Why A Hindu Can't Be An Atheist

By CN Nimal

There is a mistaken belief among many that Hinduism and the religions that originated in the Middle East have the same basic building blocks. But they are only assumptions at best and willful misrepresentation at its worse. Yes, there are many similarities in the beliefs and rituals of many of the religions but Hinduism varies from most of the other religions on two of its main pillars. That of its concept of God and Moksha, based on the theory of life after death and rebirth. When you go through this book you will understand that any true follower of Hinduism, unlike those of other religions, those who have understood the Hindu concept of a God can never be an Atheist.

About the Author

Preface

The whole idea of writing this booklet came on the wings of a whim. I had just quit my job as an Assistant Professor, Marketing in the MBA Department of the Adi Shankara Institute of Engineering and Technology, Kalady. It is an institution run by the Sringeri Sarada Peetham and had a number of Tam Brahms among the faculty. A couple of them came up to me and requested that I entertain them for an hour on any topic of my interest in Indian philosophy before my one month notice period was over. I had done a session on the life history of Adi Shankara for the professors a couple of months after I joined the college and it was obvious that they had liked it and was their reference point in asking me for the session.

This is an age in which religion is an oft discussed subject. Of late, I had listened to a number of debates and discourses on Hinduism, the Hindu concept of God and the Hindu way of life. Some of these were on the same, simple, maybe idiotic questions that had pestered me like a sore wound throughout my short career on this earth and which had led me to a period of deep introspection. And I had found during my mental meanderings that any discussion on Hinduism has to be done with two basic pillars of Sanatana Dharma kept in mind - Brahman and Moksha. But many a time it was not.

So I decided to speak on the two - the concept, the ramifications and some pertinent questions and the commonsensical answers that came to me on the same. The session was fairly well appreciated and I started putting my thoughts down on a blog called Brahmanya. Once I passed the 10,000 word count I thought why not convert it into an ebook - and here goes…

And a final word before I start my spiel. Don’t expect me to quote too many learned sources. I am not an erudite scholar well versed in Sanskrit or any of the Indian scriptures.In fact I am not acquainted or on speaking terms with most of them. I am just an ordinary person engaged in a mundane job in my own private firm. And I don’t have much time to pore over the mythologies and Shastras that
