Sudarshanam - the debate begins…
Introduction
Sanathana Dharma is the divine science bestowed upon mankind for the welfare of the universe, by Sree Parameshwara through the Aarsha Guru Paramparas, by manifesting in a human form as Adinatha (Dakshinamoorthy), in the prehistoric age when humans began to exist.
This magnificent science is continuing to exist actively even today through the countless Aarsha Guru Paramparas like Atri, Anasuya, Atreya Durvasa, Dattatreya, Somatreya, Agastya Maharshi, Natha Siddha Yogis, Sri Sankara Gurudev, Sri Mahavatar Babaji, Sri Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteshwar Giri Maharaj, Sri Parmahansa Yogananda ji, Nikhileshwarananda Paramahansa ji etc.
Yugavatars like Badrinarayan, Sri Rama, and Sri Krishna came for the Samrakshana (protection) of this great and sacred Dharma!
It is this Aarsha Dharma that gave the world holy souls such as Sri Sankaracharya, Sri Ramakrishna Deva, Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharshi, Aravind Maharshi, Swami Rama, Dayananda Saraswathi, the Nayanar – Azhvar Siddhars of Tamil Nadu, Basaveshwara, Akka Mahadevi, Allamaprabhu, Annamacharyalu, Sant Jnaneshwar, Ayya Vaikunta Swami, Thycaud Ayya Siddha, Chattambi Swami, Sree Narayana Guru, Sadananda Swami, Vagbhatananda, Sivananda Paramahansa, Brahmananda Sivayogi, Agamananda Swami, Chinmayananda, and innumerous others!
A philosophy that contributed thousands of talents to the world – in the form of scientists, philosophers, artists, poets, writers, scholars, researchers, great souls, and brave sacrificers.
Even Gautham Siddhartha Buddha, Vardhaman Mahavir, and Gurunanak, the founders of Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism respectively, attained enlightenment through the Sadhana systems of the Sanathana Dharma Gurus!
The nation, culture, knowledge, values of life, achievements that are Bharat, are the gift of this Arya Dharma!
“Sanathana Dharma must reach every cottage and every palace” – proclaimed Swami Vivekananda.
“Sanathana Dharma is Nationalism” – Aravind Maharshi (Aurobindo) stated in his famous Uttarpara Speech.
“Those who want to convert must convert to Sanathana Dharma which considers all human beings as equal” – said Sree Narayana Guru in his last message at the SNDP conference at Pallathuruthy!
The Vaidik Dharma whose motto is “Krinwantho Vishwamaryam”
The Hindu Dharma that wished“Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavanthu”.
The Manava Dharma that taught us to pray “Sarve Bhavanthu Sukhinah, Sarve Santhu Niramayah, Sarve Bhadrani Pashyanthu, Ma Kaschith Dukha Bhagbhaveth” and live in such a way as to fulfill this goal through Karma Yoga.
When the history of the brave men who fought to uphold the values of Sanathana Dharma and fought against conservatism is right in front of our eyes, there are politicians who argue that Sanathana Dharma must be eradicated like Malaria, Dengue, Corona, or Leprosy! Politicians and a section of the media who find multiple ways to justify them are spreading evil propaganda. It is such circumstances, that Aacharya Sri KR Manoj ji, the Founder and Director of Aarsha Vidya Samajam, is initiating a series of articles despite his hectic schedule. You are requested to read every article carefully. We welcome your comments, doubts, and questions. All criticism and disagreement in decorous language will be responded to.
Hope this becomes a healthy discussion!

(The term Sudharshanam means good vision, the truth that is proven through a scientific thought process that is devoid of defective reasoning! Mission Sudarshanam is aimed to be a brave fight against all kinds of brainwashing forces that fabricate and propagate lies! It is a weapon of the Dharmic forces!)
