Answer 2

Really? It's the only one? Are you sure you want to go with that? You realize that's exactly the kind of thing a Muslim would say, don't you?

Beisdes, as several of the other posters pointed out, Buddhism and Hinduism have a lot of similarities at the higher levels. "Nirvana" is in fact at least as much a Buddhist as a Hindu term.

On the other hand you have every right to say it's the only religion for you. No reasonable person would object to that.

I certainly don't.....

Answer 3

Hinduism is not a religion; it's more of a culture. The word Hindu is relatively modern. The name comes from the Sindu River. The Persians who immigrated to that area could not pronounce the "S" sound, so they referred to the inhabitants in that land as Hindus. It's also where the name India comes from. The country is actually called Bharata. These people practiced many forms of religions, making an extremely diverse body of philosophies, which are too vast and too complex to post here, or to learn easily. Most "Hindu's" acknowledged the Veda's, which are ancient scriptures forming the basis of "Hindu" thought. To answer your question, yes, actions, such as non-violence and respect for all life, are more important than beliefs. Nirvana, however, is more of a Buddhist word. Hindu's refer to the highest state of liberation as Mukti.

Answer 4

No objections.

Vedanta ( Hinduism ) is one of the most profound spiritual philosophies in this world.

Buddhism is a beautiful offspring , the compassionate Buddha was raised in a Hindu society , just like the loving Christ was raised in a Jewish culture.

But Nirvana is a Buddhist term, enlightenment or realization is the Vedic term.

By the way, the people that answered you already are all more enlightened than most ... like I wish we all were !

Thanks for the question.

Answer 5

But the present world Hindus spoiled the purpose of it.

I grade the religions this way:

Judaism - The primitive form of spirituality (a sort of carnal disciplines)
Christianity - The birth of a spiritual personality within
Islam - A Stolen version of Judaism
Hinduism - The ultimate spirituality.

I am basically a Christian. But now continuing my spiritual life through Bhagawat Geetha. It teaches the last stage of spirituality - dissolving with the Creator. Being a Christian I could easily adapt to the teachings of Geetha. It is wonderful.

Answer 6

Only one;
I feel that any religion that says "it is the only one" suffers from selective humanity and possible arrogance. One of the greatest Hindus to have ever lived said he was "A Hindu and a Muslim, A Sikh, and a Jew and so are all of you". Perhaps Gandhi was right in this. Selective superiority creates divisions and reinstates castes. This is not the world we want nor could it be the fastest way to Nirvana in my opinion, humble and possibly wrong though it may be.

Answer 7

You may be surprised to know that there is nothing called Hinduism. originally the people who lived on the west of Indus river (sindhu) were mentioned as Hindus by others.
These people practiced avery ancient code of living (called Dharma or righteous way). Since it was very ancient, amongst them they called it as sanatana dharma. (old way of righteous living). It is Vedic in origin and has no religion and no propunder for it. So no one can claim monopoly on it. it is Universal.
This was what Swami vivekananda explined to the delegates of world religious heads meet in chicago parliament of religions in 1893.

Answer 8

Very true indeed !
It has answers to every spiritual question a man can pose ?

Other religions don't entertain questions nor do they attempt to clear your doubts , thats why their depth of spirituality is nothing compared to that of ours.

Other religions preach only codes of conduct (yama & niyama) & prayer to God .But only Hinduism goes beyond that , just communication with God is not enough, it preaches communion with God.

It tells us how to actually get a glimpse of your Self & get merged with God the ultimate reality.Thats what actually YOGA is all about.

But ignorant people nowadays are limiting it to just asanas(postures) for physical exercise & health purpose.Whereas Yoga is made up of 8 steps:

1.Yama - restraints(five rules)
2.Niyama - observances(five practices)
3.Asana - postures( long hours of meditation & for health)
4.Pranayama - control of breath (purifies the whole system)
5.Pratyahara - collection of scattered mind(internalising the mind by tratak)
6.Dharana - direction of mind (japa,repetition of a mantra)
7.Dhayana - concentration of mind (continuous focussing sharpens & empowers)
8.Samadhi.- immersion

Synchronised control of body breath & mind purifies them through yoga alone one's capacities increase manifold thus making one fit to realise the ultimate truth.

Answer 9

Every person thinks his or her religion is best.
this is the hindu in you who is asking this irrelavant question.
This is your 'Ahankar' and nothing

Try to be a human being first.
