Review - Digital Dharma

http:/www.hinduism.co.za
While many new web 2.0 sites are coming online, they often lack substance. Meanwhile, others like http:/www.hinduism.co.za are all about content. The site's lean design allows fast access to an incredible Hindu gold mine: "Understanding Hinduism." It is a simple model: a collection of excerpts from the writings of great saints like Swami Sivananda, the epics and Vedas, all organized under more than 200 in-depth pages. Links such as Hinduism-Brief Sketch, Founder of Hinduism, Vrat-Resolution, Marriage, Mind Power, Mantras, Sacred Fire, Cows Are Sacred, Guru, Silent Teachings, Caste System, Untouchables, Yuga and Dharma each take you into a mini-world of fascinating texts and additional links. The page on marriage alone is a treasure chest of information on this crucial life ceremony. Bookmark this site for future reading. It will take you months to peruse all the information. Thanks to the creators of this site for their meticulous attention to getting together so much content in one place, and so well organized!

Fantastic work on articles regarding Hinduism!!!

Hi,

I am Mutyala Rao from Bangalore,India. I am really fascinated by Hinduism.co.za. I am amazed with the huge, accurate information and statistics u collected about our traditions and Vedic Literature. I have ardent respect towards the traditions designed by our ancestors. I pity the situation now in India, birtch place of the Vedas, there is not much importance is not being given to them. I felt ashamed when i read about vedic mathematics in the site b'coz I dont even know that there is one science called Vedic Mathematics in Vedic Literature till then.

I bought book on Vedic Mathematics and reading. I was surprised by the techniques which were designed thousands of years ago to solve even very complex problems. I am surprised why we, Indians have ignored Vedas and failed in utilising knowledge hidden in them. Atleast now we should try to explore Vedas and apply them in various fields to achive development and prosperity. I would also like to appreciate the article u wrote on Kaaba. Hats off to the information you collected. I feel your site as a way for me to get some spiritual strength. I have also encouraged many of my friends to go thru hinduism.co.za. They were also impressed by the vast information and your intention to promote spiritual knowledge of Hinduism.

Thanks a Lot.

Hello Dears,
You must be congratulated a lot for creating and maintaining website where we hindus find a lot of our sanatan heritage.

Excellent Site for Information

I came to your site quite accidentally thro' one of the mass mailing of a friend of mine. (They normally send jokes and quotes about India and many times I ignore those mails).
I am glad that I did not skip this one.

It is an excellent website with so much of wealth of info for
everyone

I have worked at NASA and I am anastronomy buff. I enjoyed reading the article on Bell's Theorem and Vedantha and Quantum theory. I have bookmarked this site and would sure come back and read them.

I am not a very religious person per se; but has immense faith in our vedanta and the excellent foresight and knowledge of our ancestors.
Hence, these are the ones I would like to read and I found a place to do so. …Keep up the Good work and may God Bless you.
Thanks

I was really impressed by the details the site offers
and would really appreciate the efforts taken in making
this website so comprehensive.

It has the festival dates / their relevance and so many
other things you cannot find in a single website.

I liked the comparison to Christianity and the food charts.
Well it has all the stuff that my parents told me when I
was a kid about Hindusiam.

Finally I would really congratulate all of them involved
in this effort and its a very good site which is simple to
understand and interesting.

Superb site

Hello

We as an Indian are moving to western society thinking that western world are more civilized, advanced, scientific. I hope that your site would make us realize that we are much more advanced, civilized and would just restrict this migration.

Apart from this, the site provides an excellent information about Hinduism. It also makes us thinks that religion is no different from science
Good Job Done.....

3 cheers for all the team members

Dear Sir first of all I would like to thank you very much and I appreciate you because of your perfect web site. It is really perfect to understand Sanatana Dharma.

Sir, I am a Turkish Sanatani and I have made a Turkish web site about Sanatana Dharma. Sir I want to spread the message of Sanatana Dharma which is ancient, primordial spirituality. What I do is similar you did. Unfortunately there are many misunderstanding about it among the Turkish people and I have made this web site to destroy this wrong ideas that is to say I have no any aim for commerce, to make money. I need more knowledge to put in my web site for this reason I request from you to translate and put some articles of your web site in my web site. I hope that you will support me about this subject. Thank you.

Sincerely
Adiyan Dharmottara

P.S. This web site the only one broder Turkish web site about Sanatana Dharma. There is one more a Turkish web site but other Turkish sites are only about Yoga, Meditation etc. and their sources aren't reliable origin and they say wrong somethings about these practises for example some statements in these web site "There is no any connection Yoga and Sanatana Dharma or We aren't need any Guru because we are God". I want to give true knowledge about these subjects so I put Gurus', Swamis' and Pundits' statements or books in my web site.
My Web address : www.geocities.com/sanataist

I felt very nice seeing your website.The articles are exhaustive and informative.It makes my heart glow with pride to know the unsurpassed heights of the sanatana dharma.

An excellent website!

Gentlemen,

Congratulations on a brilliant website on Hinduism with its deep and rich contents. It would be a long journey for a Sadhaka to course through the knowledge you are disseminating and the ensuing vichara should certainly enlighten him/her and lead towardsself-realization.Since I feel that every Hindu should share what he/shehas studied, learnt and realised, kindly advise me ifthe contents of your Website can freely be distributedto my friends and other people around, in its own form, along with other similar contents like the freearticles and books in the Divine Life Society Website, in a compilation on what every Hindu should know about his/her own religion.

Sincerely,
G. Gurunathan

Help needed

Hello,
My name is Brad Green. I am a high school student in the 10th grade. In my history class we are studying the major religions. We have to complete a rather large report comparing and contrasting two religions. I have chosen Hinduism as one of my religions. It would be very appreciated if you could please send me some information on Hinduism.

Some criteria would be major symbols, images, major human and divine figures, practices and other information.
Like i said i would appreciate it so very much if you could send me some information on Hinduism.

Bradley Green
Thanks!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I was the high school student who you helped gather information on Hinduism for a religion portfolio. I told you that i would e-mail you when i received my grade. I would like to let you know that i got a 100% and bonus. He liked my portfolio so much, he is going to keep it as an example for other classes. I must thank you so much, and tell you that you are the biggest reason that i received that grade.
Thank you so much for your help. I'll see you around.
Bye!

Bradley Green

A word of appreciation

Hello
I actually wanted to find out more about Kanagi - Kovalan - famous hindu story and accidently landed onto your site
-http://www.hinduism.co.za/

At first I was reading through the stories, happily thinking that they were supposed to be told to children at bed-time but then found out gradually that those stories were actually for the soul.

Especially those about GOD and his principals, death, talk of ego and truth and much more.
I was so moved that I actually felt kind of guilty for being selfish.

What I'm trying to say is this: Whoever it was, whose bright idea to have a web-site like this should be formally applauded and commended. I can sense that a lot of work had been into these stories and the whole formation of the web page.

I am really thankful for the new knowledge that i have gained.
I have been to other 'Hinduism' sites and was never this affected before.

In a word I say - 'THANKS'.

I wish more deep insightful information could be found on the net. Keep up the good work.

Ending with love
Ms Meena

Hello,
I was amazed going thru your site and was wondering how come I did not find it for so many years.

You are doing a wonderful job of informing the world about such valuable knowledge that exists within our country and society for so many millennia and in a way and tone that is completely in tune with modern times.

May this site always keep growing and reach more and more people - eventually the whole mankind and through your efforts let the whole world one day brace Hinduism.

Namaste,
I have been trying to learn about Hinduism for a long time.
This website had been an invaluable source of information for me.I like the factual and non-judgmental way the information ispresented in your website.I especially like the Hindu-Islam analysis.

Sir, I have been raised as a Moslem, by sole virtue of being born to Moslem parents - though there had been no activities to that effect when I was growing up.It was later during my adolescent years that my parents adopted the identity of a 'true moslem' and in a way made it mandatory for us children to go along. And yet, being raise in the West Javan culture, the cultural values themselves were *very* much Hindu-based, as Hinduism was the way of life before Islam entered Java in the 16th century. So kinship system,taboos, etc were all based on Hindu values. We grew up hearing and reading the Mahabharata and Ramayana, and I was an avid learner of all these characters.The performances based on the two epics were part of everyday's live when I grew up.

I guess I spent years of my adult life trying to reconcile my cultural and spiritual identity. a non-typical moslem and a closet student Hinduism. I know I find more peace and contentment doing Japa five times a day in accordance to Islamic teachings. I knew something had been "wrong" all along, just did not know what it was, and how I could ever reconcile that.I know I feel peaceful and that I was protected, each time I do my morning Japa!If my father find out about this, he would probably disown me and curse me.

Your article about the Kaaba being a possible Hindu temple prior to being converted by Moslems had given me the peace of mind that I was looking for all my life. It is a great relief to hear that it is even 'possible' the Islamic teaching is also based on the previous prominent religion in the Arabian peninsula,that is Hinduism. Now I can look at the image of Kaaba and smile, and peacefully think that inside there could be the scripts quoting the Bhagavad Gita.Now I can appreciate the tradition of Hajj pilgrim, that my parents strive to perform as often as possible, knowing that Hindu teaching might be reflected there too!

In the end,thank you! I would like to continue learning about Hinduism and the Hindu ways of life,and of course continue practicing my meditation and morning japa- for a practical reason that it gives me peace.THANK YOU for being there!
And thank you for being objective, factual and non-judgmental.
Thank you for being fair to other religions! Your site and articles changed my life forever!

Hello,
I just wanted to say that this site is one of the most wonderful site i have ever seen.I am a student of electronics and computer science engineering in UK.I have a firm belief in the teachings of the Bhagwat Gita and Vedas. Infact, I have been trying gather as much knowledge as possible.I see that people are not aware of the teachings of these scriptures.The scriptures have to be explained to the common people as simply as possible and i find this site absoultely great !

I have personally tried to question my own batchmates,freinds and relatives and i have noticed one similar thing.No one has clear views about themselves or their aims.They just need a small amount of reasoning and they get to know what they have to do with their life.I tried explaining them as much i knew about life and thats it... they have changed.
I would like more people to get together and do something to share the knowledge with as much people as possible.

once again this site is great..!!
keep up the good job...

hello,
first, i would like to tell the people behind this site
that, this is the best thing i ever found on web. i
guess this is the best way to know us and our culture
taking account of days today.
now i am 21, but i still gaze at children and think,
"no,this was not i used to do when i was 8 or 9 yrs
old".
yes but they are different, more intellect too.. i
guess what we know ( a bit ) about us being a hindu,
is very important.
i might be very crude,but cant resist, after all we are
tolerating people on earth and we are dying.
i would like to know about "hindu fanatism"... is it
good or bad, should it be thr today or no....or just
tolerate... should we change??

thanks,
gunadnya
PS: search field to ur site will be helpful.

Awesome website!!!
It is my passion to read about Hinduism. I have visited
several websites, in the quest of knowledge, about the

Great website


Good afternoon!

This is to let you know how much I do appreciate your website.
As my best friend is an Indian, it really helps me to understand
him better, offering so many answers to so many 'practical' questions...

Thanks from Holland (Europe),
sincerely,

Your Site


A friend brought your site to my attention and having
scanned just for few minutes, I am convinced that it
has wealth of info.

I think it is unfortunate that this is not widely known
and brought to the attention of millions of Hindus and the
followers of the Vedic Philosophy.

Please do something to give a wide publicity so that at least
the new 2nd generation, being brought up in the west
understands the true Vedas and its principles.

I will certainly do my best to make as many people
aware of it.

Thank you

I tripped onto this website by mistake. But, I am impressed by its content. I will be sure to visit it almost every day to imbibe the teachings of Hinduism.
Just one question. I would like to know who or which organisation is
responsible for setting up this website? I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to them for taking this initiative in a time when spirituality and religion is not given the attention it deserves. I understand one may one to be modest and remain anonymous, but it is just for
my curiosity.

I really liked your site. While searching for an explanation for the term Panchakaranam, I came across your site. I found the article quite scholarly and complete. I am the owner of a discussion group advaitin

(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/advaitin) focusing on
discussing Shankara's advaita philosophy. We have over 600 members in the mailing list. One of the members had a question on Panchakaranam and I have provided the explanation

from this site with appropriate reference. I have also made a request to the members asking them to visit your site and learn more on Hinduism. Warmest regards,

Dear Sir or Madam,

I work at the Centre for Study of Forgiveness and Reconciliation at Coventry University UK. I am currently writing a short article on the concept of forgiveness in the Hindu tradition. I have found your website very useful, and in fact would like to quote extracts from the passages of Mahabharata that you have cited. Perhaps I will find other
passages also. Could you tell me if you have a policy for
citations?

My writing is for academic purposes and has minimal
commercial value. I should say thank you for your excellent
website. I was referred to it by the Swami Brahmeshananda, whom I interviewed in the course of my research.

With kind regards, Alan Hunter UK

Just a short note to say many thanks. Your site has brought a new meaning of Hinduism to my extended family. Our forefathers went to Fiji in mid eighteenth century under the indentured labour system from India yet we have maintained our culture and religious belief throughout.

We believe your site is most comprehensive, explanatory and explicit. Please keep up with the good work.

Respected fellow-Sanatani,

After a long time I visited your web page
http://www.hinduism.co.za this morning. I would be much
indebted if you could send me (through e-mail?) a transcript of the original text of the article on page ‘Women’ on your web site, which is mentioned as "Translated from an Indian manuscript discovered in Tibet, written by an ancient Brahmin".
It is so touching but almost appears a utopian dream these days.

I can not sufficiently express my appreciation for the work you have done and the way in which you uncompromisingly adhere to the *original* parampara in compiling the information, specifically on sensitive topics. Indeed Bhagavan is with us -
though we may face so many difficulties, the Veda Vakya does not go astray - satyam eva jayate naanrutam.

It is by His strength that we are strong - may He take us ahead on the path He has planned.

Your fellow-Sanatani

Hi,

I just read the page "Hinduism-Brief Sketch" ... I have never really studied Hinduism, just have had a couple of friends in my past that were from India and talked to them a little, but even before I spoke to them I had firm ideas about things.
The amazing thing is, they are identical.
Where can I learn more, is there a good book for English speaking Americans?

Thank you.

I have checked your webpage it is very interesting and worth spending time to read very useful material especially on Sri Ramana Maharishi.

Maharishi and is written by David Godman.

Thanks a lot,
