Why do the religious preachers of #Hinduism- #SanatanaDharma are not highlighting these great aspects of the religion to educate & inspire the young minds?

Hinduism stands apart because of its plurality, timelessness, and philosophical depth.
This is what distinguishes Hinduism from others.
Unlike #Christianity (#Jesus), #Islam (#ProphetMuhammad), or #Buddhism (Buddha), Hinduism has no single founder.

#SanatanaDharma - an eternal way of life, evolved over thousands of years.
The #Vedas are considered not of human origin, but discovered through meditation and experience of sages -not dictated by a prophet.
Emphasis is on personal realization rather than unquestioning belief.

Hinduism accepts multiple paths to TRUTH: (Truth is one, sages call it by many names).
It accepts polytheism, monotheism, pantheism, and even atheism.
This inclusiveness is rare - most religions insist theirs is the only truth.

see time linearly- one creation, one life, one judgement.
Hinduism sees time as cyclical-creation, preservation, dissolution & rebirth (yugas, kalpas)
Instead of a single life followed by eternal heaven or hell, Hinduism teaches multiple births and deaths governed by karma.

Liberation (moksha) comes when one breaks free from this cycle.
Ritualistic worship (puja, temple offerings).
Philosophical inquiry (Vedanta, Yoga,).
Devotion (bhakti) to a chosen deity or personal god.
Meditation and self-realization (dhyana, jnana yoga).

This flexibility allows people of different temperaments to find a path.
Hinduism is not just a religion of rituals but a complete philosophy.
Concepts like #Advaita (non-duality), #Dvaita (dualism), #Vishishtadvaita (qualified monism) make it unique in intellectual richness.

There is no fixed dogma, single holy book binding all Hindus (unlike Bible, Quran).
Scriptures range from the #Vedas, #Upanishads, #Puranas, #BhagavadGita, #Ramayana, #Mahabharata, #Vedanta scriptures-each offering different dimensions.

Despite being the world’s oldest religion, Hinduism is still evolving.
It absorbs new ideas while keeping its roots, unlike some religions that resist change.
Hinduism is a Way of Life -It doesn’t separate “religion” from “daily living.”

Ethics, social duties (#dharma), art, music, dance, science, medicine (Ayurveda), all flow from the same philosophy.
Hinduism emphasizes “explore, experience, and realize.- it is BEING & BECOMING"
