Swami Chinmayanandaji was a renowned saint. Once, a 'secular' minded journalist, who generally show Hinduism in poor light, vis a vis other religions, asked a question to Swamiji:
Q: *"Who is the founder of Islam?"*
A: *Prophet Mohammad.*
Q: *Who is the founder of Christianity?*
A: *Jesus Christ.*
Q: *Who is the founder of Hinduism?*
Thinking that Swamiji has no answer,
the lady journalist proceeded:
*"There is no founder and hence, Hinduism is not a religion or Dharma at all."*
A: *Then, Swamiji said:*
*"You are right.!"*
*Hinduism is not a religion. It is a Science.*
She did not understand that.
Swamiji put some more questions to her.
*Q: "Who is the founder of Physics?"*
*Ans: "No one person."*
*Q:- *Who is the founder of Chemistry?"*
*Ans: "No one person."*
*Q: "Who is the founder of Biology?"*
*Ans: "No single person."*
*"Many many persons, from time to time, contributed to the wealth of knowledge of any Science."*
*Swamiji continued:*
*"Hindu Dharma is a Science, developed over the centuries, contributed by saints and sages for giving right direction to the society by their own research and experiences ."*
*"Islam has only one book -Quran."*
*"Christianity has only one book -Bible."*
*"But for Hinduism, I can take you to a library and show you hundreds of books."*
*"Because, Hinduism is a scientific religion- called Sanatana Dharma -"*
*" 🙏🏻Eternal Dharma. 🙏🏻"*
