read more Gandhiji about God - my god is truth why because there no god greater than truth. Humans are not respecting god instead of praying fighting and killing in the name of god. So only Gandhiji said that there no god higher than truth.so respect every religion and love human beings. Gandhiji's non violence is inspired from Jesus Christ. Another example. Rajaram Mohan Roy is called father of indian renaissance. His crusaded against hindhu customs as sati, , child marriage,and the caste system. He said said indian Education system needs to be reformed by Western discipline with indian ideology. He established many schools .Indian schools were that time there was no attendance, no tests were conducted, no punishment were given, no syllabus is given, every thing is teached by orally .and It is called pathasala. Mant reformer like Rajaram Mohan Roy said that not by simply appling the western and Christian based schools. India want Education system with indian moral values, traditional style of studing with western modal of technology and science. read less

The link between Indian Philosophy (Sanatan Philosophy) which led to four major reliogions of the world viz. Hindu, Budhist, Jain and Sikh is by default close to science as these religions has a clean target of Bharma gyan, which is nothing but the capacity to observe supreme energy from atoms to universe with out keeping any difference between the creator and creation. read less

read more It was Einstein, who boldly proclaimed, "Science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind!" These are intertwined and are not at loggerheads. Faith begins when reasoning ends. Knowing one helps understand the other better. If we equate Science to sheer knowledge (Gyan) and religion to devotion (Bhakti), then understanding the reverend Sri Aurobindo (a Seer/Rishi/Yogi) becomes lucid when he said, "Devotion is not utterly fulfilled till it becomes action and knowledge!" Pray, this is enough food for thought to reflect upon and to draw own conclusions thereof. read less
