@Arleitter

Manusmriti has detailed out each and every obligations and duties ,the people should perform and follow in their daily life.It has become a text for code of conduct for people and it is the Shariat of Hindus.

By saying that it is the Sharia of Hindus, you imply that its being followed as rigorously as Muslims follow Sharia. Can you substantiate that claim on how and where its being followed (except for the remnants of the caste system that still exist) ?

@Arleitter

Manusmriti has even talked about Tax system which isone of the core systems of any governing machinary,that too centuries ago.Tell me which text in the world as old as Manusmriti talks abt it. Is it not followed in India now?Again various code of conducts touching daily lifes,Traetment of elders,parents all have bene detailed out on Manusmriti and we have been following it for centuries.

Brahmin dominance as priests has been carried out since before Manusmriti. The examples about treatment of elders, parents etc are laid out in Bhagwad Geeta and Ramayana and that is what most Hindus follow. Why do you find Geeta/Ramayana in most Hindu temples/place of worship in house and not Manusmriti ?

What are you going to say next - that Chanakya’s Arthashastra is also a Hindu scripture ?

@Arleitter

My question is very simple and I do not know why you are not able to comprehend it. If you are believer of Advaita,why can’t you just say that all the gods/goddesses in this world are simple myths..If you can pick one example of Goddess Durga then why can’t you do the same with other religions**(ISLAM and Christianity in particular)** Or is your Advaita thought just confined within India’s International boundaries alone? Pls explain…

Advaita Vedanta only talks about Hinduism, not any other religion. So my using Advaita Vedanta to rubbish other religions would be an arguement as ridiculous as the one you are trying to make with your Manusmriti examples.

I have already told you that Advaita philosophy believes that all Hindu deities come from the one supreme being. Islam and Christianity are already monotheistic religions so they also believe in One God.
