Hinduism is the oldest religion on earth and has wonderful philosophy regarding Universe, life and death
The main sacred scriputres of hindus are Vedas,Upanishadas and Gita
Normally hindus are peacful and dont like attention...But like in India due to mass conversions by christians, and many muslims cheating the countries and getting benefits from the Government (like separate laws for them),...there are some reactionary hindus, who wish to resist them...it is a sort of awakening to save our culture from tyranny...and the traitors are labeling them as militant hindus
Hinduism is the only religion which has never attacked any country in the name of religion, and has never resorted to conversions by sword or reward

Like in every religion, there are militant and peaceful people. I once got to know a Hindu who was extremely militant. He was a member of the same radical Hindu organization like the man who shot Gandhi and he said he was so proud of this man because Gandhi was the "son of 100 pigs and 100 dogs" because he wanted to make peace with Muslims. He also said many terrible things about how much he wanted to kill Muslims or at least expel them from India because he wanted India to be "purely Hindu" and he even said that Hitler was an example for him!!!

a Hindu is an individual who accepts as authoritative the religious guidance of the Vedic scriptures, and who strives to live in accordance with Dharma, God's divine laws as revealed in the Vedic scriptures.

When the Buddha announced his impending exit from the sphere of mortality, his dear disciple Ananda burst into tears. “Lord, you have been the polestar of our spiritual path so far. Whom should we contact for guidance and higher instructions when you will not be there in the land of the living?” he asked.
The Buddha replied: Atmadeepo bhava - Be light unto yourself.
Your wavering, questioning self must be silenced at the still point of concentrated consciousness. Amidst the darkness of worldly delusion only the emanation of radiance from within - like the full moon - can bring enlightenment. Guru Purnima symbolises emanation of inner illumination, the awakening of the sleeping Buddha within.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna advised his dear disciple Arjuna: “Lift yourself up with the help of your self ”. You are your best friend, philosopher and guide, at the same time you can be your worst enemy as well. Arjuna was never advised to seek refuge in a guru. Rather, he was advised to rise above all religious rituals and seek refuge in Him, the embodiment of eternal Being, the pure Consciousness, and real Self behind the apparent ripples of delusion.
The concept of seeking the light within is perfectly in tune with scientific spirituality. Whenever we sincerely seek intuitive guidance from within we create a magnetic pool to attract the requisite energy vibrations of infinite potentiality hidden within us. Each soul is potentially divine and we need to awaken this divinity through concentrated efforts and continuous aspiration. This is spirituality. No one else can make us gain the same; we need to source it from inside.
In the Mahabharata, when Dronacharya refused to accept Eklavya as his disciple, the boy made an image of Dronacharya and started practising archery in front of the image. Consequently, he mastered the art of archery as good as Arjuna who was the best direct disciple of Dronacharya, through assiduous practice and intuitive skills. The secret lies in intense aspiration leading to requisite release of the potential hidden within through the psychology of faith in a guru despite the physical absence of the guru in the learning process.
Aurobindo had an experience in cosmic consciousness due to his intense aspiration and soul searching. He never had a guru. Although he received instructions on yoga from Bhaskar Lele, he never accepted him as his guru and his teachings did not lead him to self-realisation.
A true guru can be instrumental in transformation of our ego into divine self and release of divine consciousness through the mechanism of faith. But the dogmatic claim of the essentiality of a guru in the spiritual path falls apart on closer scrutiny. The life of the Buddha, Christ, Ramakrishna, Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi and others bear ample testimony to the fact. Guru Purnima, therefore, is an occasion for awakening of our inner illumination in full beam for manifestation of the divinity already within us.
