Hinduism have never been merely a religion, a philosophy, or a society. It is the most ancient tradition of refuge for the wisdom of Self, the sanctuary of inwardness, the labyrinth of the conscious heart. Its vast knowledge and interworking of the principle of Isvara- the Awareness that leads to absolute freedom of the human journey, is unmatched. In reality, it is the only complete living system that we know of which fosters the uncompromising freedom of the individual to soar beyond the boundaries of ancestry, religion, and tyranny. For these reasons, Hinduism might well remain forever feared, downgraded, and reviled by the politic of powerful societies.
