Hinduism / Hindu Religion

The tradition of philosophical thought in India is very

rich, ancient and wise. Hinduism is the worlds oldest
religion. The word 'Hindu' is thought to have derived
from the 'Sindu (Indus) River' which is known as Hindu
in Persian. The word was used to describe 'those who
dwell across the Indus Valley'. Hindu religion is often
named as Sanatana Dharma in all of its books.

The first collection of Indian philosophy that was written down was
the Vedas. The word 'Veda' comes from the Sanskrit vid, meaning
knowledge - the Vedas are 'sacred knowledge'. Their exact date is
controversial, it is possible that the knowledge dates back 10,000
years BC, and were first written around 3,000 BC.

The most significant doctrine expressed in the Vedas and the

Upanishads (the first philosophical explorations of Hinduism) is that
Reality is One or Absolute, changeless, perfect and eternal, Brahman.
The ordinary human world of many separate and discrete (finite)
things (which our mind represents by our senses) is an illusion.
Through meditation, one can experience their true Self which is
Brahman, God, the One infinite eternal thing which causes and
connects the many things. True enlightenment is Self-realisation, to
experience the supreme reality as Self.

Western Physics (with its discrete 'particles' connected by continuous

'forces / fields' in 'Space Time' ) has never correctly understood the
Eastern world view of the dynamic unity of reality. It is also important
to understand that the ancient Indian philosophers did not actually
know how the universe was a dynamic unity, what matter was, how
the One Thing / Brahman caused and connected the many things.
Thus Eastern / Hindu philosophical knowledge is ultimately founded
on mysticism and intuition.

Recent discoveries on the properties of Space and the Wave Structure

of Matter confirm that we can understand Reality and the
interconnection of all things in the universe. The One Thing /
Brahman (Space) has Properties (Wave-Medium) that give rise to the
many things (Matter as the Spherical Wave Motions of Space). Please
