Swamin(i)s,

Some of the disciussions in this line. especially the latest one with all bold 
letters,
clearly shows how successfully we have taken a global-universal sanathana 
dharma and pushed it into a gully. No wonder, we are so gullible!
Contrast this with Christianity and Islam- how they have taken a gully religion
(confined to a narrow strip of Earth) and globalized it.
I think we need to go back to basics of sanathana dharma, because, our great 
religion has been hijacked by centuries of tradition, sometimes, even at the 
cost of truth.
Remember TRUTH is ever eternal and universal, TRADITIONS, more often  are 
temporal and regional. This is not meant to insult  anyone, but only meant to 
make us introspect and intrepret in the light of TRUTH and not simply tradition.
While we enjoy the outpourings of our achAryas, Alwars, and other peripheral 
scriptures
(out side of prasthAna trayams), let us not do disservice to them by limiting 
them to narrow boundaries. 

Let me state, these are the  pillars of Sanathana Dharma- although we all know 
it, seems to me from the discussions going on that we need to be reminded:
1. Truth is one, wise speak of it variously
(Ekam sat viprAh bahudA vadanti)
2. Let noble thought come to us from all over the world
(a nO bhadrAh kratavO yantu vishvatah)
3. One who knows that he/she is blessed, will indeed receive the blessing
(yOpAm Ayathanam vEda AyatanavAn bhavati)
4. World is one family
(vasudhaiva kuTumbhakam)
5. IshAvAsyam idam sarvam
yatkinchit jagatyAm jagat
tEna tyaktEna bhujjItA
mA gRedhah kasyasviddanam
(The whole universe comprising of the  animate and inaminate
is permeated by the Lord. Relish your share with detachment
or relish share that has been alloted to you.
Don't envy others wealth.

Please go back and read bhagavadgItA
(kim anyaih shAstra vistharaih-  what other shastras we need?).
We have been brain washed and pushed into some real gully thinking.
It is about time,  we akake and araise.
Because, we know better- even if we don't want to accept, in the name
of tradition. Let truth shine!

6. saptAsyAsan paridhayah
trissapta samidhah kRetAh

(Seven outer limits and seven innert limits of our life yagna:
Seven outer limits: Earth, water, fire, space, wind, day and night.
Twenty one inner limits: pancha karmEndriyams, pancha jn~AnEndriyams, pancha 
prAnams,
four anthahkaraNams (manam-mind, buddhi-intellect, chittam-conscience, and 
ahamkAram-ego), dharmam (right) and adharmam (wrong)
