That be a religion
one that is so regional
could have been worldwide
could have gone wider in tide
could have been restricted in the sway
could have slowed down in the way
being one of tolerance of magnitude
neither enforced nor abused in latitude
one of passive endowments so mild
an ancient one with principles easy to abide
propagated through oral tradition from yore
the hymns and the songs flow
the literature and the scriptures denote
revolve around precepts that emulate in notes
discipline and decorum emphasized
faith and belief very intensely described
not set in rules as others put across
free to practice as now and when in pause
a concept of a rare quality with an enlightenment
where compassion overtakes passion
where truth overcomes reason
where ideals overwhelm ideas with an insight
where science and religion coexist
astrology and astronomy work together
predictions and reality go hand in hand altogether
truth or "sathyam" being paramount in life
pretext and pretense
are condemned in the strife
while "karma" holds the loop as we find
the seven births show the precincts in a kind
being born as per your earlier birth's deeds
the good and the bad being the outcome of all deals
the religion has many latent facets and facts
be it called Hinduism as in its rightful track.
