THE late Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, former President of India and a widely respected commentator on Hinduism and Hindu philosophy, has said in one of his essays that "religion in India is not dogmatic.
It is a rational synthesis which goes on gathering into itself new conceptions as philosophy progresses.
The common criticism that Indian thought, by its emphasis on intellect, puts philosophy in place of religion, brings out the rational character of religion in India".
At another place he has said: "Dharma gives coherence and direction to the different activities of life.
It is not a religious creed or cult imposing an ethical or social rule.
It is the complete rule of life, the harmony of the whole man who finds a right and just law of his living."
