Religion By Its Metaphysics Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Hinduism is a reflective religion,
Not a prescriptive, which is others,
Without a holy book or a messenger,
But with thoughts gathered over centuries.

Not patriarchal, not misogynistic,
Not hierarchal is it in its base value.
Atma jnan - the self awareness, i.e.
Overcoming of animal spirits is the core.

The Mythology is an appendage;
The epics and Puranas are the off shoots.
A religion is valued from its metaphysics.
To mock a religion mustn't be a fashion.
