THE REBIRTH OF SANATANA DHARMA IN THE LIGHT OF SRI AUROBINDO – PART 3
Sri Aurobindo predicted that the rebirth of Sanatana Dharma was more important for all of humanity than any one person. This Sanatana Dharma has kept Adhyatma as its core basis. It insists on Truth alone, seeks peace, harmony, beauty, perfection, purity, self-knowledge, oneness and unity, light and pleasure, and doesn't reject any part of life. This three-quarter course series is an attempt to look at Sanatana Dharma's principles, core teachings, the Shastras, practices, and the past, present, and future through Sri Aurobindo's eyes. We will also look at the state of the renaissance of Sanatana Dharma, as well as current misunderstandings, misrepresentations, and challenges. We will also look at the wisdom of the old seers and sages through Sri Aurobindo's eyes.
Renaissance of Sanatana Dharma What's in the Course:
Sri Aurobindo thought that India had to rise up so that Sanatana Dharma could be shared with the whole world. He said, "Other religions are mostly about faith and practice, but the Sanatana Dharma is life itself. It's not so much something you have to believe in as live by." This is the dharma that has been kept alive on this land since ancient times so that people can be saved.
It is the Dharma that is open to everyone and includes everyone. The only goal of the Dharma is to win over lies and everything else that holds us back. The goal of Dharma is to wake up the spirit in matter. It is the Dharma that includes every way to connect with the Divine. Unfortunately, after India became independent, it started on a path of growth that deepened a lot of people's misunderstandings and wrong ideas about this eternal Dharma. This made it harder for people to connect with their cultural roots. We are in the middle of a fight that is not only confusing and hard to understand, but also full of blind beliefs and strong feelings. So, the normal young Indian mind, whether it was born and raised in India or somewhere else, feels handicapped when it comes to Sanatana Dharma because it hasn't yet found the conviction to live a life that is in line with its vision.
