There are three aspects to any dharma: karma or rituals, upasana or mental worship, also called bhakti or devotion, and jñana r philosophy. All these aspects are beautifully integrated in Hindu Dharma. In the western culture, however, we find that philosophy is distanced from religion, which is limited to rituals and devotion. Even great philosophers like Aristotle did not contribute to religion and, in fact, some of them like Bertrand Russel and Nietchze have spoken against organized religion.

We find a marvelous synthesis of philosophy and religion in Hindu Dharma. Here, religion is not opposed to philosophy, and philosophers are not against religion. A study of the Kasipañcakam helps us understand the spirit and helps us rise above the literality.
