<strong>Hinduism</strong>: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 17<br />

Sri Jayendra Sarasvati:<br />

69th Shankaracharya of the Kamakoti Peetham,<br />

Kanchipuram.<br />

1) The concept of idol worship and the worship of God in His nirguna as<br />

well as saguna form.<br />

2) The wearing of sacred marks on the forehead.<br />

3) Belief in the theory of past and future births in accordance with the<br />

theory of karma.<br />

4) Cremation of ordinary men and burial of great men<br />

Thus, we see that <strong>Hinduism</strong> is not a unified religion and in the process of<br />

history, something happened to mix up the basic unity of the religion of<br />

India viz. the great concepts of Para-Brahman and the acts of God in<br />

history. The only common factor today is the specific beliefs connected<br />

with re-incarnation and idol worship. It is this historical development<br />

that we are looking at.
