Just saw a post by a fellow classmate saying look at a Russian woman priest blessing a Hindu in Moscow. Sanatan Dharma equals all.
It's a good thought no doubt. But, do we allow non-hindu to enter our temple premises inside India? We don't, that is reason Jagannath comes out of his temple to bless all. What are we trying to suggest here? Our mindset is still the same... divided based on religion, caste, creed and nevertheless gender.
But, we want to prove to our own people by looking at western people that see our Dharma is not divided, it equals all. If so then can those upper caste priests agree that let's open all our temples to western people?
If still our mindset can't change because it is our so called tradition then there is absolutely no reason why we need to circulate such posts in social media showing and boasting that we don't differentiate?? It's our mindset (India's own mindset) that needs to rise above these posts based on political stand point and propagandas, if we can't change it. Why we are trying to justify it by showing western people? Did they lack God? No they are those people who have their own gods as per their beliefs but their MINDSET is much above us and they accept all so they could choose Hinduism. They didn't feel like their religion will come to cease if they change it.
We should learn from them not the vice versa.
