Worship of the monotheistic formless Brahm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 2. God-realisation through Nishkam Sewa (selfless service). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 3. Social equality and brotherhood (vasudhaiva kutumbakam). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 4. Self-realisation through Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 5. Salvation through worldly life of Purushaarth (Dharm, Arth, Kaam, Moksha). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 'EK Samaj' repudiates the following attributes as excrescences and repugnant to the faith: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 1. Mixing philosophy and religion made Hinduism an unorganised religion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 2. Worshipping numerous deities and limiting religious service to mere darshan of the idols fragmented Hinduism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 3. Hereditary priesthood, as permanent intermediaries for communion with God, polluted the religion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 4. Occupational 'purity' and 'pollution' camouflaged iniquitous social divisions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 5. Individual instead of congregational worship smothered Hindu brotherhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 6. Pretensions of attaining Siddhis through 'meditation and penances' eulogised. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 7. Escapism in worldly renunciation honoured. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 8. Fatalist karma theory made Hindus pessimistic and other-worldly. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 9. Transmigration, reincarnation, 84-lakh births used as props for gradation of castes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 10. Acceptance of Ahimsa made Hindus a doormat for the ruthless barbarians. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 11. Karma kand and Mantra, Tantra, Yantra etc. justified as the sole religious expressions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 12. Lack of proselytisation prevented Hinduism from becoming a world religion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 13. Devdasi tradition made temples the venues of entertainment and recreation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Satya Shri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1946515558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946515551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Notion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.82d","brand":"Satya Shri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983959097599,"sku":"9781946515551","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4366f190-7dad-4a9c-af8f-dc608ba8a758.jpg?v=1683269711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/demystifying-brahminism-and-re-inventing-hinduism-satya-shri-9781946515551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
