Reflections: being an adherent of Sanatana Dharma does not negate the validity of any other faith tradition. I go before the Kami and pray before the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar. Last, the Bhagavad Gita teaches us to affirm the other faith traditions. So it is problematic to accidentally dilute someone else's convictions. But if invited and if that naturally happens: that is fair game. But we reject the idea of pulling any others away from their chosen path and hope to see their paths strengthened. If challenged to a fiery theological debate, then it is fair game: all is fair in love and war. Otherwise, we encourage growing stronger in fidelity to one’s existing path. Last, I will keep punching holes and annihilating this prevailing myth that one needs a “serene and contemplative” personality for religion. O No, No, No, No, everyone has an individual intrinsic nature (svabhava prakriti) and the heated of the Mode of Passion: Anger, Rage, etc, are All Natural to Mankind’s Constitution. Your path to Moksha is based on your nature. No “One Size Fits All”. Spiritual Paths for the Both the Very Warlike and the Very Contemplative and Everything in Between. I can be a total enraged lunatic running amok the mountains, I don’t need to be St. Francis of Assisi. Just a personal reflection and food for thought challenging what it means to be religious.
