HINDUISM - A Simple Explanation.

Tweet

Hi Friends.. Let me make Hinduism CLEAR to you. I am mentioning few things which I have understood and learnt in Hinduism. Hinduism is a Culture of the people living in the surroundings of Indus - Ganga River (India) Region. The name Hindu is derived from the River Indus (Sindhu). Hinduism is the name given by the people of other regions. We did not call our culture/religion Hinduism ourselves as compared to some other religions which call themselves by some names. Coming to the Principles of Hinduism. Its called Sanatana Dharma. It has: 1) Fulfill your duties (both personal and professional) 2) Do the duties/work without selfish desires. 3) Do not harm others, respect all, treat all as equal. This is the main Philosophy and Principle of Hinduism. Coming to Concept of GOD in Hinduism: ALMIGHTY is One and Only One. Known by many names. Known in many forms. ALMIGHTY is present in ALL (even in vacuum) and ALL are present in ALMIGHTY (even vacuum). Omnipotent Omnipresent Omniscient. God knows everything. Everything Happens at the will of GOD. GOD is energy, matter, time. Whenever there is considerable deviation of the people from the path leading to God, God will prevent the progress of the deviation in many ways. It may be sending a prophet, child (male/female not discriminated as in some religions) or sometimes the GOD Itself comes in many forms (Human or Non Human - no discrimination). God will never tell that you must follow only this particular path leading towards GOD as contrast to some religions. GOD will continue to send prophets/children/ or come in some form and will not stop it as contrast to some religions. (No concepts like Only Son, Only Child, Last Messenger, Last Path, Only Path etc) Coming to Prayers/Worshiping: GOD can be worshiped in many ways. You can worship GOD by giving it a form or you can Worship GOD in a formless manner. There are many paths leading to GOD. Even an atheist will reach GOD if he follows the Main Principle. There is no need/rule that you must pray to GOD. You can Reach GOD by just following the path said by GOD. And in the Path called Hinduism, there is NO Compulsion that you must PRAY to GOD or must worship GOD or must Read the HOLY Books etc.. You don't need to study Vedas, Puranas, Bhagavadgeetha to be a Hindu. Vedas are the books of Knowledge. Bhagavadgeetha gives you the guidelines about how to be in the path of God. So if any person tell everything in Vedas etc etc are myths and Stories or false, there is no problem. Because the Hinduism is not just by BOOKS like other religion. Hinduism existed before the books. And It does not affect the knowledge/teachings of Vedas/Bhagavadgeetha As they all have a Good Moral. You can follow any path that leads to God. God can be worshiped in many form. Now coming to concepts like Pagans, kafirs and one-way/dead end religion etc. is not present in the path called HINDUISM. 1) There is nothing like "other religion" in any Hindu Books and even in its Philosophy. So the Concept of Hinduism is for whole Humanity. 2) There is no concept called religious conversion as Hinduism is for all Humanity. 3) There is no restrictions that you must not change this path and follow other paths. 4) There is no restriction that once you get converted to this religion, you must not leave this religion. So the Path called Hinduism is Open to All. Concepts of Religious books being Complete, Pure, Final, Non-Editable etc. Hinduism existed before the BOOKS and It believes in Gaining and Updating Knowledge. So you can adopt the Good things into Hinduism. Write Your own religious books in according to the Main Philosophy of Hinduism. Coming to the So called Caste ism: Some books describe 4 Groups based on profession and it is misused and wrong interpreted as Caste. 4 groups are Brahamins: People with profession of learning, teaching, priests. There are many rules to be followed if a Person is to be brahmin. Kshatriyas: People with profession of guarding/maintaining the kingdom/people. Vysyas: People with trade/business as the profession. Shudras: The people with the profession of rendering service to the above 3 Groups. Some people misused and propagated wrong things about this concept. Some religions have differences among themselves But still claim there is no difference. Example: A person who gets converted into some religion is not given the status/post of Bishop/Imam/Pope/Saint etc. This is nothing but discrimination. A person who cleans the floors of a Church?Mosque is not Given a Bishop?Imam Post. Why? This is nothing but the Discrimination in Christianity/Islam. This is similar to the concept of Groups based on Profession (Varnas) in the Hinduism. In Hinduism they just discriminated the Profession, But in other religions they even discriminate the Race, color, region, religion etc. Any doubts can be asked and I will try to clear it by consulting my friends and responsible persons as my knowledge is as small as the electron compared to the Whole Universe.
