What's Hindu's Gospel?.... ஹிந்துவின் samaya நூல் யாது?

தலைப்பை தீர ஆராயும் முன், can we ask a question, ஹிந்துக்களுக்கு இஸ்லாம், Christianity போன்ற மத விலாசம் ஏதேனும் இருந்ததா?

There's every reason to be skeptic.  Do the young ones know the பாரம்பரியா? That ours is not a religion like Christianity. In the sense that there was a founder of it, viz., the Christ Jesus.  And also unlike you can identify the time period when Other Religions got established, we can't trace the timeline when the Hindu began.  Further, no one did baptize it with the name Hindu. It's trick that that the colonial Rulers,  in their attempt to divide and rule and isolate against others, named us as Hindus   That's how the name still continues.

The base one could premise our பாரம்பரிய at the maximum is the Veda.  Vedas, were they written scripts?  Do they have a letter form? No.  They are just the powerful sabdas, sounds, which the Rishis of the yore cognized while in deep tapas.

The Rishis distilled those holy sounds and passed down their lineage. Later we got Maha Puranas, epics like Ramayan and Maha Bharat by Sages Valmiki and Vysa and Upanishads etc.

Well,

Coming back to the topic,

The brothers/sisters from other religions can cite what their holy gospel book is.  Like Bible, Quran etc.  When they ask us, we blink.  For, as said earlier, Vedas were not in identifiable scripts.

We read only the distilled versions in Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita and other slokas, verses written much later after Timeless Veda happened on this prabancha, the world as we see today.

If we, the Tamil knowing populace, want to zero in on, the best treatise is Maha Swami's தெய்வத்தின் குரல் in 7 volumes.  Any one deeply interested in to know our தாத்பரியம், in one treatise where you get it's, all are in தெய்வத்தின் குரல் volumes.

Years ago, when I went on Audit tour I stayed in a Coimbatore Hotel.  In the Rooms there were two books, one the Bible and the other Swami Chidhbhavananda's commentary on Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

I am aware the brethern from other Sects are so religious in their prayers, reading of their Holy scripts. 

The irony is in ours, it hasn't become quotidian to read our holy verses.
