What is 'hindutva' to me.


What is 'hindutva' to me.
--
Just as we don't have a common dream, we also don't have a common world that we seem to share with one-another in the waking state of our perception through senses. Every individual has one's own world. And though we tend to think we share a common world, this thought disappears as soon as we enter the state of perception through senses, that we call 'dream'. Like-wise this perception of the world while in our waking-state of the mind or dreams-tate of the mind too ceases as soon as we enter deep dreamless sleep. And even though we perhaps experience nothing in that state, we all alike love that deep sleep state so much that if we are denied the same we become anxious, disturbed greatly and we would pay whatever price to enjoy that state if we are deprived of for a longer time.
We could perhaps accept how important is the role of this deep-sleep state for the 'life' which we live while awake or in dreams also.
In comparison, when we die, we are supposed to enter another state of mind where neither this 'world' is perceived by us nor the world perceives us in any form or pattern where we could communicate one-another.
We simply don't know what really happens after death, to 'us' or to the 'world' we perceive now.
Some say this world will go on for others like before after I die. This seems a stronger logic then the one when one says : this will just vanish along-with me.
पुराण / purāṇa. emphasizes like in your dream just as you forget all about your 'common world', you experience during your waking-state, and still after waking up you find it existing and at once accept the idea, it must sure have existed while you were dreaming, - after your presumed 'death', you enter another 'world' of your 'perceptions' which existed all along while you were 'alive' and living your life, waking, dreaming or asleep. This was there even before your 'birth'. And after one dies, one is helplessly and forcibly thrown into this 'world' which पुराण / purāṇa. name 'yama-loka'.’यत्र यान्ति प्रेत्य जीवाः’ ’yatra yānti pretya jīvāḥ’ The place / world where one goes to after death. Just as one is forcibly and helplessly thrown into waking, dream and dreamless states of 'consciousness', exactly in the same way one awakens to a 'newer' good / bad level / plane of mind / existence where the sense of identity is not lost, though the memory may leave one for a while. This is not the 'unconscious'-state that which come across in shock / trauma / swoon, or like 'hypnotic-suggestion'.
And पुराण / purāṇa. explains in great detail about those myriad planes / worlds where one goes to when one is dead in this world of 'mortals'. There is no dispute that this world where we live is a temporary stay for all living beings. But there are myriad such planes where the individual 'soul' proceeds to after its virtual-death in the 'world' that it 'experenced' during this stay here.
पुराण / purāṇa. again tell us, however strong one's acquired 'beliefs' and thoughts about the 'life after death' be, all those beliefs and 'faith' are shattered as soon as one breaths his last. One simply enters a new world of his choice earned by one's actions and motives while one lived before his death.
’यम’ / 'Yama', in संस्कृत / saṃskṛta literally means 'Law' Cosmic / Universal. That governs the whole existence.            
पुराण / purāṇa. play the same role as वेद / veda. And are meant to help those who are not mature in mind and pure in heart. पुराण / purāṇa. tell us there are many such 'worlds' one can go to after death and though all are temporary, they are situated at a comparatively lower or higher or rung on the ladder of spiritual evolution of man. And they are according to individuals temperament and make-up, orientation of mind. And those who fell unable to attain the Supreme, can sure try these lesser Gods for their own ultimate benefit.
This requires no presumption, but only listening to पुराण / purāṇa. If one doubts one is free to do so and like वेद / veda,  पुराण / purāṇa. also leaves you discover the truth in your way.
There is this सनातन - धर्म / sanātana-dharma,  सत् / sat वैदिक-धर्म / vaidika-dharma, पौराणिक-धर्म / paurāṇika-dharma, There is सांख्य-दर्शन / sāṃkhya-darśana, sāṃkhya-doctrine, which makes no attempt in defining or explaining or interpreting 'God', because (as Kurt Gordel proved) this will be of no use, is just impossible to do successfully. But  वेद / veda and  पुराण / purāṇa. at the same time do deal with 33 cardinal principles that govern the 'manifestation' at various levels. And the only condition is one has attained the 'qualification' in this or the next life.
To me, 'hindutva' comprises of this whole culture.
