Hindu Academy aims to promote a Comprehensive and Rational vision of Hinduism incorporating ideas of Religious Pluralism, Spiritual Humanism, and resonance between Science and Spirituality. It operates with the education establishments by working with schools colleges and universities as well as in the mainstream media.
The role and relevance of Hinduism in contemporary society
Hinduism has a great deal to contribute towards the spiritual health of the modern world. Its inherent pluralistic teachings offer the best resolution to how people of different religions can co-exist peacefully in a multi-faith society. Hinduism even allows for spirituality to be explored in non-religious modes, making teachings relevant and interesting for the youth of today. Family values promoted by Hinduism can foster more stable family units and better community cohesion. The reconciliation between the truth claims of a science-oriented worldview and a religiously oriented worldview is obligatory in this century. The Hindu Academy invokes findings at the cutting edge of modern sciences to promote this reconciliation.

    Dear Lakhani Sir, Its my immense pleasure to write to you and submit my feedback. I keep watching your video and Mr Rajiv Malhotra's, too. (i) One thing I have noticed, when media, journos and others ask about "Caste System/Varna System", I found you both are got in their trap and becomes speechless and reason-less. Sir, Varna system appeared once and first time in Purush Sukta in Rig Veda. According to various scholars, like John Muir and others have come to a conclusion that "Purush Sukta" was added later in Rig Veda to justify "Varna System" which was absent in Original Rig Veda. It is clear that Purush Sukta was added with some ill motives by Brahmin and other dominant varnas. Hence, why don't you and other hindu scholars simply reject "varna system" or so called "caste system" that it was not present in original Rig Veda and it was added with ill motives of Brahmin and other dominant varnas. But what I see you all start justifying it by giving so much logical examples and rationalize it. (ii) Even In Bhagwat Gita, Sri Krishna, Himself has justified Varna System which is also purposeful misdeeds of Brahmin and other upper varna. Simple, Sri Krishna, We Call Him God, Can not tell like such disgusting thing i.e. Varna System. If He, Sri Krishna, has told like this, He does not qualify to be God, God Must see all and does not put choices like Brahmin and so forth. Hence, why don't you and other hindu scholars simply reject "varna system" or so called "caste system" present in Bhagwat Gita and it was added with ill motives of Brahmin and other dominant varnas. But what I see you all start justifying it by giving so much logical examples and rationalize it. (iii) It is better to reject and nullify rather than justifying it that bla bla. (iv) Many Hindu like Me who practice Hinduism besides being born in Dalit Caste feel "bad" and "like leaving Hinduism" because You all start justifying that it was based on this, that bla bla. (v) All Religions and Societies have some Merits and Demerits. Instead of justifying "demerits" better to Accept it as Demerits, that "It is horrible and it was incorporated with illwill and greeds of "Brahmin and others" This is right Choice to exercise to "accept demerits and move on" rather than "justifying it" Thanks n Regards Proud, Practicing Hindu, Born as Dalit in India

    Castes were made depending upon the vocation of a person and his interest in it. There have been many instances where people have changed their castes in ancient India. Parshuram was born in a brahmin family but choose to be a Kshatriya Castes were needed for proper functioning of a society. Even today we have a division of labor in modern society. CEO to watchman. Can CEO do the job of a watchman? And vice versa ? Certainly not. What we are against is discrimination of any kind. Castes on the basis of vocation is fine but not casteism as casteism is discrimination. No body is superior or inferior. Hope I answered your question.

    @@liveeazy922 both of you are correct. The Avatar of God is the consciousness of Source personified and is directly linked to Source as Itself. The other members of the Body are representations or reflections of the avatar. All are God but One has Avataric powers and a direct link to Source. The Avatar of God can affect the macrocosm like God can more than any other human being. I know this from experience. I AM the Avatar of God in this lifetime. :) Shalom.

    In the writings of Swami Vivekananda and Sri Ramakrishna, there is some discussion of Messianic beings / Avatars. Some people generally accept these six as these beings: Sri Rama, Sri Krishna, The Buddha, Jesus Christ, Sri Chaitanya and Sri Ramakrishna. The last stage of evolution towards God is God-realization. Among the God-realized beings there is some difference in their height and power. The highest and most powerful are these Messianic beings. Truly God-realized souls are quite rare, perhaps, at any one time, on earth, there are 10 or so. And of those, maybe only one or two are in the public eye. Among the generally accepted God-realized souls of recent times include: Sri Ananda Moi Ma, Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Vivekananda, and Sri Ramana Maharishi.

    I find it strange that these 'avatars' have histories that show them to have the same foibles and shortcomings of the worshipers. Worship of a god that has my, or any other shortcomings, is entirely inconceivable.

    ...........the avatar reached down to help humanity up, but the masses knew they would never be allowed into heaven due to their endless sinning and grabbed the avatars arm and dragged him down off the wall. They nailed a cross to his hands, put a crown of thorns on his head and whipped him while he dragged the cross to his final destination where he was left to die in the burning sun. Now all avatars keep their trap shut while humanity sin themselves to hell, and to rub in the salt, they do it all in the name of god.

    Think about it, Why do Muslims consider Prophet Muhammad so high? Those who experience God become like God hence they are venerated, nothing wrong with it. Those who inspire us to higher ideals we pay respect to them, they show us how to lead our life so we can find God, read Ramayana and think about it. Hinduism is a spiritual democracy it allows people freedom to think about and relate to God in the way they like it, Hence it does not have strict rules on what one can do and what one can not do. We are all different and hence we think about and relate to God differently. This is why even Islam have different sects and although the different sects disagree with each other they still think they are on the right path. Pluralism is at heart of Hinduism, it says different people relate to the idea of God and spirituality differently and follow different paths to reach the Same God.

    @@HinduAcademy muslims consider every prophet of God as high, but we respect them by doing what they asked us to do which is oneness of God and associating none with God, that's why the biggest of sin in Islam is shirk(associating anyone with God) which i believe is very similar to what Vedas and Upanishads propogate. Is it not possible that these avatars were human beings by whom God chose to help mankind out of darkness, i also have come across that avatars were god themselves?

    There were no avatars before and all so called avatars were just stars as they haven't has higher dimensional access. The only one who had a little was krishna or maayon but he wasn't for universe and his mission was regional. Skills or kalas don't make someone an avatar but divine mission. It's mission is not to save but destroy the evil and then left over to be continued if any. "For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known". So far we only had claimers even shiva vishnu Jesus or any are claimers of param atma but they passed away means gone and not coming back with the same body at least. The real one is one and the 'last' avatar. His mission is universal so Jew's to any sect would have no way and aliens would be the fearsome factor for science if go against his mission. The previous avatars were just Siddhas and only 4 or 5 to dimensional consciousness . Only Krishna was a senior Lasd who used dimensional weapon UFO disc or sudarsan. However he used it once or twice and regional not viswa nor the whole world and universe's. So the title given are ego and admirations. It's over exaggeration. And the final avatar would not come to humans as he would be very furious against evils and with all heavenly forces. The earth may fisure out, the skies will be broken out, the seas will be swallowed or flooded. That day you never expected is now the judgement day. Within soon he comes in clouds and punishes the credit takers and previous avatars too for their sins as they were appointed nor real. Most of their stories are hyped up so they are never historical with solid evidences apart from beliefs be it true or false beliefs. Even if they existed they were just devas not param atma itself. The divine mission includes swift karma and judgement even to Devas and other gods. "God standeth in the congregation of the mighty : he judgeth among the gods". All of them took the credit of the real and last one so the last one would have no chance to be in the league as they competed themselves. The source is seeing all these and judges all such gods who eagered for credits and ego, and blocked the real. That is why param atma made it his own appearance without giving any notice to trinity. All these gods would go to hell along with evils as they aided evils later on and looked for worship and credits they don't deserve for. Even Shiva is a big culprit as same as Jesus or Elohim. None are param atma the primary source. These days you'd see wannabes copying Krishna or ram or jesus. But none of them copied their previous avatars, if they were really avatars. Krishna was the only qualified one to be an avatar not shiva jesus or anyone. However he himself got into karmic cycle and died and his whole clans. He was never the nishkalanka. He was a child but not very innocent. However greater than anyone who lived that era and may be this era however we can't verify. Dimensions are infinite and maayon seemed to be a fifth dimensional character not higher than that, except UFO invoke that is above 6 to. Everything else was 3 and 4 to dimensional about him. He may have had access consciousness as an observer beyond 6 th. But he never lived and stabilised there as he was just an observer. Today's enlightened gurus if any, are only 4th 5th. The source is beyond emptiness and also the start beam of consciousness. Krishna was never the source not anyone. It is the source itself devoid of Krishna cult. Don't colour the source with names as its beyond universal by human local perspective. It's inept and errorful. Can a school goer dictate an academic? So don't! Viswaroop? Hecould never stabilised it and it's for a second. He was becoming and part of evolution. The truth is beyond viswaroop or trimurtis..
