Hinduism, strictly speaking, has no "dogmas" in the sense that every concept may be denied, on condition that the argument used is intrinsically true; which amounts to saying that concepts can be denied from the standpoint of a higher level of truth, metaphysics standing above cosmology and realization above theory as such.

No orthodox Hindu can maintain that the Veda has been mistaken on any point whatsoever. — Frithjof Schuon
