Hindus may have DEVs and DEVis but Muslims and Christians got their Muhammed and Christ. These are no different from worshiping idols
>>>>>>>>>>>> Very different from worshiping idols. Muhammad (PBUH) is known as a "Messenger of God". NEVER as "God"!!
Jesus Christ on the other hand is recognized as an important messenger of God to Muslims and "God" to many Christians.
What would you call the black meteorite of Kabba?
>>>>>>>> A small house which helps us in finding direction to pray. NO Muslim EVER worships the "Kabba". The stone was set by our spiritual father Abraham and people kiss it to show our love to our spiritual forefathers. NOTHING more than that.
Shalom!

The same is true with Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
There are very few people that are truly spiritual. Hindus may have DEVs and DEVis but Muslims and Christians got their Muhammed and Christ. These are no different from worshiping idols. What would you call the black meteorite of Kabba?

The Center for the Study
of Dharma and Civilization
http://www.dharmaci vilization. com
After more than a decade of discussions, planning and organizing, the very first credible and professionally led Hindu think tank in America has now been formally established to serve the Hindu community.
The Center for the Study of Dharma and Civilization (CSDC) is the very first academic think tank of the Sanatana Dharma tradition ever created in American history. Established by Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya in May of 2012, the CSDC brings together several of the most prominent Hindu scholars in America with the singular purpose of academically affirming the preeminence of the philosophy, practice and culture of Sanatana Dharma in the intellectual realm.
The Board of Advisors for this first ever Hindu think tank includes:
Dr. David Frawley, Professor Subhash Kak, Professor Ramdas Lamb, Professor Ramesh Rao, Professor Parmender Mehta, and Professor Daniel Wilkins.
Our goal is to reveal to the world the unique Vedic perspective on all of the most important philosophical, social, religious, political and cultural issues of the day. We will offer comparative analyses of the Dharma world-view versus every other world-view of prominence in the 21st century, thus establishing Sanatana Dharma as the philosophical system par excellence designed to solve the many crises and confusions that our world is facing today.
Seeking Paper Submissions
We are seeking papers to publish on our website, and that may eventually be published in printed form.
We are exclusively interested in papers that firmly contrast any civilizational aspect of Sanatana Dharma with any juxtaposing aspect of a non-Dharmic belief system, theological stance, philosophy, ideology, or idea. The goal of your paper must be to demonstratively establish the preeminence of Sanatana Dharma over the non-Dharmic philosophical proposition you are comparing it to. We are not interested in purely historical, hagiographical, philological, or needlessly abstract papers – but only papers that directly interface Sanatana Dharma with modernity in a polemically engaged manner.
You can submit papers online at: http://dharmacivilization.com/submissions/
We Need Your Help
The CSDC is currently operating on a limited budget. We will need further funding for larger office space rental, internet development and maintenance, possible fellowships for scholars who we would want to employ full-time, development of multimedia production capacity, etc. If you would like to donate to this important cause, please do so by visiting: http://dharmacivilization.com/donate/

"SanatonDharma, as it exists today, is 80% idolatry and 20% spiritual. Could this trend be reversed through mass education?"
What made you feel that idolaters can't be spiritual? Besides those religions claiming to have nothing to do with idolatry speaks about God's hands, mouth along with other limbs and above all voice. Aren't the followers of those religions idolaters too?

Mr. Sudhir Kumar,
I am glad that this center wants to promote open-minded intellectual deliberations about SanatanDharma. I have a proposal to all intellectuals in this center, and that is – how about promoting 'Formless-worshipping (Nirakar Upashana)' to revive the spiritual understanding of the essence of religion through yoga, meditation, etc., since SanatonDharma has a provision for that already, and does not require idolatry for religious purposes. Idolatry is merely a ritualistic act to commemorate a particular memorable scriptural event, and as such - it is much more a cultural festivity than a religious act. Idolatry breeds superstitions and prejudices; it divides community into sects and castes. It should be separated from the core religion ASAP. In my view, SanatonDharma, as it exists today, is 80% idolatry and 20% spiritual. Could this trend be reversed through mass education?
Thank you so much.
