Q. If there is no founder of Hindu religion then how did it start?
A. In the beginning of each cycle of creation some wise persons who are very much elevated from previous creations and whom the Hindus call Maharishi are born, In their samadhi or close contact with God, divine knowledge, both secular and spiritual, dawns upon them. Such knowledge is called Vedas, which in turn give rise to Hinduism.
Q. How did the name 'Hindu' come?
A. The Western invaders of India in ancient times used to call the inhabitants of the Eastern side of the Sindhu river (Indus river) 'Hindus', the word Hindu has a geographical significance, but according to Sir Radha Krishnan, it has now a more cultural significance than a geographical one.
