Are some of the great blogs not poetry reflecting expressions of many about our existance at various levels-spiritual to mundane which we all live in at various times? In the same way the ancient scriptures were poetry of human existance by then ''YOU AND US ALL ''of the past!! They wrote discussed and only those thoughts which were popular and acceptable got propagated-as featured blogs do here now.But there were so many others who had their own take at the same topic at various time and geogrophic time and place scale..Healthy differences about the same topic affecting our lives is evident even now.But the crucial thing is that Indian scripture have been written with two cardinal principles with aim to take us all AHEAD, -1. let good thoughts come to us all from ALL sides at all times..2.questioning the gurus--''pari prashnene sevaya''? O teacher why are you not wrong?'' then the learned used to expound..and remove all doubts as we comment and counter comment!!
Religion =dharma means =that which upholds Us all as humans= the rules which we all make to exist well within all the human goodness and go ahead NOT backward and be ready for the change.Sansara in sanskrit means  that which is ever changing..so again i stress hinduism is not bound by any one book or scripture the whole gamut of various scripture are  were written and edited for the various uses for our better lives -4 vedas- 6 vedangas,4 upangas,metaphysical texts like geeta,upanishads and brahma sutras =3 4 upavedas, and 32 primary vidyas incl ayurveda and music arts and other texts represents hindu scriptures,with above two principles giving us all a free hand to upgrade them or inter prete them with open minds  according to the changes of the present.The concept of religion and its texts do not apply rigidly to hindus..all paths lead to Thee,each to his own but with basic tenets of upgraded human existance upheld perpetually..so we have survived all the on sloughts on us  and 
still have energy and spirit to unite the world as a family.
