Prabhupada: No, this Hinduism, Hindu, this word, is not a Sanskrit word. It is given by the Mohammedans. You know there is a river, Indus, which is..., Sanskrit name is Sindhu. Sindhu.
Prof. Kotovsky: Yes. Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Prabhupada: These Mohammedans, they pronounce "S" as "H." "Hindus," "Hindus." Instead of "Hindus," they made it "Hindus." So Hindu is a term which is not found in the Sanskrit dictionary.
Prof. Kotovsky: Yes.
Prabhupada: But it has come into use. Real, I mean to say, cultural institution is called varnasrama, four varnas and four asramas: brahmana, ksatri, vaisya, sudra--these four varnas--and brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, and sannyasa. So according to Vedic concept of life, unless people take to this system or institution, institute of varna and asrama, four varnas and four asramas, actually he does not become a civilized human being. This... One has to take this process, four divisions of varnas and four..., four divisions of social order and four divisions of spiritual order. That is called varnasrama. So India's culture is based on these four, eight system, varna and asrama.
Prof. Kotovsky: Varnasrama.
Prabhupada: Varna, varnasrama. And in the Bhagavad-gita--perhaps you have read Bhagavad-gita--there is also the statement, catur-varnyam maya srstam. It is... This system is created originally by Visnu. So as everything is creation of the Supreme, they cannot be changed. That is a prevalent everywhere, that a... Sun. Sun is creation of the Supreme. So sunshine is here in America, in Russia, in India--everywhere. Similarly, this varnasrama system is prevalent everywhere in some form or other. Just like the brahmanas. The brahmanas means the most intelligent class of men, brain, brain of the society. Then the ksatriyas, the administrator class. Then the vaisyas, the productive class, and the sudras, the worker class. These four classes of men are everywhere present in different names. And because it is creation by the original creator, so it is prevalent everywhere, varnasrama-dharma. (break) So have you seen this little, how we are translating this? You can see little. Original sloka, its transliteration, then its English equivalent, then translation, then purport, each and every verse is being done like that, whole Bhagavatam Purana.

We request you to chant HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE, HARE RAMA HARE RAMA, RAMA RAMA HARE HARE, and your life will be sublime.

Answer 3

Hinduism is no more a religion as it an accummulation of myths, fantasies and social compulsions.The Hidu folk is sometimes cheated by the stories saying stone elephants drinking milk and credulous Hindus coming to see this miracle travelling thousands of miles, spending millions for witnessing the "Miracle."Has the Hindu intelligentia investigated that why that stone elephant has stopped taking milk or if it has not died of starvation by now?They should have held an open trial of that cheat.They preach clemency and compassion and will fold their hands as a courtsey but shall be most arrogant to the poor people of their society.

Answer 7

It depends on the school or tradition of Hinduism that you are discussing. Some Hindu schools view Krishna as a specific incarnation of Vishnu. Other schools, such as the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition followed by Caitanya, believed that Krishna was not just an incarnation, but the Ultimate Personality of Godhead (thus making Vishnu and his incarnations, as well as the other Vedic gods and demi-gods, incarnations or aspects of Lord Sri Krishna).

To make it simple - try conceptualizing something with no form, infinite and eternal and describe what comes to mind. It is far easier to conceptualize and image. On the other hand, Sri Sri Radha Krishna gives us a nice pleasing "concrete" image to focus our devotion towards which is MUCH easier to do (the many statues and pictures are also great assists).

There are common themes for many of the schools within Hinduism that can be found in the Vedic scriptures, and such works as the Bhagavad Gita. Remember yoga originated out of Hinduism. Most people only know the physical forms of yoga, called hatha, but those techniques area actually preparatory techniques for the higher practices of the spiritual types of yoga such as jnana, karma, and bhakti. You can practice a form of hatha but it helps to be grounded and centered in some sense in the higher forms of yoga or all you are doing is stretching.

If you are interested in the yoga teachings of Lord Krishna, then one thing you may want to focus on to learn and practice in a more nonsectarian manner is the Uddhava Gita. The Uddhava Gita is a summation of the essence of the Bhagavad Gita (and the simplest and most direct practice of yoga), and so it is eminently suitable for nonsectarian, universal teaching which is the essence of Hinduism.

Here is a short summation of the Uddhava Gita which is found in the Srimad Bhagavatam (also known as Bhagavata Purana) 11.7:

EPILOGUE - LORD KRISHNA'S LAST SERMON

At the end of another long sermon comprising of more than one thousand verses, disciple Uddhava said: "O Lord Krishna, I think the pursuit of God as You narrated to Arjuna (in the Bhagavad Gita), and now to me, is very difficult indeed, for most people; because it entails control of unruly senses. Please tell me a short, simple, and easy way to God-realization." Lord Krishna upon Uddhava's request gave the essentials of Self-realization as follows:

· Do your duty, to the best of your ability, for Me without worrying about the outcome.

· Remember Me at all times. (Note that this is the point of chanting things like the mahamantra - Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Kare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare which is often chanted in kirtan or a variation of it. The whole point of kirtan and mantra is remembrance.)

· Perceive that God is within every living being. Mentally bow down to all beings and treat all beings equally.

· Perceive through the activities of mind, senses, breathing, and emotions that the power of God is within you at all times, and is constantly doing all the work using you as a mere instrument and a trustee.

I recommend the International Gita Society as they are nonsectarian, offer affordable translations of the Bhagavad Gita with commentary, and can help teach you the basics without having to spend a lot of money or submit to some guru you know nothing about:

They also have an online Gita study and discussion forum:

I hope these are helpful!
