I have seen this mentioned a lot in recent threads ranging from history of Bharat to current events in the middle east, so feel that this is something that deserves it's own space. What is Dharmic religion and why is it compared favourably with Abrahamic faith? Those who have brought this topic up in recent days and might have some input: @Champ_Pal and @JaDed

Of course others of dharmic persuasion are welcome to contribute along with non dharmics, hoping for a fruitful discussion which will lead to greater understanding.
 
I get this feeling majority of these BJP Indians don't sincerely practice their religion. It is likely they are cultural (and pretentious) Hindus.

Their issue seems to be entirely with Islam. They are not devoted toward their religion sincerely.
 
Dharmic religion is a broad term which includes many religions like Hinduism , Buddhism , Jainism and Sikhism.
Hinduism roots were developed during Indus Valley Civilization but was structured Vedic period.
Jainism developed around 1500-1000 BC taking the most pacifist elements from Hinduism. Most revered Jainism preacher is Mahavira (24th Supreme Preacher) who lived around 600 BC.
Gautam Buddha born around time time of Mahavira developed Buddhism. He took elements from Hinduism and Jainism.
Sikhism is mostly based on teaching of Guru Nanak (born 1469). He took elements from Dharmic religion and Islam.

Hinduism belongs to polytheistic branch of religions like Roman , Greek and Egyptian. So its teaching and mythologies are in contrast to Abhrahmic religions. Like every other religion it has both good and bad elements in their teaching. In the present age of youtube etc everything gets dissected so people who likes alternative answers to their religious queries is available at click of button.

Why do you always derail a thread? Where did I mention Imran Khan, Shakib?

Here was what I wrote:

I meant regular BJP voters.

Thank you for the detailed reply, added some useful historical context to plug a few gaps in my knowledge.
 
All religions are nonsense. Abrahamic religions are a little more nonsense since they try to clarify and give precise rules based on old books that were interesting at the time. Dharmic religions are a little less nonsense since they don't depend on a single or couple of book/s and leave things ambiguous to be interpreted by current followers.
 
Would these also be considered Dharmic?

Good question. In all the discussions I've had with PP Hindus the impression I've always got is that Dharma is very local to Bharat, although I'm not really sure where they draw the boundaries. I've seen Afghanistan included as part of Akhand Bharat although I doubt that has ever been run by the Afghans in political discourse between the two countries.
 
Would these also be considered Dharmic?
Dharmic religions were first developed in Subcontinent. So other major Polytheistic religion are not considered part of it.
However all major Polytheistic have some similarity. For example All have Sun gods. Other extinct civilization like Sumerian followed this pattern too.
One of the oldest Information regarding India from non Local Source is Indica by Megasthenes. Megasthenes visited India during the time of Alexander and wrote a book about it.
Dharmic religion spread east instead of west. This might be due to difficultly navigating Hindu Kush mountain range. Buddhism reached furthest of lot (Japan). Many Hindu temples are still in Malaysia/ Indonesia.
 
A lot of religions were sent by God and that is why they share certain overarching concepts. The main one has always been to worship Him and Him alone. However, the devil’s ultimate goal has always been to misdirect mankind to associate partners to God. Which is the biggest sin, shirk.

So even though the religion starts off with purity, the devil slowly misguides people to start adding idols and other innovation, such as editing holy texts sent by God to satisfy their own egotistical desires, until they go completely off track and God sends another messenger to bring them back on track.

This has been the case since Prophet Adam peace be upon him to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him- the final prophet. There are potentially thousands and thousands of prophets between the two all across the globe. But the Quran is the only book that has remained pure and unedited since its revelation all the way till the Day of Judgement.

The summary of this post is basically that ... all other religions claiming to be religions are devils handiwork except ofcourse your religion ? Did I get that right ?

As I said, other faiths outside of what we know as Islam today can also be sent by God too originally. If I was alive during Moses’s (Prophet Musa) period I would follow him. If I was alive during Jesus (Prophet Isa’s) period I would follow him. If I was alive during Noah’s (Prophet Nuh) period, I would follow him.

Why? Because Islam is what all these prophets and countless others were preaching. Because at its core the literal definition of Islam means to submit to God, and God alone.

Moses, Jesus, Abraham, Noah, Adam etc were all Muslims because they submitted their will to God.

Their unfiltered and unedited texts and rules and laws sent by God was Islam of that period.

But once governments, kings, priests with ill intentions edited the texts and laws to benefit themselves, then those religions were corrupted. They still had the elements of what God revealed, but it was mixed with a lot of man made falsehood.

This is why a Muslim cannot burn or trash a Bible, a Torah and other religious books because there may be parts of the texts that are still unedited. And so doing anything like that will be disrespectful to God.

For eg, the prophecy of the arrival of Prophet Muhammad PBUH is mentioned in ancient Hindu texts:


There are theories that Buddha may have been a prophet too, we don’t know. God knows best.

But the point is all prophets pointed toward the oneness of God, but over time, the devil tempted their people out of this overarching concept by either worshipping the prophet themselves, or worshipping / associating partners to God, at times His own creation. Eg the sun, the moon, stars, animals, etc

This has always been and always will be the devil’s goal till the Day of Judgement. The biggest sin. Atheists aren’t safe from this either. Because he has them worshipping their desires, be it wealth, lust, or whatever else of this world as their idol.

So in summary: other religions can have elements of truth but at this point have been corrupted by man, and yes, Islam is the only true faith.
 
If you wish to add videos, provide a good explanation of what you saw in it and use it to back your points.
 
Dharma essentially to my knowledge is the truth of life and the way to live.

Dharma differs by various paths to achieve Moksha and Nirvana.

Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism to me are just schools of thought with a common origin. It is about relieving the soul from earthly sufferings.

Hinduism believes in supreme being Brahman(not to confuse with Brahmin caste). It is polytheistic in nature.

Buddhism and Jainism are atheistic. But Jainism believes in the veneration of noble men with great qualities.

Buddhism has many schools and can be polytheistic too. The Vajrayana school is polytheistic.

Here lies the difference.
There is no devil or Satan in Dharmic religions. Good and evil is within you. There is no outside power whispering in your ear or making you do evil things. The choice is yours and you have to choose one of the existing teachings of Shiva or Vishnu Avatars or Buddha or Jain Thirthankaras to overcome bad intentions within you to attain Moksha/Nirvana.
 
One has to understand Dharma first which in itself doesn't have a proper english counterpart.

Dharma is a Hindu, Buddhist, and yogic concept that refers to a law or principle that governs the universe. It is a combination of morality and spiritual discipline that guides one in living one's life.

Dharma includes various aspects

* Sanātana Dharma, the eternal and unchanging principals of dharma.
* Varṇ āśramā dharma, one's duty at specific stages of life or inherent duties.
* Sva dharma, one's own individual or personal duty.
* Āpad dharma, dharma prescribed at the time of adversities.
* Sadharana dharma, moral duties irrespective of the stages of life.
* Yuga dharma, dharma which is valid for a yuga, an epoch or age as established by Hindu tradition and thus may change at the conclusion of its time.

Given time, place and location our individual Dharma might change but the Sanatana Dharama is what Dharmic religions are based of.

  1. Sanatana-dharma – duties performed according to one's spiritual (constitutional) identity as atman (Self) and are thus the same for everyone. General duties include virtues such as honesty, refraining from injuring living beings, purity, goodwill, mercy, patience, forbearance, self-restraint, generosity, and asceticism.

  2. Varnashrama-dharma (a.k.a. Svadharma) – duties performed according to one's material (conditional) nature and are specific to the individual at that particular time. One's "own duty" according to his or her class or varna and stage of life should win when in conflict with Sanatana-dharma

These form core of any dharmic religions
 

Andhra Temple Stampede Caught on Cam: Video Shows Screams, Panic, Chaos as Several Crushed​






Ten people died in a stampede during Ekadashi celebrations at Venkateswara Swamy temple in Andhra Pradesh’s Srikakulam district after overcrowding and panic broke out among devotees early Saturday morning.



Andhra Stampede News: In a disturbing incident, 10 people died after a stampede occurred at the Venkateswara Swamy temple in Kasibugga, Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh, on Saturday, November 1. The incident occurred during Ekadashi celebrations when thousands of devotees were visiting the temple to offer prayers early in the morning.
Several videos of the incident have surfaced online, showing severe overcrowding and no space for movement within the temple premises. The situation quickly escalated, turning into a tragic stampede that claimed 10 lives. The incident trigerred reportedly after a railing inside the premise broke, and the crowd went out of control. The situation escalated quickly as many people were trapped and injured.

Authorities said the crowd began to swell early in the morning, and soon the premises became choked with devotees. The sudden surge near the sanctum led to panic and chaos, resulting in a stampede-like situation. Eyewitnesses described moments of horror and confusion as panic spread and people struggled to move to safety amid the crush of the crowd during the morning rituatl.

Police personnel rushed to the spot to bring the situation under control, while the injured were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.


What Led to The Incident?​


According to Andhra Home Minister Vangalapudi Anitha, the temple is located at an elevation on the first floor, and when the devotees were climbing, the railing broke off, resulting in the people standing at a corner falling off and others dropping on them.
Observing that Kasibugga Venkateswara temple is a private one and not under the Endowments Department, Anitha said it is common to see 1,500 to 2,000 devotees turn up here every Saturday.
Further, she noted that the auspicious occasion of Ekadasi coinciding with 'Karthika Masam' on a Saturday aggravated the tragedy as multitudes thronged the temple.

Temple Wasn't Fully Constructed, Railings Collapsed​

Sources in the government told Times Now that the temple was opened only four months, and the construction is still not fully completed. Since the entry and exit routes were the same, and the steel railings that were set up collapsed, people rushed in all at once, leading to a stampede.

Andhra CMO Reacts​


In a statement on X, formerly Twitter, Andhra Pradesh CMO said, “A stampede took place at the Venkateswara Swamy temple in Kasibugga, Srikakulam district, leaving several people injured. The incident occurred as a large crowd gathered at the temple on the occasion of Ekadashi. The heavy rush of devotees led to overcrowding, resulting in a sudden stampede. The injured were immediately shifted to nearby hospitals for treatment. Police rushed to the spot.”



(Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has expressed shock over the stampede incident that took place at the Kasibugga Venkateswara Temple in Srikakulam district. He said that it is extremely sad that devotees who had come to have darshan of the deity died in this manner. He expressed his deepest condolences to the families of the deceased. He ordered the authorities to provide better treatment to the injured.)


Meanwhile, rescue operations are underway to ensure public safety.

Are dharmic religions confined only to the Indian subcontinent?
Dharmic religions evolved in India. Dharma along with the idea of Karma(Duty) form the basis for all Dharmic cults in India. Do your duty but remember the Karma(consequences) follows how well one follows Dharma.
Many have come and set their own path and explained it with their own twist. But the basic idea is the same. Some explained the concept with theistic angle(Vedic religion, Sikhism). Some with atheistic angle (Jainism, Buddhism).

Stampedes are a common occurrence in India. Organizers have no idea how many people will show up. Sometimes they become deathtrap.

Then what business does Hindu religion have in Indian politics? Why do you support the BJP and hindutva movements in general?

The business is to guide them to self realization. The true inner nature. The consciousness that is part of the universe.

Right now the true self of the human is covered by various layers of Jelosy, selfishness, greed, cowardice, procrastination, over indulgence, lust, anger, miserliness, ego, pride, violence etc.

The above things can be overcome by transforming them through spiritual practices like selfless action (Karma Yoga), meditation, mindfulness, and devotion (Bhakti Yoga), redirecting energy from material pursuits to spiritual goals, and understanding their root in the mind's attachments to achieve self-mastery and liberation.

Many great minds have come and set the path for liberation of the soul from all the things mentioned above. Shiva, Krishna, Rama, Buddha, Mahavira, Guru Nanak etc have come and set their own unique path. It’s like a buffet and one can pick and choose what suits them.

Dharmic religion is all about transformation of humans from inwards. This is opposite to Abrahamic religions which preach that evil is an entity and it is constantly trying to lead you astray.

so you force everyone to believe in hinduism - considering all the video and articles we posted - are about this.


and the christmas videos to stop christians celebrating thr day - doesnt match to what you wrote.



a complete contradiction

So that's a huge coincidence. Your guide to self realisation is based on Hindu religion despite you being an atheist. Now you are trying to claim Buddhism as part of Hindu religion but if that was the case, why did they need to create a new faith?

Same goes for Sikhism which you also claim as dharmic religion.

Sanatan Dharma is not merely one religion among many but the civilizational soul of the Indian subcontinent. The term literally means “eternal law” or “timeless order” and refers to a living continuum of spiritual, ethical and philosophical traditions that developed organically over millennia rather than through a single revelation or prophet.


Dharmic religions - Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism etc arose from this shared cultural and metaphysical ecosystem. Archaeological and textual evidence places early Vedic culture around 1500–1200 BCE, with philosophical consolidation in the Upanishadic period (c. 800–300 BCE). Jainism and Buddhism emerged as reformist and renunciatory movements in the 6th century BCE through Mahavira and Gautama Buddha respectively, engaging deeply with existing Dharmic concepts like karma, rebirth and liberation. Sikhism later arose in the 15th century CE through Guru Nanak, drawing from Bhakti traditions while engaging with Islamic monotheism in a Dharmic cultural setting.

What distinguishes Dharmic traditions from Abrahamic faiths is not moral superiority but structural orientation. Dharmic systems emphasize cyclical time, multiple valid paths to truth, experiential realization and philosophical pluralism. Abrahamic traditions generally emphasize linear history, exclusive revelation and covenantal theology.

Sanatan Dharma’s strength lies in its absorptive capacity. Rather than erasing difference, it historically accommodated diversity of gods, philosophies, rituals and social forms allowing continuity without uniformity. This is why many Sanatanis view it not as a closed religion but as a civilizational framework that shaped India’s languages, arts, sciences, festivals and social life for over three thousand years.
 
The whole concept of "dharmic" religion has taken off in the last 15 year or so. I get the feeling this is now being popularized to unite all the non abrahamic practioners in India against the Muslims and Christians from a political angle. The politics of religion is thriving. When I was growing up, there was never a mention of lumping Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, etc with Hinduism. Now thats all they talk about.
 
There used to be a lot of song and dance in India about national unity and the the practitioners of four major faiths (Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Christians in India) were portrayed as the same and brothers in arms. Quite frankly, as Pakistanis we used to watch this and admire the sense of national unity.

These days its all about emphasizing the massive difference between the faiths native to the land and the so called "invaders", its all very divisive. All that talk of unity from the 70s, 80s and 90s is now long gone.

The only reason the hindutvas like @Champ_Pal are now swinging behind dharmic religon is because they lost faith in Hinduism after Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism rejected Hindu faith and started new ones.

In order to try and cling on and claim some of the shine, they rebranded these new faiths as different forms of Hindu religion. Which is of course nonsense, because if Hinduism was all-encompassing, then why would you need new faiths in the first place?
 
It’s a tradition in a village in Karnataka where they throw cattle dung on each other.


You should ask the villagers why they do that.

Pretty much… similar to “JudeoChristian” which is a common phrase certain evangelicals and Zionists use to force some sort of brotherhood but it doesn’t make sense because it’s an oxymoron… the core of both faiths contradict each other and cancel each other out entirely lol. For eg Jews cooked up all sorts of awful lies to try and attack Maryam and Isa (Peace be upon them)… while Christians go to the other extreme and worship them.

It’s all tricks and smoke and mirrors to politicize religion as you said.

In order to try and cling on and claim some of the shine, they rebranded these new faiths as different forms of Hindu religion. Which is of course nonsense, because if Hinduism was all-encompassing, then why would you need new faiths in the first place?
On ine had you post a thread trying to gain a new perspective in dharmic religions and then after a few posts, you take potshots at Hinduism.

Dude, you had nothing to say about Dharmic religions as your knowledge is total zero. But you are good at trolling. :mv

These guys are lethal. Many Hindus have come on their channel and got schooled on their own religion. I blame hindutva activists for stirring the hornets nest. Muslims would normally take little interest in Hindu books, but because the hindutvas have come after Islam, now these guys are showing them their aukat.
