Dear Sri Ram Ji,

If you are arguing some other poster's point of view, please give him the dignity of addressing him directly. This roundabout anonymous way of arguing against someone else's posting is not correct.

By the way, I am totally befuddled by your argument.

Dharma while existing forever from the begining is described in the Vedas. So, are you arguing that just because Dharma existed forever, how it is described in the Vedas is wrong, or are you arguing that just because one says that Dharma is rooted in Vedas means that person refutes the existence of Dharma from the begining? I do not understand.

While the 'Sun' has existed for a long time, for the humans to understand what it is they are referring to with other humans, they must give it a name, and thus the word 'Sun' was born (of course different labels within different languages for the same thing). So, are you arguing that when one utters the word 'Sun' referring to a piece of writing, they do not really understand the true 'Sun'?

Appreciate if you would elaborate, because I for one can not grasp the meaning of your posting.

Pranams,
KRS

Someone had written in this forum that our Dharma is rooted in the Veda. This clearly reveals his lack of knowledge of both Dharma as well as Veda. Indeed our Veda talks of Dharma as much as it talks of Brahman. But to say that Brahman or indeed Dharma has origin in Veda is to solve the puzzle of which is first: the egg or the chicken!

Yudhishtira the ever persistent student of Dharma asks his Pithaamaha Bhishma who is lying on his deathbed of arrows: "Ko Dharma: Sarva Dharmaanaam?" (Which Dharma would constitute 'all Dharma'?). Pat comes the reply in one word: "Pundareekaakshan"!

This clearly indicates that Dharma is beginningless. No wonder it is called "Sanaathana Dharma".!

Veda, by the way, tells us what is known and what is knowable. It doesn't invent anything!
