Chennai: Observing that Hinduism was going through troubled times at present, Chief Election Commissioner T S Krishnamurthy called for "proper understanding of the great religion, which neither has a beginning nor an end."
Speaking at a function in Chennai to celebrate the 87th birthday of Sri Abhinava Vidyatheertha Mahaswamigal, the 35th Sankaracharya of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham, he said there was poor understanding of the religion in recent times.
In an apparent reference to the arrest of Kanchi Sankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati in a murder case, he said, "at a time when we are going through difficult moments, it is necessary to realise the importance of Hinduism."
Regretting that there were lots of myths and misconceptions about Hinduism, despite its rich heritage and literature, Krishnamurthy stressed the need for highlighting the scientific nature of Hinduism.
Unlike other religions, Hinduism had no human author and it was evolved over a period of time as a result of divine experiences of great spiritual exponents, he observed.
The CEC said the scientific nature of Hinduism should be appreciated, understood and acclaimed by the world.

What is exactly wrong with these morons, except for the fact that they are morons? When will they ever understand religion is a personal thing and spirituality has nothing do with priests and God-men. How can arrest or even conviction of Aacharya be a bad time for Hinduism. Is a religion older than 4000 years old can be considered troubled by an insignificant peck in its timeless history? The greatness of this religion lies in its freedom which is not guaranteed in any other religion in this world and definitely not in its so-called leaders. This religion will be here no matter what happens and I am gladly NOT saying "it will survive", because it need not live by preaching or fear, but its lives in the very life of its people.
