[Advaita-l] New topic for Discussion - Religion vs Spirituality

[Nithin Sridhar]

This separation in my understanding is a western construction. West loves
to create categories! From Dharmic perspective, all life is sacred and
hence is both religious and spiritual. Dharmic framework only has divisions
like Vyavaharika and Paramartika, Laukika and Adhaytmika and none of these
terms has any exact equivalents in english as such.
