"
It is important that you immediately refrain from following the patterns taught to you or your parents by the British Christians. One such pattern is that if one person in the community comes up, cut him down, malign him, criticize him until all heads are leveled. If anyone does want to help out spiritually, they have to be quiet and conceal themselves, lest they be maligned. Nobody is standing up to defend the religion; nobody is allowing anybody else to stand up either. This has to change. It has to change, no matter how painful it might be to praise people rather than criticize them, and to support and to protect them.

Another writing of Sivaya Subramuniyaswami that I absolutely love is:

Hinduism, the Greatest Religion in the World (http://www.hinduismtoday.com/archives/2000/2/2000-2-03.shtml) (Part I)
Hinduism, the Greatest Religion in the World (http://www.hinduismtoday.com/archives/2000/3-4/2000-3-03.shtml) (Part II)

I recommend everyone here to read it.

OM Shanti,

I AM HINDU.

We can say it in different languages. I am sure we have people here who speak many different languages. Can y'all please help me translate the sentence "I AM HINDU" into different languages? I will start:

English: I am Hindu
French: Je suis Hindou
Spanish: Soy Hindu
Hindi: Mai~n Hindu hoon

Please continue adding to this list. Thanks.

I am Hindu.

Hinduism seeks Truth and is Truth. In Autobiography of a Yogi, talking about yoga, he explains how even if all the knowledge, books, yogis were destroyed, yoga would still resurface because it is Truth. Some devoted soul would eventually come along and in the stillness see the Truth.Along the same lines:

"Should all the temples be destroyed, they would spring up again from the seeds of philosophy, or from the presence of a realized man. And if all the scriptures and philosophical treatises were burned, they would be written again from the same source. So, Hinduism cannot be destroyed. It can never be destroyed. It exists as the spirit of religion within each being. Its three aspects, the temple, the philosophy and the satguru, individually proficient, taken together make Hinduism the most vital and abundant religion in the world."
