Hinduism is the world’s oldest religion with roots and customs dating back more than 4,000 years. Dharma is an important term for Hindus. In Hinduism, it means ‘duty, ‘virtue’, ‘morality’, Correct action in accordance with dharma is also understood as service to humanity and to God. The true Guru and Shishya relationship is very important in Hinduism and should be one of respect, and also open to interaction. One needs to understand that knowledge and power are channelled through the guru from a divine source and does not originate within the person. Divine power comes in the forms of respect, understanding and acceptance, not through control and misuse.
 
The allegations made in the High Court relating to Rajinder Kalia are extremely serious and also this practice conflicts with Baba Balak Nath theology. Rajinder Kalia’s  alleged action is abhorrent and does not reflect Hinduism or accepted by Hindu Dharma
