Frequently Asked Questions
H
indu culture is founded upon the sacred scriptures,
the Vedas, which are revered even today, for they
contain revelations of eternal Truth and embody the
spiritual and cultural heritage of the Hindu people. The
Vedas are the legacy of the rishis, or subjective scientists,
who touched a deep chord within, far beyond the physical,
mental, and intellectual layers, from where they saw
all life as interconnected. They saw the One manifested
throughout the universe, making everything sacred to
them. When life is honored and belief in holiness of all
life is fostered, one cannot help but acquire a deep sense
of reverence for life. Hindu culture evolved out of this
vision. This book provides concise and precise answers
to 89 basic questions about Hinduism, unfolding the
foundation upon which Hindu culture rests. It is based
on our earlier publication “Our Heritage” by R S Nathan
(Swami Nityananda).
