Acharya Prashant responds to a question regarding a conference in America titled 'Dismantling Global Hindutva,' which some believe is a conspiracy to defame Hindus. He begins by stating that he cannot enter the minds of the conference organizers to know their intentions or whether it is a conspiracy. He points out that even if it is a conspiracy, one cannot stop others from conspiring or speaking, as there is freedom of expression. The world has many people with their own minds and tongues, and they will continue to do what they want. If one path is blocked, they will find another. The speaker then shifts the focus to the self-proclaimed well-wishers of the Hindu religion, questioning why they are merely reacting with distress instead of proactively organizing their own conferences to present the true nature of Hinduism. He argues that simply crying and complaining in reaction is not beneficial. He asks what these well-wishers have done to educate the public, especially students, about the real essence of Hinduism. He asserts that if they had done their homework, they would be able to counter any misinformation. He criticizes the common understanding of Hinduism, which is often reduced to traditions, customs, and festivals, stating that this is a superficial view. He explains that for most Hindus, their religion is just a set of traditions and customs they follow, which they equate with Dharma. Acharya Prashant clarifies that Sanatana Dharma is timeless, but the culture, traditions, and customs associated with it are not; they are subject to change over time. He calls it hypocrisy to claim to follow the same Dharma as one's ancestors while not following their customs. He emphasizes that the core of Sanatana Dharma is found in the Vedas, specifically in the Aranyakas and the Upanishads, which constitute Vedanta. He argues that to counter any propaganda against Hinduism, one must first understand this core. He laments that most Hindus, including those who claim to be its protectors, are ignorant of their own core scriptures like the Upanishads, Ashtavakra Gita, or Ribhu Gita, and have a superficial understanding of figures like Shri Ram and Shri Krishna. He concludes that the diversity within Hinduism, with its many sects and philosophies, stems from one central source: Vedanta. Without understanding this core, any defense of the religion will be weak and emotional, and one cannot truly be considered a follower of Sanatana Dharma.
