	Introduction - Encyclopedia of Authentic Hinduism
		The religion of Bharatvarsh (Hinduism) is the direct descension of the Grace of God which is manifested in the form of the Divine Bhartiya (Hindu) scriptures.
		Trying to impose the worldliness of their own culture upon the Hindu faith, they introduced such fictitious theories and disparaging dogmas that produced a derogatory and demeaning view of Hinduism.
		It was important to disclose these facts so that a true lover of Hinduism should understand the negative aspects of all such publications, and, discarding them forever, he should resort to the authentic Divine teachings of Bhartiya religion.

		Hinduism provides a novel approach to knowledge, which suggests that ultimate reality cannot be conveyed through the senses or in language but may only be directly experienced in meditative practice.
		Hindu dharma prescribes specific rules of conduct to an individual depending on that individual’s caste and what stage of life they are in.
		Additionally, if the contract was determined to have been breached because of “greed”, the judge should “banish that man from his (the king’s) realm.”[78] Hindu law treated (“greedy”) breach of contract so harshly because toleration of it was thought to lead to the proliferation of greed and dishonesty throughout the kingdom.

		Hindu theology is polytheistic (millions of gods and goddesses), hylepluralistic (multiple planes, strata or levels of being) and bi-polar (sleeping and waking Brahman).

		The Inner Buddha chose to be born to a royal couple in a region that nowadays is known as Nepal, near the Himalaya; the parents were of the clan of the Shakya, and the mother that was chosen was named Maya.
