Question

wants here your views,opinions,ciritcsims etc,plz answer the truth only,thanks

Answer 1

Hindus are heart and soul of the nation. I m very proud to be a Hindu.

Hindus believe in Worship practices are very regional and are based on the cultural norms of different communities. People go to temples that they are comfortable with. People from the South have a distinct style of worship, while those from the North have a different style. When we go to different parts of the country in India, we admiringly observe the different and rich traditions of different communities.

The term Hindu was also loaned into Sanskrit, as Hindu (हिन्दु), appearing in some early-medieval texts (e.g. Bhaviṣya Purāṇa, Kālikā Purāṇa, Rāmakośa, Hemantakavikośa and Adbhutarūpakośa).

From the geographic sense comes the modern (religious) term Hindu, with the meaning of being a follower of Hinduism.

There could be many ways in which one could describe a Hindu. One of those ways is in accordance with the traditional schools of Hindu philosophical thought.

The Sanskrit term Nastika means a non-believer, non-Hindu. The six traditional schools of Hindu philosophy (Samkhya, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Purva Mimamsa, Vedanta) define Astika [6] (believer, Hindu) as one who accepts the authority of the Vedas as supreme. These six schools are known as Shat Astik Darshana. Even though these philosophies are studied only formally by the scholars their influence is found in many religious beliefs of the average Hindu.

Hence a Hindu could be defined as a person who accepts the authority of the Vedic scriptures as supreme and leads his/her life in accordance with Dharma. (righteousness, good moral and ethical practices in accordance with the scriptures.)

The Nastika (non-believer) schools are the ones which deny / reject the authority of the Vedas as supreme. They are Buddhism, Jainism and Lokayata.

Thus if you accept the Vedas (by extension Bhagavad Gita, Puranas, etc.) as your scriptural authority, and lived your life in accordance with the Dharmic principles as mentioned in them, you are then a Hindu.

Truly out of Hindu practices and beliefs a Hindu is one who practices Bhakti (devotion) on any form of God (see Brahman & Paramatma) or who practices one of the yoga systems for the purpose of Moksha.

Answer 2

Well it is a good question to ask when many people in India have started feeling that hinduism is on decline in this country. This does appear to be the case if one goes by demography. Immediately after partition, the percentage of hindus was around 88-89% while today it is around 80% only, even tough the country's population has trebled since 1950. This means that by breeding and by conversion the muslims and christians have increased in number considerably. One can view this as weakness in hinduism.
Our President is a muslim, the PM is a sikh, The chief minister of AP is a christian, the president of the political party that governs the country is also a christian. Such a phenomenon can not be witnessed in any other country in the world, forget any christian or a muslim country. Yet it is the hindus that are blamed for narrow-mindedness.
I think this is the strength of hinduism which has enabled it to survive the on-slaught of foreign invadors, both muslims and christians. But the lessons have not been learnt. The hindus are terribly divided into many warring castes and factions. There is a much greater tendency of self denigration. Because the muslim and christian communities are more united there is a rush to appease them for votes. This surely is against the interest of hindus. But there is no great or true leader of hindus to get them their rightful place in the world by uniting them and by removing the untouchability and caste system prevalent among hindus.

Answer 3

Hindus of India are intelligent and smart.They can be extremely good at intellectual work.They are normally tolerant but in this they can be self destructive as actually many times this tolerance is either because they want to act Great or because they have a selfish interest in this.Hidus are very philosophical,so sometimes they tend be Fatalistic.There is too many divisions in Hindus fully allowing caste based politics and be used by pseudo intellectuals & Politicains.There is a need to brighten this breed

Answer 4

Like your handle. Ganesh... My fav is Shiva.

Hinduism is a great religion. My favourite part of it is that Hinduism is truly tolerant of other religions and it exponents even recognise Jesus as an avatar. I cannot say the same for most the other religions of the world!

Hindus, as practioners of Hinduism, are the same as any other people. You get bad Hindus and you get good ones. Being a follower of a particular does not make you automatically one thing or the other so I cannot comment on the individual person.

I have met Brahmins and I have lived among untouchables. All are wonderful people. I have also met ones I didn't care for. But not because of their religion! LOL!

While I understand that in India people ARE their religion (more so than most anywhere else I have ever been) people cannot hide behind it- they are what they are because THEY choose to be thus.

Peace out!

Answer 5

In short Hindus are the most tolerant people, that is why they are able to co-exist with other religious people. But they are poor with no external support like other religious people. But Hinduism must shun away with cast and untouchability and treat all are equals. For this, of course our politicians and Govts. should also extend their helping hand by not dividing Hindus by SC,ST,BC,MBC, etc. etc. All these never comes with ones birth, but with ones economical status. Whether in Hindus or in any religion, those with economical well being have a place or status in society. This economical equality has to be achieved first, in such case all other things will follow side by side in Hindus.

Answer 6

Hindus are Hindus ! Though they are divided in many casts they are one. They are very good at heart. They will share their food to a needy person even when they are hungry. The believe "Atithi Devo Bhava" means a guest is like god. They believe the God is one but exists in many forms. Therefore they pray Tree on Vat Pornima and Snake on Nag Panchami. They have never attacked any country or neighbouring area else they have power to destroy Napak-istan (Napak Sthan = Pakistan). This place is very short to explain about Hinduism, many Hindus even could not understand what it is. I am a very small creature, so unable to explain it completely. Please drom your email id so that I will contact you again and will attempt to explain you what exactly is Hinduism !

Answer 7

till eventually about four hundred-600 A.D. Guna , Karma lead yet after the invasion by technique of foreigners issues have replaced possible. honestly the gadget nonetheless prevails because the Sanatan structures do no longer change with time.

Answer 8

Hinduism is a great culture. It's not a religion. Taht is why a Hindu is a born Hindu. You can convedrt into other religions. But you cannot get converted into a Hindu.

Hinduism deals with all the fileds fo knowledge. No wonder it's India who has given the decimal numbering system to the world, who has developed the oldest ever known medical science - ayurveda, who has talked about the earth being round thousands of years ago and alot more.

And for all those fanatics out there, Hindus believe in one God. They also believe that God has different forms. He is present in me as well as you. Hindus also believe taht there is a satan present in us. It's upto us whom to give way. It's the most tolarent culture. The only culture in the world which teaches us to respect each and everything in nature, teaches us to survive in extreme conditions, to live in harmony with mother nature.

Wanna know more on hinduism, mail me. Each and every vedic ritual has an technical expalantion. Hinduism doesnot teach one to preach hinduism but to share. That explains why India has given so much and is still making its offerrings to this thankless world.

Answer 9

Hindus are human beings just like christians, Muslims etc, with all the human weaknesses. Of course they are more tolerant than others and hence relatively less aggressive. You can continue to be a hindu even if you go on denigrating Hindu gods/rituals etc. A Christian or Muslim can not do so with their Gods.

Answer 10

As for as I am concerned there is no Hindus in India.Here only some people who are worshipping idols.They are all false belivers.
They dont know the actual Philosophy of Hinduism.Some dirty Castism is prevailing in India.The religious people who are pretendig that they were Hindus.Their only thinking is to make money by exploiting the illiterate poor by showing some nasty magic.

Answer 11

I dont know how to answer your question. As the topic on which as vast as a ocean and you are asking me the opinion about the drops of water in that ocean. I will rather like to ask you, what sort of opinion you are looking into. If you really want to know about Hindu than you need to study the Vedas, Gita from a spiritual Master.
