There is nothing more miserable than to
feel that emancipation is in the air and yet suffer the slavery of a mistaken
idea.
The author seeks to re-invent Hinduism by
bringing to the fore its most fundamental postulates as:
1. Worship of the
monotheistic formless Brahm.
2. God-realisation
through Nishkam Sewa (selfless service).

The author seeks to re-invent Hinduism by
bringing to the fore its most fundamental postulates as:
1. Worship of the
monotheistic formless Brahm.
2. God-realisation
through Nishkam Sewa (selfless service).
3. Social equality and
brotherhood (vasudhaiva kutumbakam).
4. Self-realisation
through Jnana Yoga, Karma Yoga and Bhakti Yoga.
5. Salvation through
worldly life of Purushaarth (Dharm, Arth, Kaam, Moksha).
'EK Samaj' repudiates the following
attributes as excrescences and repugnant to the faith:
1. Mixing philosophy and religion made
Hinduism an unorganised religion.
2. Worshipping numerous deities and
limiting religious service to mere darshan of the idols fragmented Hinduism.
3. Hereditary priesthood, as permanent
intermediaries for communion with God, polluted the religion.
4. Occupational ‘purity’ and ‘pollution’
camouflaged iniquitous social divisions.
5. Individual instead of congregational
worship smothered Hindu brotherhood.
6. Pretensions of attaining Siddhis through
‘meditation and penances’ eulogised.
7. Escapism in worldly renunciation
honoured.
8. Fatalist karma theory made Hindus
pessimistic and other-worldly.
9. Transmigration, reincarnation,
84-lakh births used as props for gradation of castes.
10. Acceptance of Ahimsa made
Hindus a doormat for the ruthless barbarians.
11. Karma kand and Mantra,
Tantra, Yantra etc. justified as the sole religious expressions.
12. Lack of proselytisation
prevented Hinduism from becoming a world religion.
13. Devdasi tradition made temples
the venues of entertainment and recreation.
