What is your worldview based on?

What is your worldview?

2018-09-13 23:03:00 UTC  

It is called Dharma, it is the first organized religion on this planet. It originates in what is now called India, but then was populated with Indo-Europeans, who later spread and founded Europe.

2018-09-13 23:03:23 UTC  

We believe in one God, in a trinity of sorts.

2018-09-13 23:03:40 UTC  

It's actually similar to traditional Christianity in many ways, but also different in that we offer a lot more metaphysical understanding.

2018-09-13 23:03:45 UTC  

And more philosophical takes on things.

2018-09-13 23:04:00 UTC  

What is your holy scripture?

2018-09-13 23:04:27 UTC  

There's many. It would take your entire life to read it all. Mostly though Rig Veda, Bhavishya Purana, Bhagavad Gita etc.

2018-09-13 23:04:34 UTC  

Bhagavad Gita is prob the most relevant to this age

2018-09-13 23:04:55 UTC  

Who wrote them?

2018-09-13 23:05:34 UTC  

various masters and Brahmin caste priests who have passed down these teachings in much the same way that semitic scripture was, initially through memory and verbal repeating, then was written down

2018-09-13 23:06:04 UTC  

Were they all knowledgeable?

2018-09-13 23:06:50 UTC  

Yes, the texts are very rigorous too. Often introducing topics which you might learn in a graduate philosophy course in university now.

2018-09-13 23:06:59 UTC  

We however don't seek to convert people

2018-09-13 23:07:11 UTC  

because we don't believe in a linear conception of life, we believe in reincarnation

2018-09-13 23:07:18 UTC  

Was the yes to that the Brahmins were all knowledgeable?

2018-09-13 23:07:36 UTC  

certainly some could make mistakes, but the scriptures are passed down from divinity

2018-09-13 23:07:59 UTC  

Surya a deva (something like the western angel) passed this down to the first man (literally called Manush).

2018-09-13 23:08:09 UTC  

The etymology of the word man basically comes from the sanskrit Manush.

2018-09-13 23:08:22 UTC  

And all European language stems from ancient Vedic sanskrit.

2018-09-13 23:08:40 UTC  

I have heard that myth.

2018-09-13 23:08:45 UTC  

Before.

2018-09-13 23:08:45 UTC  

it's not a myth

2018-09-13 23:08:50 UTC  

But that is a tanget.

2018-09-13 23:09:06 UTC  

When were these books written?

2018-09-13 23:09:23 UTC  

Exactly.

2018-09-13 23:09:39 UTC  

the estimates vary from 1500-6000 years ago, depending on whether you take sculptures in temples as writings as well

2018-09-13 23:09:42 UTC  

bc

2018-09-13 23:10:00 UTC  

the earliest I think was written right around when Christ was around

2018-09-13 23:10:12 UTC  

there are actually Dharmic writings being written today too, but it's mostly commentary

2018-09-13 23:10:14 UTC  

Give me the date of the holy scriptures from which you extrapolate your morals for example. When were they written?

2018-09-13 23:10:15 UTC  

on the old scripture

2018-09-13 23:10:54 UTC  

@Richard Rock Rig Veda has a lot of duties. Basically monogamy, anti homosexuality, anti adultery, anti pederasty, pro large family building, anti mixing races and blood etc.

2018-09-13 23:11:13 UTC  

Okay, who exactly wrote it, when and where?

2018-09-13 23:11:36 UTC  

many many people, you can google the succession of Brahmin masters and gurus

2018-09-13 23:12:04 UTC  

Were they all deemed to be all-knowledgeable?

2018-09-13 23:12:09 UTC  

the most recent translation of the Bhagavad Gita in its authentic form was done by the last traditional Guru I know of Prabhupada

2018-09-13 23:12:28 UTC  

not all knowledgeable, but the scriptures had passed down from Surya, and other devas

2018-09-13 23:12:34 UTC  

a deva is basically an angel of God

2018-09-13 23:12:35 UTC  

a servant
