Dharm Ke Nam Par

“Dharm Ke Nam Par” by Dr. Bhadant Anand Kosalyayan is an insightful exploration of how religion has been used as a tool for social control, oppression, and manipulation throughout history. Written in Hindi, this book critically examines the role of religion in shaping societal structures, and how it has been misused to impose power dynamics and reinforce inequality.

The book challenges conventional beliefs and offers a revolutionary perspective on religion as a concept, encouraging readers to question religious orthodoxy and its impact on human society.

With an emphasis on the Buddhist viewpoint, Dr. Kosalyayan suggests that true religion should be focused on individual liberation, compassion, and spiritual awakening, rather than institutionalized dogma. This thought-provoking work is a call to free oneself from the confines of religious doctrines and to explore spirituality that nurtures personal freedom and human equality.
