awareness about Dharma amounts to learning how to live as per God’s will. Spiritualizing every aspect of life means living God’s concept of Dharma in our day-to-day life. A jiva can progress spiritually faster by following Dharma on a daily basis. It signifies a jiva’s journey from action to karma, from karma to spiritual emotion, from spiritual emotion to gratitude and from gratitude to an attitude of surrender.

Following of Dharmik (Righteous) behaviour a hundred percent of the time, means performing each action with an attitude of complete surrender unto God. Living without Dharma is an in-dication of humanity, that is, non-eternalness. Humanity may provide pleasures and sorrows to a jiva; but eternalness i.e., Dharma provides pure Bliss. Life without Dharma is like life without oxygen, which means, dead. As we make an effort to understand Dharma, be awakened about its concepts and live by its principles, the next step, naturally, is to make efforts to preserve the glory of Dharma.

Dharma (Righteousness) is that which accomplishes the three tasks of :

1. Keeping the social system in an excellent condition

2. Brining about worldly progress of all living beings

3. Causing the progress in the spiritual realm as well

- Sree Adi Shankaracharya

Sweetness is the quality of sugar. That which possesses the quality of sweetness is sugar. Righteousness and its propounder are inseparable. They are merged into one another. The relationship between God and Righteousness is akin to that between sugar and its sweetness which are inseparable. God is the righteous one. His quality itself is called Righteousness.

‘tri’ stands for three while ‘gunas’ stand for subtle components. We call the components subtle because they are intangible, not physical in nature and cannot be seen with any instruments such as the latest electronic microscopes. Technically advanced physical instrumentation in the future too will not be able to measure them. These three subtle basic components can only be perceived by the subtle sense organs or our sixth sense (ESP). The table above shows how a person changes depending on which component is predominant in him.

Like this every action, thought and feeling is made up of the subtle components. The more we understand them the more we are able to live sāttvik lives and bring about peace and prosperity in the world which is not at the cost of others.

Sattva, Raja and Tama

According to modern sciences, the Universe is made up of basic physical particles that include electrons, protons, neutrons, mesons, gluons and quarks. According to Hindu Dharma how-ever, the Universe is made up of something even more basic. These basic particles are known as the 3 subtle basic components (trigunas) namely sattva, raja and tama. In the word triguna,

Sattva

Raja

Tama

The 3 components Characteristics Adjective Example

Purity and knowledge

Action and passion

Ignorance and inertia

Sāttvik

Rājasik

Tāmasik

Sāttvik man – lives in service of society with no expectation of recognition or reward or any ulterior motive

Rājasik man – lives more for personal gain and achievement

Tāmasik man – has no problem about stepping on other’s toes to get ahead or harming society

In the holy text the Merutantra, the word ‘Hindu’ is defined as ‘Hinani Gunani dushyati iti Hindu.’ Meaning that which destroys the inferior raja-tama components or gunas is a Hindu. Thus, to be a Hindu is to follow a way of life that enhances the spiri-tually pure sattva component and sattva predominant qualities like love, humility, courage, expansiveness, etc. and overcomes the spiritually impure raja-tama predominant attitudes like anger, attachment, jealousy, greed, lust, pride etc.

Who is a Hindu?

Only Hindu Dharma spiritualizes our livesĀchārdharma in the forms of greeting - do namaskār instead of a handshake

Everyday we greet our friends and acquaintances. More often that not, in today’s world the handshake is the preferred form of greeting. However according to Āchārdharma traditions, it is important to greet others with a ‘namaskār’ and not a handshake.

The beauty of Hindu Dharma is that it spiritualizes every aspect of our lives and therefore sets us up to imbibe the maximum amount of sāttvikta and reduce tama in our lives.

While visiting places of worship and viewing (taking darshan of) the deities, or while meeting an elderly or respected person, Hindus’ hands automatically join in obeisance (namaskār). Namaskār is a sattva predominant gesture and is a simple and beautiful expression of divine qualities like devotion, love, respect and humility that endows one with Divine energy. Spiritually by doing namaskār, we pay obeisance with head bowed to the Divinity (the Soul) in the person we meet. Understanding the

spiritual science (adhyātma shāstra) behind a religious act (Dhārmik kruti) like namaskār helps in further strengthening the faith in this religious act.

As opposed to namaskār, the handshake has no spiritual significance. In fact because of the contact it is easier for the negative vibrations from one person to transfer and affect the other person. This is especially if one of the people is affected by distressing energies. According to the Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) which studies these subtle energies, it is said that when there is bodily contact as in a handshake, we are twice as much likelier to attract negative energies. The following is a subtle picture drawn by a person from SSRF with an advanced sixth sense of vision of the handshake as a form of greeting.

What is Āchārdharma?

Āchārdharma can be defined as spiritualization of every aspect of our day-to-day life. It in-volves making everything sāttvik (pure) and it not only increases purity of the individual, but also of the family, society and the universe as well. The aim of Āchārdharma as well as spiritual practice is God-realisation.

Sanatan Hindu Dharma has innumerable facets. Hindu Dharma is eternal and will never cease to exist. It is like a vast and deep ocean. Only one drop of it is sufficient for us !

- His Holiness Gurudev Dr. Kateswamiji

A family when compared to an individual, a village when compared to a family, a nation when compared to a village and Righteousness (Dharma) when compared to a nation are each superior. This is be-cause only Righteousness (Dharma) is capable of imparting Final Liberation (Moksha), whereas all others trap us in the Great Illusion (Māyā)! That is why one should undertake spiritual practice.

- His Holiness Dr J.B. Athavale

By choosing namaskar over a handshake, we gain spiritual benefit from the sāttvikta of the hand gesture (mudra) and also do not put ourselves or others in a spiritually detrimental situation of transfer of negative energy.

ĀchārdharmaWe just explained the spiritual science behind why it is better to greet with namaskār as opposed to a handshake. Like this we would like to share with you some of the various actions that Hindu Dharma recommends to enhance the sāttvikta in our lives. For more details on the spiritual science behind these actions please visit HinduAwakening.org

Regarding women’s hairstyles

• While combing hair, women should sit on the floor, bring the knee towards the stomach, bend forward a little and part the hair exactly in the middle.

• To prevent distress caused due to negative energies, throw the hair out after two days. • Instead of letting the hair loose, style them in a bun or in two braids.

Regarding food - sāttvik food groups

Avoid tāmasik items Prefer sāttvik items

Stale items, 'fast foods', artificially flavoured cold drinks

Includes, milk, ghee, wheat, rice, pulses, fruits and green vegetables

For a Healthy Digestive System : Eat only as much as is required to fill half the stomach with food; leave one quarter for water and one quarter for air.

The appropriate method of eating

• It is recommended to sit with legs folded on a wooden platform as opposed to sitting at a table.

• Avoid sitting facing the south direction. • Do not eat left overs of another person as it can cause distress

from negative energies. • Do not leave any food on your plate. • Offer the food to God and eat it while chanting the Name of

God. • Express gratitude unto the deity of worship after your meal and only then get up from your

seat

How to sleep better

• Let the bedroom not be completely dark. • Make a protective sheath of sāttvik Name strips of deities

around the place you sleep. • Pray to God to forgive various wrong doings committed during

the day • Pray to your deity of worship - ‘Let your protective sheath

remain around me.’ • Sleep in the east-west direction. • Do not sleep with your legs towards the south or directly in front of the deity’s idol.

Why is the wearing of kumkum recommended?

If kumkum (vermillion) is applied regularly, it will attract Chaitanya (Divine Consciousness) from the Universe towards the individual and awaken the individual’s bhav (spiritual emotion). The picture on the side is a subtle drawing of how a person with a sixth sense of vision perceived the positive subtle vibrations associated with kumkum.

Method: Men should apply a vertical tilak of kumkum with the middle finger. Women should apply kumkum in a round shape on their mid-brow region with the ring finger.

Only Hindu Dharma gives us a clear scienceThe best mudrā (hand gesture) for prayer

The picture on the left depicts the mudrā that is recom-mended by Hindu Dharma when making a prayer which helps to make our prayers more bhavpoorna (with spiritual emotion). Among the various postures used for paying obeisance, we receive the highest amount of sattva component from the posture (mudrā) of namaskār.

Spiritual research conducted by the Spiritual Science Research Foundation shows the subtle vibrations and energies that get attracted due to this mudrā.

Divine subtle (intangible) frequencies

Subtle (intangible) divine frequencies enter through the ādnyā chakra (the spiritual energy centre at the midbrow region)

Initial mudrā (posture) when praying

The first stage in this mudrā is raising one’s hands in prayer with the thumbs gently touching the mid-brow region or the Ādnyā chakra (the spiritual energy centre at the mid-brow region). It is best to begin praying after we are in this position.

When we bow our head in this prayer position, it awakens the spiritual emotion of surrender in us. This in turn activates the appropriate subtle frequencies of deities from the Universe. These divine frequencies come in through our finger tips which act as receptors. These divine frequencies are then channelled into our body through the thumb to the Ādnyā chakra (the spiritual energy centre at the mid-brow region). The result is an increase in the positive spiritual energy in us which makes us feel lighter or gives relief from symptoms of physical or mental distress.

Final mudrā (posture) when praying

Copyright SSRF.org

Divine subtle (intangible) frequencies

Subtle (intangible) divine frequencies enter through the Anāhat chakra (the spiritual energy centre at the midchest level)

The Divine Consciousness (Chaitanya) spreads from the hands into the body

After one finishes one’s prayer, one should assume the second mudrā (posture) as shown in the diagram above on the previous page. This means that instead of bringing his hands in prayer down immediately, they are to be placed in the mid-chest region in such a way that the wrists touch the chest. This facilitates the process of more completely imbibing the Divine Consciousness of the deity principle. So initially the Divine Consciousness of the deity principle that had entered the finger tips now also gets transmitted to the region of chest, the seat of the Anāhat chakra. Just like the Ādnyā chakra, the Anāhat chakra also absorbs sattva frequencies. By touching the wrists to the chest, the Anāhat chakra is activated and it helps in absorbing more sattva frequencies. When activated, the Anāhat chakra awakens a seeker’s spiritual emotion and devotion. In this stage of the prayer mudrā, one should be introspective and contemplate upon the experience of being in God’s presence.

Spiritual Practice

• The balanced state of mind despite the ups and downs of life

• The increased tolerance for pain in one’s life • Personality development • Insulation from destiny (karma) • Bliss - a superlative form of happiness • Liberation from the cycle of birth and death

Benefits of spiritual practice and starting your spiritual journey

May the unhappy become curious, The curious, desirous of Liberation.May those desirous of Liberation become seekers (sadhaks)And may seekers attain the Final Liberation

- His Holiness Dr J.B. Athavale

Spiritual practice can be defined as honest and sincere efforts done consistently on a daily basis to develop divine qualities and achieve everlasting happiness or Bliss.

Another way of defining spiritual practice is our personal journey of going inward beyond our five senses, mind and intellect to experience the Soul (the God) within each one of us. One of the qualities of God is perpetual Bliss and so by tapping into the Soul, we too experience Bliss.

For spiritual practice to generate rapid spiritual growth it should:

- Conform to the six basic principles of spiritual practice - Be done in progressively higher increments qualitatively and quantitatively

What is denigration and why we must stop denigration !

In a broad sense, denigration means displaying something in an undesirable form/shape, different from its original form/shape. Any act or object that obstructs the emanation of subtle sāttvik vibrations of the Divine can also be considered denigration. For the purpose of preserving Hindu Dharma, we have focused on bringing to light the denigration of deities, concepts and practices held sacred in Hindu Dharma. Such denigration by Hindus and non-Hindus has been found in paintings, sculptures, text, plays, movies, etc.

Over the past many decades this denigration of Hindu deities has only been increasing. In fact it seems that since there are so many, we as Hindus have become indifferent to it. Let us look at a few examples of this widespread denigration.

Mumbai based evening newspaper Mid-Day’ (Editor: Khalid A-H Ansari) has shown Lord Ganesh as Adolf Hitler, Terrorist Osama Bin Laden and US President George W. Bush in their edition of 29th August 2006. After Hindus protested, the Mid-day apologized. However on the very next page, ‘Mid-Day’ has again drawn one more cari-cature of Lord Ganesh. It shows Lord Ganesh driving a car and the mouse is relaxing on the back seat.

The story says, “The mouse may be Lord Ganesha’s vehicle, but Dilip Mukkavar, a believer in changing times, is making sure that the tusked God has something better to travel in. The Naigaon resident had visited Lalbagcha Raja last year and prayed for a baby boy. Mukkavar had promised to gift Ganpati Rs 2.6 lakh A/C Maruti 800 if his wish came true.”

On the left here is a poster of Goddess Durga with whisky bottles in Her hands and it was found displayed at the Balon Oriental Disco Bar in the Athens, Greece.

These are just a couple of the myriad examples of the wide-spread denigration that is plaguing Hinduism today. Stopping denigration - an integral part of the preservation of Dharma!

Every time a denigration happens: • It adversely impacts the faith of people in the Divine. • Creates a doubt about the credibility of the Divine or its Symbols. • Sets incorrect examples for future generations. Eventually, it

can erode Dhārmik practices and moral, social and spiritual values.

Putting a stop to denigration

Importance of Divine symbols

1. Divine symbols emanate sattva component (or Divine vibrations).2. A Divine symbol embodies the Divine being it represents. Hence, it represents Divine

qualities and serves as a beacon for the common man to walk the right path in this life.3. A Divine symbol serves as a source of inspiration to an individual, to live his life in a

Righteous manner.4. For a believer in the Divine being, His symbol draws equal reverence. (In contrast, a

non-believer finds it impossible to feel anything for the symbol, when he does not believe in the Divine.)

5. Because of such qualities and their nature, Divine symbols occupy a special place in the hearts and minds of the devout. Faith, which follows, is a by-product of this phenomenon. Divinity of the mind is the ultimate stage in evolution of a man. To achieve this, he requires the help of some form/shape. Symbols serve this purpose.

Types of denigration

1. Intentional : A. Out of malice Example: Paintings by M.F. Husain

B. To destroy its importance and create doubts about it in the minds of people Example: Sree Ganesh depicted as Hitler, Laden and Bush 2. Unintentional: A. Out of ignorance Example: Lord Shiva depicted as a dog

B . For commercial gains Example: Sree Durga with whisky bottles in Her hand

C . As lack of pride for its qualities Example: Sree Krushna in a pair of shorts All these examples can be found on http://www.hindujagruti.org/denigrations/ As we make an effort to understand Hindu Dharma, be awakened about its concepts and live by its principles, the next step, naturally, is to preserve the glory of Hinduism. To do so, we have to share the unique spiritual science underlying Hinduism with others. We also have to peacefully protest and bring to a stop, any denigration of or assaults on concepts, symbols, objects and Saints held sacred in Hinduism. In this section we have made an effort to report various such onslaughts, to create awareness and to encourage peaceful and prompt protests from our readers.

What you can do to serve Hindu Dharma

Simple steps to start your spiritual practice (sādhanā) today! (As per Path of Guru’s grace - Gurukrupayoga)

1. Chanting the Name of your family deity (Kuldevi)If you do not know your family deity you can chant the generic name for your family deity which is Sree Kuladevatāyai Namaha

Method of repeating (chanting) the family deity’s Name: Sree should prefix the Name of the family deity, the Name that follows should be in dative case (chaturthi pratyay) and should conclude with namahā.

For instance, if the family deity is > Ganesh then ‘Sree Ganeshaya namahā (ßeer ieCesMeeÙe vece: ~)’, > Bhavani, then ‘Sree Bhavanimatayai namahā (ßeer YeJeeveerceeleeÙew vece: ~) or Sree Bhavanidevyai namahā (ßeer YeJeeveerosJÙew vece: ~)’.

2. Chanting a protection chant

In today’s world almost all of us are affected by problems caused due to departed ancestors. By repeating Lord Datta’s Name (i.e. the aspect of God that protects us from these ancestral problems) we get insulated from these problems. The chant is ‘Sree Gurudev Datta’ and can be said for a minimum of 2 hours a day.

• As a basic measure we all need to study Hindu Dharma and understand it. This will help to generate pride in our religion and also share Hinduism’s unparalleled knowledge with others and especially our children.

• To practice on a daily basis what we learn so that when we share the knowledge, it is sent forth with a force that is backed by spiritual experience and spiritual maturity.

• Increase our spiritual strength (atmabal) by taking up spiritual practice of a non-sectarian and expansive nature with the sole aim of spiritual progress in order to counter the current negativities effecting society.

• Every denigration of Hinduism should be protested against peacefully but surely! We shall not support any art, products or any media that denigrate our revered concepts and practices!

• To take up a selfless service in society to contribute in preserving Hindu Dharma concepts from attacks through media, writers, policy makers in the Government.

• Contribute in making efforts that Hinduism should be recognized as a major religion as are others like Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism !

The Spiritual Science Research FoundationBridging the known and unknown worlds

This is an information advertisementAt the Spiritual Science Research Foundation we have been conducting spiritual research for over 25 years. Spiritual research unlike conventional research is conducted using ones sixth sense and studies the interplay between the three dimensions i.e. physical, psychological and the spiritual. By spiritual dimension we mean that part of the Universe that is beyond the 5 senses, mind and intellect and which can only be perceived by the sixth sense. It includes the worlds of Heaven (Swargloka), Hell (Pātāl) and subtle energies which can be either positive or negative.

We have found that up to 80% of problems in life have their root cause in the spiritual dimension and can only be overcome by spiritual means. Our research findings have been published free-of-charge on our website www.ssrf.org. Look for the sections on Destiny and problems due to departed ancestors and the solutions to overcome them.

The following are just some of the spiritual research experiments that have been conducted to understand the influence of the spiritual dimension on us depending on the choices that we make and the effect of these choices on any negative energies possessing or affecting us. Some of these experiments have been conducted using biofeedback machines which show up the effect of various stimuli such as music, prayer, etc., on our chakras and our auras.

Effect of the type of music that we listen to whether it is hard rock, love songs, opera, chanting the Name of God or hymns (bhajans) sung by Saints. Some genres of music we found aided demonic possession while others such as chanting and Saints bhajans healed us spiritually.

Effect of the colours we wear. Our research has shown that the colour black is spiritually detrimental for us while white, blues and yellows are spiritually beneficial.

Effect of being in the company of spiritually evolved and in the company of people possessed.

Effect of deities pictures when worn on our bodies.

Effect of various symbols such as Om, the Swastik, etc.

Effect of attending ārti. Spiritual healing effect of items that belong to a Saint. For example the healing effect of a Saint’s handwriting.

Spiritual research into the various problems that can be caused due to negative energies.

Problems such as addictions and mental illnesses in almost all cases have their root cause in the spiritual dimension.
