बहुत लोग आश्चर्य करते हैं कि हिंदुओं में इतने भगवान क्यों हैं? सर्वरूप से स्वीकृत एक ईश्वर क्यों नहीं? मुख्य भगवान कौन है?
ये प्रश्न लोगों को भ्रमित करते हैं, खासकर युवा, जो पहले से ही पश्चिमी और विकृत इतिहास के प्रभाव में हैं।
इस thread के माध्यम से समझने कि कोशिश करते हैं 1/n
मूल रूप से, सनातन धर्म केवल परम चेतना अर्थात् "ब्रह्म' में विश्वास करता है।
वह ब्रह्म चेतना जिसने इस पूरे ब्रह्मांड और कई ऐसे ब्रह्मांडों को प्रकट किया है और जो सृष्टि के प्रत्येक कण में व्यापी है।
जो हर जीव जंतु और प्रकृति में व्यापी है।

Ram Setu, bridge that rebuffed fake historians!
They said he is a myth, it’s all just a fairy-tale. It's impossible to build a bridge over the mighty ocean & ancients can't be intelligent & equipped enough!
Myopic historians ranted but the truth emerged out crystal clear!
The world recognized Rame Setu only when it was captured in a few NASA images, although we talked about it for ages.
They don’t know that their shallow outlook of ancient history is a joke, and analyzing it with the perception of a modern lens is plain stupid and unscientific.

Always wonder why some people find it impossible to believe that early humans were scientific too?
It’s hilarious & unscientific to think tht Laws of Nature are accessible only to modern humans!
Let’s debunk the myth & look at some scientific facts from the oldest text: Rig Ved
On Earth’s motion:
Rig Ved 10.22.14
“This earth is devoid of hands and legs, yet it moves ahead. All the objects over the earth also move with it. It moves around the sun."

Rishi Kanada(कणाद) (?BC-?BC)
Rishi Kanada is one of the most profound physicists in entire human history.
The century in which Kanada lived, as per the western scholars, is inexact just like how Mahabharat & other historical events are ill-timed.
In his work Vaisesika Sutra, he talks about various concepts of physics such as types of substance, their attributes, and actions, atoms, the eternality of atoms, the nature of mind, consciousness, space and time, the concept of invariance, the list is long.

Many people wonder why Hinduism has so many sacred books? And which really is the main book of Hinduism?
There seems to be a lot of confusion around Hindu scriptures and below is a humble attempt to throw some light on some of the primary Hindu scriptures.
1/n
Santan is a pluralistic religion & allows people to express fondness for God in their own way.
Thus, there is huge literature available on Hinduism, encompassing thousands of books.
However, the primary & authoritative text of Hinduism is only The Vedas, the ‘Shruti’.

Maharshi Patanjali (??) - Known as the father of modern yoga, Patanjali did not really invent yoga. Yoga was already there in various forms.
Maharshi Patanjali assimilated all aspects of Yoga together and gave the world the very famous 'Yoga Sutras'
The history of Yoga can be traced from Vedic scripture to the modern period, throughout which it underwent successive refinements.
However, Yoga as a discipline was detailed first by Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras, the first systematized treatise on Yogic theory and practice.
