A solution to conflict of religions...
It is not by revival of religion or religious spirit that the conflicts of religions can be resolved. The solution lies in transcending the outer forms of religion and insisting on the purity of spiritual experience.

The followers of Hindu or Sanatana dharma must re-awaken them into the spirit of Sanatana dharma. Merely following the external forms of worship and rituals and building temples after temples will in no way save this Dharma.

The last effort of the Asuric forces in keeping the people away from Truth and Light is to resort to the domain of spirituality, religion etc. That is why there is an increasing number of pseudo gurus now a days. Spiritually such gurus will have an unfortunate end for sure.

Sanskrit is full of a natural flow
and the most systematic language capable pf generating a creative impact on the learners. Learning Sanskrit from an early age would therefore instill in the children a sense of systematic or scientific inquiry or a positive curiosity.

Sanskrit, essentially, has a powerful vibration against the negative emotions. Using much of this language consciously in daily life helps developing positive energy.

Only a conscious use of Sanskrit can bring the change...using the language with an a of growing inwardly can yield much result...
Sanskrit, being a Mantric language, has the power to uplift and illumine and enlighten. It has a great power to elevate human consciousness to greater heights. It is through this power that Sanskrit can help most resolving many contemporary problems that the humanity faces.

"It is of utmost value to a nation, a human group-soul, to preserve its language and to make of it a strong and living cultural instrument. A nation, race or people which loses its language cannot live its whole life or its real life." - Sri Aurobindo

The Gita is perhaps one of the most profound texts on Indian spirituality which provides sufficient guidelines for finding solutions to almost all practical problems of human life. The teachings of the Gita, when put into practice, can liberate humanity from all its suffering.

I paraphrase Sri Aurobindo, “He who dithers when called upon to slay, wrecks an incalculable havoc in the world”. The Universal Vision, Vishwarupa was given to Arjuna, the proud warrior rather than anyone else. Humility has its place and no more. Another view.

But it has been pointed out to me that both Vivekananda and Aurobindo were in favour of non-veg allegedly. How does that go with "Hinduness" by definition and practice? These two cannot change their food habits or views on food anymore or vote for BJP for shuddhi.

The Mother & Sri Aurobindo insist on seeking the Divine as the central principle but what we encounter in life is a web of relationships and group dynamics. All these find reflection in art and literature down the ages but don't point to any solution. Harmony however remains aim.
