An Introduction to Bhagawad Gita
The followers of Sanathana Dharma (otherwise called as Hindus) did notfall back on any single prophet or a single book as the basis of theirreligion.

Q: What is varṇāśrama-dharma ?
Ans : Lord Krishna says in BG 4.13

Prabhupada: Unless there is father, there is no meaning of the word son. Unless there is husband, there is no meaning of the word wife. This is the relative world, and they are accepting this relativity. So how they can deny? As soon as you "temporary" say, you must accept there is eternity.

हे कृष्ण
बैठा था मै तुझे ही याद करने के लिए
दूध वाला, सब्जी वाला
याद आया गॉव का हलवाई
मगर तू याद न आया l
शहर की घुटन ,माँ का आँचल
याद आई दादी के आँगन की चटाई
मगर तू याद न आया l
पत्नी से हुई नोक झोक
याद आई बच्चो की पढ़ाई
मगर तू याद न आया l
कुछ जो जिन्दा है
जो चले गए याद आई उनकी परछाई
मगर तू याद न आया l
भूत से पछताया, भविष्य ने डराया
याद आई वर्तमान की कठिनाई
मगर तू याद न आया l
मगर तू याद न आया ll
