If we look at tree of Dharma detailed in Hinduism philosophy we shall find that before start of any religion on mother earth, existed “Dharma” … “Your right to do what is just and right and not what was destined”. It is guided by inherent Dharma (righteousness) life evolved on mother earth. Every living form particularly human beings were expected to take care of lower forms of life. Maintaining the delicate balance of nature was direct responsibility of mankind, the highest manifest stage in cosmic life cycle.
Human form is the most evolved species on mother earth. It is only in human form one reaches stage of enlightenment and finally moksha salvation… emancipates forever from cycle of birth and death!
The tree of Dharma grew and when cut in the stem it had four sections and wisdom of four Vedas dawned on mankind namely… Rig Veda, SAMA Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. The wisdom of Vedas (Hinduism revelations), the first words of God Almighty on mother earth were invoked by highly evolved sages and Rishis of those times. All the four Vedas were voluminous documents beyond reach of masses. Only scholars, serious travelers of spiritual path, religious teachers indulged in them.
As the tree of Dharma grew further came Lord Krishna, an avatar of his era (God manifest in human form). Whatever was contained in Vedas relating to path of spirituality was detailed in Bhagavad Gita. The essence of Vedas for indulging in spirituality was now available to mankind in form of sermon of Bhagavad Gita. The 700 shlokas verses contained in Bhagavad Gita formed summum bonum of spiritual life. There was nothing more pure than teachings of Bhagavad Gita.
The tree of Dharma still grew further and developed its first branch and was born Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism. This branch further segmented into two sects… Digambars and Svetambars! This branch of Jainism segmented further and many more sub-branches evolved with time… like Terapanthi, Bisapanthi etc.
The tree of Dharma grew further and exactly 77 years after coming of Mahavira another branch developed and Gautama Buddha was born. About 423 years later the tree developed another branch and Jesus Christ came into the scene. A few centuries later another branch and came Prophet Mohammed.
The tree of dharma is still continuing but its end is near. To re-establish Dharma, to stem the rot in the society coming of an avatar of present era, advent of Kalki avatar was necessitated. In a decade or so mankind would witness the fiercest war of present era, a man-made calamity, Mahabharata of present times (mother of all wars). Almost 1200 million people will perish. Only then cleansing of the society was possible. Dharma (righteousness) needs to be established at any cost.
Kalki avatar, a one-man army would truly be a phenomenon to watch, one possessing powers almost equivalent of Lord Krishna!
This explains the primary reason why Hinduism religion must be termed Sanatana Dharma.
