Hindus explained

Hinduism is a religion, which does not have any founders because the word Hindu was created by the British East India Company to describe all non-Abraham religions of India. The word itself is non-Sanskrit and is associated with geography rather than beliefs or religions. The Persians, Arabs, and Turks referred the people living by the Indus River as Hindus. The word Hindu was first documented by the Mogul rulers, who invented taxation laws to impose on those that did not practice Islam. From the rat worshipers to the meditating yogis following the teachings of the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the associated ancient Sanskrit texts; everyone was addressed by the Moguls as Hindus. Later, the British East India Company added "ism" to the word to collectively define the religions of India as Hinduism. Subliminally, this was done to insult and discredit the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the associated ancient Sanskrit texts. In modern times the corrupt politicians of India and radical groups such as Hindutva keep the foreign word Hindu alive by inventing lies about the origin of the word. Thus ignorance continues to lives on.

If one separates the different beliefs and religions of India accordingly, one could easily discover the founder or the founders of many different sects of Hinduism. For instance the rat worshiping Hindu sect of the Karni Mata was founded in the later period of 1500's by the descendants of Karni Mata, a Hindu priestess. Whereas the belief system that has no founder or founders is linked with the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the associated ancient Sanskrit texts.

The philosophy of the Vedas was orally passed down by the yogis from generation to generation in the form of songs and around 2000BCE - 1500BCE the Vedas was written into four categories. The philosophy of the Vedas is "Eternal" (or "Sanatan" in Sanskrit). Just like no one founded gravity, Newton simply discovered gravity and defined the laws of gravity similarly no one founded the belief associated with the Vedas. The yogis such as Vashishta and Vishvamitra attained enlightenment and wrote their experiences in poetic riddles with rituals and rules. The contents of the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the associated ancient Sanskrit texts are powerful; and the yogis deliberately wrote them in riddles with rituals and rules to protect such power from getting into evil possession. Anyone just reading the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the associated ancient Sanskrit texts can spend their lifetime and fail to understand the philosophy within; per contra those that study and attain enlightenment may glance at any verse at once from these ancient texts and understand every word. Hence, those in search of enlightenment studying these rules or "Laws" (or "Dharm" in Sanskrit) eventually attain enlightenment and become "Eternal" or "Sanatan." Those that study the teachings of the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the associated ancient Sanskrit texts are following an ancient order that has no founder or founders and is known as the "Eternal Law" or the "Sanatan Dharm."

Recently, Hindus have written on 8 types of Hindu marriages summarized from a text called "Manu Smriti." Some bloggers are linking these marriages to the ancient era of the Vedas period. These Hindu writers are either lying or they do not know what they are talking about because these were 8 different ways of consummating unions, both formal and informal, performed around 200BCE - 200CE by good and bad citizens of the region. Some of these ways had more in common with pillaging, slavery, and rape than wedding practices. Although "Manu Smriti," which translates in English as "common man writings," is in Sanskrit; it is not part of the "Sanatan Dharm" beliefs and related customs. Very much like people without credibility today types and tweets on the internet, "Manu Smriti" most likely came in existence in a similar way. Like any material typed by common bloggers may contain errors, "Manu Smriti" is full of flaws. One of the famous types of marriages in the "Sanatan Dharm" is known as "Svayamvar" and none of the 8 ways of weddings briefed by Hindu bloggers mentions this. This further confirms that the ancient order of the "Sanatan Dharm" differs from Hinduism and is not part of any related sect followed by Hindus.

Although Hindus claim the Vedas, the Upanishads, and associated ancient Sanskrit texts to be part of their religion, they do not follow the teachings. One example is the practice of Hindu caste system, which directly defies the teachings of the Vedas. Many Hindus living in western countries have recently started claiming that Jesus Christ was a Hindu or Jesus Christ went to India to learn from Hinduism. Basically, a Hindu will lie, invent myths, or say anything to suggest that "Hinduism is the oldest religion without any founder or founders."

Therefore, Hindus are not part of this ancient order of the "Sanatan Dharm," which has no founder or founders regardless of their claim that the "Sanatan Dharm" is another name for Hinduism. One either studies the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the associated ancient Sanskrit texts to follow the ancient order of the "Sanatan Dharm" or they practice Hindu caste system along with traditions such as Hindu arranged marriages, which displays more Islamic influence, and that is a "Hindu way of life!"
