Interesting... so, in a way, hinduism was/is the only religion in the world... as sb puts it... only the saguna brahman differs (concept borrowed from adhvaitham :clap2:)...

just adding on here... but how authentic is this piece of info... ?!

This is the Hindu deity Shiva. This piece is at present on view in the Etruscan Museum at the Vatican in Rome. Encyclopedia Britannica mentions under the headings "Etruria" and "Etruscan" that between the 2nd and 7th centuries BC, northern Italy was known as Etruria. During excavations many such "meteoric stones mounted on carved pedestals" are discovered in Italy. Obviously, therefore, this one was dug up from the Vatican itself. Many more must be lying buried in the Vatican's massive walls and numerous cellars. Vatican is itself the Sanskrit word "Vatica" applied to Hindu cultural-cum-religious centers as in "Ashrama-Vatica" or "Dharma-Vatica" or "Ananda-Vatica." Therefore, the Vatican was obviously a Hindu religious seat before its incumbent was forced to accept Christianity.

the above passage from stephen-knapp about siva linga-yoni.

but its unfortunate,that people still have not grasped,sanathana dharmas vision.there is seperateness between judaism,christanity,islam,buddhism,jainism,sikkhism-becoz these are within our dwa-darshanas of sanathana dharma only.today we have so many temples in usa.for the future generations,they will have to understand,that people in earth shared religious ideals all over the globe.war is not the only way,bhakthi spreads.that is why sanathana dharma is relevant to all parts of bhu-loka.
