The expression of belief in Sanatan or Hindu culture and Gods is becoming more common among people from all walks of life. However, this sends a powerful signal to opponents of Sanatan Dharma, who therefore regard such individuals as enemies of their idealogy. Last year, ISRO chairman and scientists visited temples to perform rituals, and the ISRO chairman openly encouraged for the importance of temple visits. Chandrachud ji, the Chief Justice of India, is a recent example of showing faith in God. What he said about Ram Mandir, “I sat before the deity and told him he needs to find a solution,” He emphasized his belief in faith, adding, “Believe me, if you have faith, God will always find a way.”
However, entrenched interests, both deliberately and unknowingly, are generally not interested in the overall or ultimate perspective of human minds, notably in Sanatan Dharma, as discovered by our ancient seers. However, many internationally recognized scientists and philosophers regard Sanatan Dharma’s enormous knowledge as well as actions, practices as scientific, particularly in respect to humankind and environmental protection. However, haters of Sanatan Dharma, including numerous Communists, Marxists, Missionaries, Islamic preachers, and politicians, disseminate false myths about it.
See how Marxist and communist target Sanatan Dharma
The Indian Marxists believed that Islam was a ‘progressive’ religion whose ‘tenets promoted equality between the rich and the poor’ and other fictions. On the other hand, Sanatan Dharm had been swayed by its belief in ‘idol worship’ and ‘the evils that resulted from it.’ It is beyond comprehension how R.S. Sharma and all Marxists regard Hindu idolatry as a self-evident evil while seeing no evil in the Islamic sanction of slave trade, Halala, Triple Talaq, polygamy, and other barbaric Shariat laws, the inbuilt hatred for the ‘Kufr’, which is nothing more than a declared intolerance for other religionists, and the integral role of violence and politics in Islamic practices. However, our Marxist historians regard all of these as progressive tenets. R.S. Sharma’s Communal History and Rama’s Ayodhya not only include anti-Hindu sentiments, but also demonstrate a studied habit of displaying a pleasant attitude toward Islam, which Communists all over the world have acquired since the beginning of the Cold War. As we can see now, this has become a permanent Marxist habit over time.
Bharatiya Customs have Scientific base
Traditions in Sanatan Dharma were formerly thought to be superstitions, but with the introduction of science, it is becoming clear that these traditions are founded on scientific knowledge and have been passed down through centuries as traditions. Though the general people did not know science in it, they followed it quite faithfully over time. Sanatan Dharm does not use force to convert its “Seekers”. It is the Seekers who convert themselves, either partially or completely, because Sanatan Dharm allows them to worship whichever God they want while also allowing them to continue to practice their original religion, whether it be Christianity, Islam, or any other. There is no 100 per cent cut-off or bar in following any religion, even after converting to Sanatan Dharma.

NFL player Ricky Williams is a Hindu and vegetarian. He uses a Hindu-based pranic healing to recover from injuries
Musician Trevor Hall lives as a Hindu monk when he is not on tour. In 2013, he went on a journey to India.
“Army Wives” actress Kelli Williams converted to Hindu Dharm when she married her husband, Ajay Sahgal, in 1996.
British novelist Christopher Isherwood was a practicing Hindu.
Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist who oversaw the Manhattan Project, was influenced by the Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata, and Indian history. He learned Sanskrit and read the Bhagavad Gita in its original language. Two days before the first atomic bomb was exploded, Oppenheimer read a stanza from the Bhagavad Gita.
Niels Henrik David Bohr is another Nobel Peace prize winner in the list. The Danish physicist is known for his tremendous contribution in atomic structure and quantum theory. In Stephen Prothero’s book God Is Not One (pg. 144), Niel Bohr has quoted:
“I go into the Upanishads to ask questions.”
American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist and philosopher, Carl Sagan’s contributions to cosmology and modern space science are unprecedented. He was a devout Hindu and has been seen quoting:
“The Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s main faiths dedicated to the belief that the Cosmos itself experiences an enormous, even intrinsic, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales match those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles range from our usual day and night to Brahma’s day and night, which last 8.64 billion years. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun, and approximately half the period since the Big Bang. And there are much longer time scales yet.” [Carl Sagan, Cosmos].
Nikola Tesla is widely regarded as the greatest scientist of all time, and his inventions have made significant contributions to humanity; he was a pioneer in numerous fields. The Serbian-American scientist and engineer is well renowned in his area, which includes Tesla coils, radio, alternate current, and telephones. However, he has been seen citing Vedantic concepts:
“All perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the Akasha or aluminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in neverending cycles, all things and phenomena.” [Man’s Greatest Achievement, John J. O’Neal., & Prodigal Genius, The Life of Nikola Tesla, 1944]
Frtjof Capra’s Uncommon Wisdom: Conversations With Remarkable People (1988) describes a conversation between Rabindranath Tagore and Werner Heisenberg: “He began to see that the recognition of relativity, interconnectedness, and impermanence as fundamental aspects of physical reality, which had been so difficult for himself and his fellow physicists, was the very basis of Indian spiritual traditions.”
Werner Heisenberg:
“Quantum Theory will not look ridiculous to people who have read Vedanta.”
“After the conversations about Indian philosophy, some of the ideas of Quantum Physics that seemed so crazy, suddenly made more sense.”
Stalin, Rahul Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, and other opposition figures who directly or indirectly target Sanatan Dharma should learn about these facts from celebrities and scientists. Sanatan stands for universal peace and cooperation, not hostile religious conversion and selfishness.
