Religion and Dharma are not the same. Religion is not
Dharma but Dharma Mat or Majhab. It creats small
barriers on the basis of dogma and superstitions.
Dharma has no English equivalent word. Some people
terms it with the word ´Spirituality´ which doesn´t
reflect the inner meaning of the word "Dharma". Dharma
means the inner most charracteristic of an entity. For
example, the Dharma or the inner most charracteristic
of fire is to burn, the Dharma of the water is make
something wet or to flow. In the same way the Dharma
of animals to eat, sleep, try to protect from dangers
and to make reproduction. If human beings are limited
with these four basic activities only, they are in no
way different from the animals. What makes the humans
different from the animals? That is the inner desire
to attain the infinite happiness. "Sukham Anantam
Anandam". When the happiness reaches the state of
infinity that is called Anandam. To attain Anandam is
the Dharma of human beings. If we analise with a
rational mind, human society had experienced a
numerous bloodsheds in the name of religion. Religions
don´t preech the message of peace or Anandam rather
they create divisions in the society. They are the
diseases of the human society. To attain the Anandam
or the infinite happiness, one doesn´t have to limit
oneslef with the barrier of any religion. By the
scientific excersises of psycho-spiritual practices,
one can attain that noble goal of life. The path of
human beings to attain bliss is not any religion but
the Dharma which is universal. Dharma of all the human
beings of this universe is only one. God or the final
destination of all human beings is One. There can not
be any division in the human society. We are the
members of the Cosmic family where the Supreme
Consciouness (Parama Purusa) the father, the Supreme
Creative faculty (Prama Prakrti) is the mother and the
whole universe is our homeland. "Harame Pita, Gauri
Mata, Svadesa Bhuvanatrayam" this is the essence of
all spiritual teachings. Thanks

Religion is an individual concerned, no one can force
to practice or propagate showing different sourses of
tamptation.

Religion is like the river which meets in the
ocean(the creator). Any one who is following that
river is bound to know HIM or meet HIM in unique way
as every river has a different delta near the ocean.
That is what Hinduism says. I don´t like the meaning
of Hinduism marginalised by considering it as a
religion as is done by the swami. Hinduism is like the
universal father of all religion not mother as it
nourishes all religion under its shadow, where as a
mother gives birth to a religion like shaivism,
vaishnavism, buddhism, christianity were created by
some follower of shiva, chaitanya, buddha or christ
correspondingly.

Does it give peace, tolerance, happiness, strength,
hope? Does it preach love to all of humanity & beyond,
does it have unlimited catholicity? Does it attempt to
answer profound philosophical questions? Has it
matured & refined over the ages? Does it
allow/encourage knowledge, rather than renounce or
restrain it in static stubborn boundaries? 
If yes, I´ll take that religion.

Hinduism is the best religion as they does not create
jehadis in the name of religion to kill inocent
people.
