Unity in Dharmic Divinity India as a nation which is always defined by its sacred geography and the following Dharma.
The worship of Indradev in Vedic era which continues till today even in the form of right to Passage Uthaka Shanti before Janeu and other ceremonies even today.
The six major form of deity worshipped are of Shiva through prominent Jyotirlingas, Shakti through Shaktipeethas,Vishnu/Narayana through temples around India,Gansha, Karthikeya and Suryadev through temples in certain areas as Major deity and certain areas as deities of Pantheon. Thus the worship was common around India.
The sites of Ramayana and Mahabharata along with other temples related to above events still exists as cultural memory where Buddhists in Jataka tales,Jains in their version have Ramayana and Mahabharata as Fundamentals. Sikhism too took some basics and their founder Guru Nanak Dev ji visited Ayodhya on his yatra.
The worship of river and festivals to every rivers based on its Zodiac year and planetary shift is a major point of understanding.
The yatra by Gurus were very much part of such a worship. That Jagat Guru Shri Adi Shankaracharya, Swami Shri Ramanujacharya and Madvacharya also Chaitanya Mahaprabhu,Swami Samarth Ramdas and Finally Swami Vivekananda all visited the sacred geography of Nation to learn and to share their understanding.
Thus it’s always the sacred geography and Dharma united the Nation above the diversity. Thus let’s remember the sacred geography and Dharma which links us fundamentally above anything.
