Hinduism In Plurality Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Hinduism In Plurality



The Hinduism has no boundaries,
No founder and no single scripture.
It consists of collective wisdom
Gathered from many centuries.

The Hinduism incorporates all forms
Of beliefs without mandating
Any particular belief
Nor eliminating other beliefs.

The Hinduism is an eclectic one
Representing a variety
Of gods, dogmas, metaphysics
And faiths handed down over years.

The Hinduism is not the Vedic
Alone and go beyond the Vedic.
The shaivam and the Vaisnavam
Stand out, though within the Vedic.

The Jainism and the Buddhism
Are only the off shoots of the Hinduism.
God Jagannath, a tribal god
Is as good as any Hindu gods.

The Hinduism cannot be narrowed down
By the brutal majority of a sect.
It thrives for its plurality.
Blasphemy is beyond its scope.
