What are your views about Hinduism as a religion?

Question

Any idea who wrote there Holy books?

Answer 1

Wow, Acid Bhaiyya, you are back. I was kind of missing you. It is nice to see you continue spewing 'acid' on fellow humans. Where from did you get this idea that every religion should have a book ? If God decides to have a religion without books / with multiple books, without idol / with idols, who are you to interfere with God's wishes. Tell me, except for you belief, do YOU know who has written your books ? Yours is just a belief and so is others' including Hindus and Christians beliefs. You expect others to respect your belief but want to have the right to be outrightly abusive to others' beliefs.

And so far as your question is concerned, a lot of information is available at Wikipedia and other Internet sources, however, you may not like those because they will put Hinduism and India on a better platform then what you want to hear. Just try and read Islam in India on Wiki, howsoever stubborn you may be, you will learn something by reading that.

Answer 2

hinduism is not actually about God and gods worship only.
it is also yoga exercises, meditation, kathak (dance), invocations of deities through mantras, ancient martial arts still prevalent in India.
'hinsa' means violence and 'dur' means far, so hin(sa)du(r)=hindu, meaning far from violence.
now about cow worship, using simple logic, when a baby is born he or she needs milk to live. after the mother stops breastfeeding, it is the cows milk which help keep the baby alive. so there is nothing bad if for hindus cows are sacred animals and if they don't eat the animal.
vegetarianism is encouraged in hinduism. i don't think it is a bad idea. besides it is healthy also.
i don't like the idea of conversion and i don't believe someone can convert to become hindu. why you need to convert to do meditation and yoga exersices.
just following a specific diet and following the principles is enough.

Answer 3

Very favorable. I love their ideas. I think it's better than most. It is believed that humans did not compose the revered compositions of the Vedas, which were handed down through generations by the word of mouth from time immemorial. The general assumption is that the Vedic hymns were either taught by God to the sages or that they were revealed themselves to the sages who were the seers or “mantradrasta” of the hymns. The Vedas were mainly compiled by Vyasa Krishna Dwaipayana around the time of Lord Krishna (c. 1500 BC)

Answer 4

Wayne Kerr has asked:-"However one rare occasion I actually had to accept the argument of a muslim friend...

"They worship cows" how can you think a cow is some divine entity."
_______________________________________________

Kerr's Muslim friend has NO knowledge of Sanskrit in which Hindu Texts are written--Cow is an English word--Sanskrit word used in scriptures is "GO' or GOU"--Please refer sir.Monier William's(an Englishman) dictionary

GO/GOU= Hindu Religious texts(Vedham),Earth, Wealth,Knowledge,the Goddess of Benevolence(GOURI),health, all animal kindom and "Cow" also.(Goptray-Govindham, Gopaampathaye,Gopaala)---Religious texts,Earth,Wealth,,Health,Knowledge,God's benevolence -are they not important to other religious people?--In Hindu Mythology all these essential things in life is "SYmbolically " are said tobe in the body of a "Divine "Cow with a Human Face--called "Kaama Dhenu"=Giver of all the devotees wishes--and the "Divine Cow" is supposed to be present in Heaven(Swargam)--Such Mythological concepts are there in Every World Religion-No religion is an exception.-Since the "Divine Cow" can not brought to the earth,on an earthly cow the Divine Cow's soul is invoked and prayed.Kerr can ask his/her Muslim friend why religious muslims do not eat Pork ? Every Religion has its own cutoms and beleifs.

Answer 5

No Thanks.
“Nearly every home has a corner or even a room for worship of the family’s favorite god. A popular god in some localities is Ganesa, the elephant god. People will especially pray to him for good fortune, as he is known as a remover of obstacles. In other places Krishna, Rama, Siva, Durga, or some other deity might take first place in devotion.”—Tara C., Kathmandu, Nepal.

Answer 6

I always liked the flamboyance and positiveness of Hindu religion.

However one rare occasion I actually had to accept the argument of a muslim friend...

"They worship cows" how can you think a cow is some divine entity.

I didn't really have a response. Still don't

So I would say it is nice interesting but a bit silly.

Answer 7

I don't know who wrote their books but Kali is pretty cool. I also have a statue of Ganesha on my one altar.
