Bruno, Mansoor et al ). May be this is true in other civilizations, but not in the Indian !\n\nFor instance, Satya Sai Baba declared Aham Brahmasmi and he has millions of followers worldwide. Same is the case with Amma &amp; Sri Sri. Ramana Maharshi &amp; Aurobindo are considered as Sages who reached Brahma Padam. In other words, Indian Civilization has only revered its prophets !\n\n\nAnd, if her detractors want to call that Doctrine \u201c Hindu Supremacy Ideology \u201c, it is their privilege !\n \nIn Indian Civilization, no one packs off one\u2019s parents to Old Homes. Parents are revered  and respected, and even after they move to the Subtle Physical Universe at death, they are honored with Pithru Tarpana.\n \nIn Tarpana, we invoke the Seven Sacred Rivers, Ganga cha Yamuna chaiva Godvari Saraswati \/ Narmada Sindhu Kaveri Jalesmin Sannidhim Kuru, we beg forgiveness from parents as well as the Lord, Samasta Aparadham Kshamaswa Akhilesa, thus throwing away the Papabhara ( weight of sins committed ) and attain mental peace.\n \nIf you want to call its Rationale \u201c Hindu Supremacy Ideology \u201c, you are simply disproving what you intended to prove.\n\n\nIndia is a Civilization which instructs its people to get up during Brahma Muhurta time ( around 0430 AM ), say Good Morning to Deity and all, Suprabhatham,  and consecrate to the Divine. The Divine is understood as the Self Principle tenanting the  Sky of Consciousness of the Heart of All,  Hrid Chid Akasa and Which pervades the Universe, being transcendent, immanent &amp; Cosmic.\n \nLife has an ultimate purpose, Self Actualisation, Kaivalya, which should be pursued and attained ( Swa Vimarshah Purusharthah ). There are Four Purusharthas or Driving Forces \u2013 Artha\/ Wealth, Dharma \/ Righteousness, Kama \/ Ambition &amp; Moksha \/ Self Actualisation, of which Moksha \/ Self Actualisation is the Highest.\n \n \n\nfacebook sharing button Sharetwitter sharing button Tweetpinterest sharing button Pinemail sharing button Emailsms sharing button Sharesharethis sharing button Sharearrow_left sharing button\nPRIVACY<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dakshinayanax.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dakshinayanax.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dakshinayanax-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dakshinayanax-24x20.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dakshinayanax-36x30.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dakshinayanax-48x40.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/dakshinayanax-139x116.jpg 139w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16702"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16706,"href":"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16702\/revisions\/16706"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eastrovedica.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
