I would like to start by explaining what this essay is not. This essay is not a whimsical attempt at justifying the academic study of religion by suggesting it is of higher moral worth to do so. I have no interest in saying that just because religion has no practical application‚ that should not stop me from studying it for my own interest.

Truth alone Triumphs Here is a famous Sanskrit saying to which I’d like to add my perspective. Sanskrit Verse: "Satyam eva Jayate" Meaning: Truth alone Triumphs The phrase ’Truth’ in this context refers to righteousness‚ integrity‚ and morality. No matter what‚ Dharma will finally be achieved.
