फार सुंदर. We are born democratic.
प्रत्येक मार्ग ईश्वराप्रति नेतो असा आमचा विश्वास आहे. म्हणून अघोरपंथाला ही स्वीकारले जाते.
नागा साधू ही हिंदू धर्माचा एक भाग आहेत.
भगवे , पांढरे , काळे , पिवळे सर्व रंगांचे वस्त्र वेगवेगळ्या पंथांनी स्वीकारले आहेत. ते ही हिंदूच आहेत.
आस्तिक , नास्तिक , पारमार्थिक , अध्यात्मिक , पारलौकिक , वैज्ञानिक , भाविक , वस्तूनिष्ठ, सदाचारी , पश्चातदग्ध दुराचारी , स्थितप्रज्ञ , शून्यवादी , पुनर्जन्म मानणारे न मानणारे , सर्वप्रकारच्या वैचारिक प्रवाहांचे असून ही हे सर्व हिंदू सनातनी आहेत.
सर्वसमावेशक असा हा हिंदू सनातनी संस्कृतीचा मूळ गाभा आहे. प्रत्येकामध्ये ईश्वराचा अंश आहे हा सनातनींचा दृढ समज आहे.
