Jai shree ram! To lie or not to lie?

So this idea of a mosque, of a temple being built on the site where there was a mosque, where there was the birthplace of this Lord Rama, who they believe is the personification of God at one point in history where there is no proof of him ever having even existed, let alone being born. And now you want me to say J Sri Ram to that?

Is it more repsectful to lie and say what people want you to say or be honest and stick to your principles.

And we have to make progress. And definitely we are in unity. There may be different languages, different religions, different customs, but still we are one. The same love, respect we have for everyone, for everything. We believe in nature, we respect nature and we go ahead and this transfers from generation to generation. All are equal. All are one. And this is the country India. Respect for everyone, equality for everyone

So just know Hinduism is not religion. If we go back, it's Sanatana dharma. Sanatana means all inclusive and devoid of time. Hence, sanathana is ananth, which is eternal, where adi means beginning and antam means an end. So anant means that which has no beginning or ends. What dharma, which is inherent in all, irrespective of time or place, is Sanatana dharma. And dharma originates from the root concept of rata, which refers to the natural flow or the natural phenomena

Hence people started using the title hindu dharma. But meaning of dharma will keep evolving the discussions and it should evolve during or exploration of life. Various great individuals in the past have explored dharma and their entire lives under the guidance of gurus, which are Maharishis and Rishis, through the examination of Sashatra, and by making efforts to implement in one's life dharma. So this attempt in life to explore and understand the dharma is called dharma Sadhana

And that's because, as I said, I'm an atheist. I go by logic, I go by knowledge. I. E. Science. Some people call it western science, but there's no such thing as western science. Science is. Science is science, which is added to and researched by scientists all around the world. Science is science. So I go by what is proven, and sometimes even science can confuse me

So when I was growing up and when I used to look up at stars and think what's beyond that? What I'm doing here, what exactly this is going on? And there are so many questions and I did not like to read back then. And I always used to think that probably the reality starts after death. That's where you get to know the real truth. That's what it is. And this is me, the poetic sort of a person that is

So I think you must be aware about the cultural diversity, the religious diversity, the regional diversity, the gender diversity and so many other diversities exist in our country. So when you said Rama is a mythology in mythology or is it something not proved? So my dear friend, please, if you, in case you will connect with me personally on my email or WhatsApp, I can help you to get that clarity

If you are in India, I think you must be aware about the Vedas and the Upanishads and puranas. Nothing is being said without logic. And yes, sometimes you can see them. Oh, this is in the form of stories, sometimes this is in the form of some other ways, but everything is logical. So science is the essence of Sanatana dharma. So it's not a one book followers kind of a thing where you have to follow the book and then you have to follow one God
