Who think hinduism is based on pack of lies and ignorance of nature during ancient times?

Question

spamandham, I'll love to target every religion in a selective manner... ;-)

Answer 1

All religions are based on lies and ignorance. Why should Hinduism be different?

Answer 2

Yes, I guess, if you equate "pack of lies and ignorance" with "belief",however, this could easily describe all religions, so we are not really getting anywhere with this question.

In fact, I think your question is a bit of flamebait. I'd go a bit easy on Hindu's, I have a few as clients in my practice. They never try to push their ideas on me, make me feel bad about what I believe, feel compelled to "prove" anything about their religion to me or ask for a donation for their cause. Many were immigrants to this country at some point in their lives, and have practiced the idea religious tolerance since coming here. That's something I can't say for some other religions

Answer 3

I've studied Hinduism and believe it to be a beautiful and interesting religion. One of the oldest. Full of exciting, wonderful and heroic stories.

The religion of ignorance and deceit.....now that's a religion based on a pack on lies.

Wallablack: That's Hoodoo not Hinduism

Answer 4

No as a Hindu I am not offended !! we dont believe in Blasphemy !!

Hinduism is mainly in two parts.. the rituals and mythology and it may be easily challenged by anyone, because it has a different cultural backgound

The core philosophy of Hindus is a wonderful philosophy. It mainly deals with Mind & Matter, God, universe, Truth and Untruths

It also deals with the cause of pain and sufferings and the way to get out of this web or the matrix of Universal energies.

Hindus philosophy is mainly in Upanishadas and Gita which has no Fairy tales, but strong logical thoughts of ancient sages about the Truth

Hinduism does not condemn non-hindus to Hell

It does not even ask you to convert to hinduism.

Yoga is the biggest gift of hindus to the humanity...as it can be used for a better body, or a peaceful mind or for enlightenment.

Hindus believe in One supreme God (AUM), but hinduism does not force its followers to strictly be bound by any dogma...hence hindus can worship god anyway they like...like mother, father, friends beloved, husband, son...

Hindus do not reject Evolution & Creation..rather they use Manifestation as the correct word.

Hindus believe, the whole matter is nothing but condensatin of Energy (shakti), and this shakti is self-conscious... They call her Mother

Hindus respect nature, animals, forests, mountains and rivers...because alll have divine spark of God in them

If Hinduism is based on lies, then all religions have that same possiblity. We cannot tell which religion is correct yet...that is if any of them are correct.

Answer 7

Who think hinduism is based on pack of lies and ignorance of nature during ancient times?

Only those who do not know about it anything. Most people can not even name its philosophical books. I doubt you can do so either.

Most of the west knows about Hinduism , what they learn from Missionariy propoganda sites. These sites are full of twisted and distorted facts who only mislead people.

A religion and a culture who was the first to give the world number syustem, invented zero, algebra,helicantric solar system, started cosmetic sergery , calculated circumference of earth in 415AD, where nobosy was percecuted for scintific apprach or made to drink poison for opposing religious dogma or religion backed theories of creation desreves much more respect.

Carl Sagan, (1934-1996) astro-physicist, in his book Cosmos says:

"The Hindu religion is the only one of the world's great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond, to those of modern scientific cosmology.

The French historian Louis Jacolliot says, "Here to mock are conceit, our apprehensions, and our despair, we may read what Manu said, perhaps 10,000 years before the birth of Christ about Evolution:

'The first germ of life was developed by water and heat.' (Book I, sloka 8,9 )

'Water ascends towards the sky in vapors; from the sun it descends in rain, from the rains are born the plants, and from the plants, animals.' (Book III, sloka 76).

(source: Krishna and Christ - By Louis Jacolliot p. 15).


Ages before Lamarck and Darwin it was held in India that man has passed through 84 lakhs (8,400,000) of birth as plants, animals, as an "inferior species of man" and then as the ancestor of the developed type existing to-day. The theory was not, like modern doctrine of evolution, based wholly on observation and a scientific enquiry into fact but was a rather (as some other matters) an act of brilliant intuition in which observation may also have had some part."

(source: Is India Civilized - Essays on Indian Culture - By Sir John Woodroffe p. 22).

"The idea that scientists or theologians, with our present still puny understanding of this vast and awesome cosmos, can comprehend the origins of the universe is only a little less silly than the idea that Mesopotamian astronomers of 3,000 years ago – from whom the ancient Hebrews borrowed, during the Babylonian captivity, the cosmological accounts in the first chapter of Genesis – could have understood the origins of the universe. We simply do not know.

The Hindu holy book, the Rig Veda (X:129), has a much more realistic view of the matter:

“Who knows for certain? Who shall here declare it?
Whence was it born, whence came creation?
The gods are later than this world’s formation;
Who then can know the origins of the world?
None knows whence creation arose;
And whether he has or has not made it;
He who surveys it from the lofty skies,
Only he knows- or perhaps he knows not."

(source: Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science - By Carl Sagan p. 106 - 137).

As for you, learn the name of all Hindu scriptures and study about them .

The day you are able to name all books which contain religious philosophy of Hinduism and what topic they disscuss , Post your question and we will disscuss about ignorance and lies.

Till then go and get educated.

Answer 8

Instead of asking a stupid and insulting question why don't you read books about the religion and find out, and if you don't have time to study then mind your language. I am not a Hindu but I still like to respect other people's believes. You don't have to believe in what they believe just leave them alone.

Answer 9

Hinduism might not be a pack of lies. I recommend you read a book on it.

Answer 10

I do not know about when it began, but it is based on a pack or lies and ignorance of nature as well as just plain old ignorance.
