Is hindu the only religion which says which ever path/religion u take if u do good deeds u can go to heaven?

Answer 1

I hope thats only Abrahmic Religion (Jew, Christian n Islam) Thing.

Hindus believe that all paths lead to Him the God only. And its off shoots like Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and other miner sects whether still considered as Hindu or not, have inherited this thought. So all Indian religious sects follow it.

Freedom of the mind created the wondrous world of the intellect — the world of Hindu rishis, philosophers, poets and dramatists.

India has had an unrivalled tradition of religious freedom and tolerance. That tradition was born of the consciousness that truth can never be the monopoly of any one sect or creed.

Infinite tolerance is the hallmark of Hinduism. The first statement of tolerance in Hinduism comes from the Rig Veda and the Bhagavad Gita:

"Let good thoughts come to us from all sides" or "The truth is one but the wise call it by many names" or Lord Krishna saying that "Whoever invokes a deity by whatever name, it is Me he invokes"

(source: Ayodhya and After - By Koenraad Elst Voice of India SKU: INBK2650 p.238).


According to the Bhagavad Gita, even those who worship other gods (anyadevatah), ancestral deities, elemental powers, if they do so with faith, then their faith is justified, for the Divine accepts every form conceived by the worshipper.

"Each soul is potentially divine"

Sir. S. Radhakrishnan has observed, " Hinduism recognizes that each religion is inextricably bound up with its culture and can grow organically. While it is aware that all religions have not attained to the same level of truth and goodness, it insists that they all have a right to express themselves. Religions reform themselves by interpretation and adjustment to one another. The Hindu attitude is one of positive fellowship, not negative tolerance."

"As a result of this tolerant attitude, Hinduism itself has become a mosaic of almost all the types and stages of religious aspiration and endeavor. It has adapted itself with infinite grace to every human need and it has not shrunk from the acceptance of every aspect of God conceived by man, and yet preserved its unity by interpreting the different historical forms as modes, emanations, or aspects of the Supreme."

(source: Eastern Religions & Western Thought - By. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan p 313).

Answer 2

All religions do NOT teach this! Even St. Paul said, "Your good works are as filthy rags."

Actually, Hinduism does not teach this. Your point would be closer to Buddhism. Anyone may be a Buddhist, but you must be born a Hindu. You cannot convert to Hinduism. It is a difficult religion to follow. Each Hindu belongs to a certain class into which he is born, and he has many strict yogas(ways) to follow in order to reach Nirvana.

Buddhists do not call the end spot, Heaven. Buddha was never clear on this. It is doubtful that he thought that an end place ever existed. The purpose of Buddhism is to divest yourself of a false sense of self.

Answer 3

For some clarification...

Buddhism does not say that you will "go to Heaven." Enlightenment, the object of Buddhism, is not a heaven but merely defined as "ceasation of suffering." You merely exit from the circle of birth and death. No heaven.

Also Buddhism did not come from Hinduism, though some Buddhist sects incorporate Hindu mythology. Buddhism came about in a hinduist culture, but was completely seperate as Siddhartha went searching for the reason for suffering through various practices, eventually gaining enlightenment and founding what was Buddhism.

Answer 4

All religions say that. Take a course on World Religion. Faith is based on being rewarded for good behavior. Jesus says you can enter heaven by believing in him, but Christan's claim that you still have to follow the rules of the Bible too.

Answer 5

all religions say that do good and be rewarded and and bad and go to hell. may be u should do a comparitve analysis of all religions and u will find the main message of all major world religions will be: peace and good deeds towards community will lead u to Heaven.

Answer 7

Buddhists view all religions (when practiced correctly) as ways to transform your mind for the good, but they do not believe in heaven.

Answer 8

I don't know if it's the ONLY religion. But Christ said "No one may enter the kingdom of Heaven, but through me."

Answer 9

Answer 10

Buddhism also believes that any path can lead you to enlightenment; however, Buddhism *did* rise out of Hinduism.
