By the 1848 Adi Brahma Dharma published doctrine of Debendranath Tagore,
it was held that present Hinduism doctrine is corrupted, but that the
original Vedas of pre-Aryan times (being relatively pure, though still
fallible and not Scripture to be relied on) as reflected by 11
judiciously chosen Upanishads also speak of a single formless God who
requires no temple or priest or idol for worship, only a rational and
pure conscience of an intelligent mind. That there is no caste - high
or low - all people are equal, in this World and before God. The
doctrine of reincarnation is rejected. The doctrine of God being
incarnate is also rejected. |
