Hindustan Land Of Hindus Believing Hinduism

Hindustan Land Of Hindus Believing Hinduism: What is Hinduism? The answer to this can be found in the following basic definitions: 

Who is Hindu: One who lives, worships, and dies with a promise of attaining salvation. He who is a Hindu attains moksha or God's pleasure in heaven, that is the essential promise.
 
Hinduism is described as the oldest surviving philosophical system in the world. It is also called by many names, like Hinduism, Hindu Dharma, Krishnaism, Vaishnavism, Shaktism, Shaivism, Naraism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It is also described as the world's largest religion by the percentage of the world's population. 

It is also described as the world's most "India-centric" religion, also by percentages. Hinduism is the mother religion of almost every religion that exists today. As such, it is called the world's oldest surviving philosophical system.

In ancient times no one knew who was God, the Gods and Goddesses were just named for living entities. As a pure form of worship, the power of living entities is called Shakti. These powers are responsible for manifesting in the physical world. However, many people worship Hindu Gods as gods of power and high regard. But from ancient times and modern times, India has followed this divine wisdom since Vedas and Upanishads.

Shiva the Eternal Source in Hinduism: Shiva: the Supreme God in Hinduism. He is considered to be the destroyer of all evil and the source of all goodness in the universe.

Hinduism has become the most popular religion. It is the most successful religion in the world, based on numbers, in India. But there is a story about why Hindus are more successful than others. If you go far enough in Hindu philosophy, you will see that everything is everything. This means that everything is a part of everything else, is God, is Shiva. Hindus recognize this as the source of all things. They call this source the soul of the universe. Every part, every unit of nature, every aspect of your life, is the soul of your soul. That is the truth. Hinduism believes this. 

All the other religions differ on this belief. Because they believe that everything is ultimately God, their purpose is to seek God. Other religions believe that the soul of the soul is the soul of God. It is the soul of everything, and everything is God, is the source. Hinduism can explain this contradiction. All the religions are different on this. 

Gods in Hinduism are called Bhagwan, which translates to ultimate reality, absolute truth, the divine. Shiva is one of the major names of God, which is Hindu as he is the primary deity of Hinduism. Vishnu is another one of the major names of God. Brahmand is the universal source of all things. The world itself is but a manifestation of Shiva. 

So if everything is Brahmand, then why is the whole world different from the same thing? In Hinduism, the reality itself is Brahmand, which is the essential truth. Brahmand is one and is everything, and all that is Shiva. Brahmand is the ultimate source of all things. The sun, the moon, trees, skies, mountains, and all that is Brahmand. Brahmand is omnipresent. Brahmand is God, everything is God, including you.

The story of how Hindus came to this understanding is long and tragic. When the Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that things are what you recognize, the Vedas arrived to tell us how things are. They said that everything is Brahmand, and that nothing is God, and that everything is God. The most faithful devotees of the Vedas are called Hindus. The most honorable ways to worship are singing, dancing, and breathing. How then does one be a Hindu? If you are a Hindu, you know that the ultimate way to be a Hindu is to sacrifice one's soul, so that your God may be at peace. You also know that one who has achieved moksha, or God's pleasure in heaven, will be able to descend from God to enjoy the pleasures of heaven.

Hindus the Ancient Warriors: Kshatriyas (warrior monks) are an important social class in Hinduism. Kshatriyas, at times called Kauravas, are the traditional warriors and military leaders in the Hindu pantheon. Kshatriyas perform social service to society as well as for the benefit of the deity. The warrior monk, Chitragupta, is a Chitrakuta, the greatest warrior of ancient India. Brahminism (Brahmanical religion) is the second most prominent sect in Hinduism. Brahmin is another name for god. 

History of Hinduism in India as per Hindu Puranas: The Indian people in the Indo-Aryan subcontinent were traditionally polytheistic, worshipping many different gods. Hinduism is a polytheistic religion; that is, it venerates a pantheon of different gods (para.1.6.b, 15). Hinduism distinguishes itself from its primary polytheistic rival, Jainism, in that it accepts the existence of many gods, and it emphasizes the greatness of the supreme god, Hindu Gods are an almighty God, as opposed to Jainas, who perceive God to be a primordial being that exists simultaneously with all living beings and an indivisible totality.

In the broadest sense, Hinduism can be defined as a religion that contains no graven images (9.9.1). This definition will permit the classification of the Hindu religion as a polytheistic religion. However, it does not take into account the fact that the swastika, the symbol of Hinduism, is a pagan symbol, which was invented centuries after the religions of pre-historic India. It is difficult to classify Hinduism as a non-Abrahamic religion because the Hindu deity, Hindu God, cannot be considered the sole creator of the universe, like God in Christianity. The Indian philosophy of Sanat Kumara, the avatars of Hinduism, believes that all existence is the result of the interaction of many cosmic forces. Hinduism, according to the sources of religious studies, which of course are not considered reliable, always tried to be the only true religion and to realize the world through the worship of the supreme god.

Hinduism, however, is considered to have been composed by one religious thinker, who was a Vedic scholar who founded the major philosophical school of Hinduism. Thus, Hindus usually reject the Jain claim of having existed in close connection with the historical Buddha and claim that they have emerged as a separate religion through the instruction and preaching of their guru, Ramakrishna. Ramakrishna, in turn, spent his life promoting Jainism. In its history, Hinduism did not dispute the existence of the Jain religion. However, Hindu religion and Jainism considered one another as rivals for almost a millennium before the arrival of the Hindu Vedic scholar, who is considered to have been the final authentic interpreter of the Vedas. Hinduism considers the life of the Jain saints as a mythical parallel to its own life.

In the context of the history of religious beliefs, a simple distinction between the Hindu and the Jain religions is often used to resolve the religious conflict in India. Jainism was a monotheistic religion that existed in India long before the arrival of the Hindus, Jains claim that, following the Mahabharata epic, their religion emerged and developed in close connection with Buddhism, which is why the Mahabharata is their religious scripture. 

Hinduism and Bhagwat Gita: Hinduism has been taught by the Gita (the sacred scripture of Hinduism, taught and written by Lord Krishna) for more than 2000 years and since ancient India. According to Gita Krishna tried to spread the message of God to other worlds. 

His most important message was: "The reality is Brahma and Brahmand who are in one, the whole universe is in one. So all your desires are all one, all your sufferings are all one, all your pain and all your pleasure are all one. That's why the suffering is continuous. You're called to overcome the misery of Brahman is your goal. For it is impossible for someone who suffers to find happiness. So God, whom you worship, wishes you to know the truth that only in union with God, all is One, all is One, all is One."

"As far as words can express the glory of Brahmand, so far have I delved into the essence of Shiva to express that of His ultimate form. And, as far as images can express the soul of Brahma, so have I. And, yet, my body, my eyes, my tongue are not the image of Brahman. For the essence is known only in Him."

"All the creations of the universe are one, each having a part, each having a function. And I am that which both is the work of all and yet has no function of the universe."

"Therefore, what is the Supreme God?"

Shiva is the Hindu God. God in all its forms is Brahmand. Shiva is one and yet it is many. Shiva is not determined by space, time, or place. Shiva is everywhere present, not only in this universe but in the universe of every non-perishable substance, in the non-existence, in the non-existence of time and non-existence of space."

Spirituality in Hinduism: It is the body that causes all disorder and death in the universe. It is self-destruction but has an aim to perform. That aim is rebirth in spiritual life. As the body is the cause of suffering, so the body is how one can attain freedom from the body. Another name for Shiva is Purusha. Purusha is a Sanskrit word that means "self, existence, and eternal," with a sense of infinite being. God is Purusha. Shiva is one and is everything, and all that is Purusha. Everything is God, including you.

Shiva is the eternal Lord. All are created by the universe. When Brahma created the universe, He created an infinite potentiality and infinite potentiality itself, but He does not create it. It is the universe that gives rise to form, to matter. This is the principle of cause and effect. The object of the world is Shiva. Purusha, Shiva is Atman. Atman is the spirit in the person. It is not another person. Atman, or the soul, is soul. Atman is the subtle fire within the person. It is this fire, the self-knowledge in your soul that is eternal. It is a force inside your being, that is eternal. 

For a person to reach nirvana, he has to recognize that he is a spiritual being. That recognition must be taken as a true and absolute statement. This is the highest goal of the spiritual life. Not only must one love one's God, the Supreme, but one must love his Self. One's Self is that self that is eternal. It is the Self that one recognizes. It is the Self in you, which is eternal, which is what you can recognize, that which is called the Self. This is the highest goal of the spiritual life. There are several similar ideas in other religions. Buddhism says that there is only one God, self, and one can be one with this self. One should not be two persons, or two beings, or two God. One can be one, or one part of that one, or you can try to become one. In other words, there is no choice, except the choice to see the Self.

That means that there is only one mind. That mind is the mind of God. There is only one Lord. There is only one Self. There is only one source. All is Shiva. The Self within you is God, is the spiritual being. That Self is a pure, refined form of the Shiva that is God. The higher we are, the more refined and pure we are. If we have more self, we are closer to the Self. If we have less self, we are further from the Self. And it is this purposeful evolution of spiritual consciousness, of holiness, of the soul, towards Shiva, which is eternal, that is the goal of the spiritual life.

This is the meaning of true religion, which is not just something religious but is the basis of spirituality. The soul has to be converted to the Self. This is one of the most fundamental concepts in spiritual life. There is only one God, and we are all His creation. The God in us is more real than the God in the heavens. If I believe in God, but do not turn my thoughts towards God, then I have not turned my life to God. If I believe in God, I turn my life to God. God is within all of us, and we must turn our lives towards God. We are so all-pervasive and all-pervasive in our thoughts, in our feelings, in our beliefs, in the actions that if we are not all-pervasive in our thoughts, we are all-pervasive in nothing. If we want to be most effective, the most effective way is to be the most all-pervasive in our thoughts, in our feelings, in our beliefs, in our actions. This is called soul evolution.

The spiritual life is this evolution from being one unit to becoming one whole, from individual identity to one unit, from one personality to one spiritual person, one totality.

The first step is to recognize the Self. We are all aware of the Self. We may deny or deny our Self. It is a false self. When we are committed to self-realization, we become aware of the Self. Self-realization is the cause of spiritual life.

The Self that we love and recognize is our soul. The soul is the conscious force of consciousness within the person. There are many types of souls. There is the Karmapa, a Tibetan monk who is in the past incarnation of one of the great monastics of Tibet. He is incarnated in the personality of a young man who will be called Karmapa in the future. He was educated in India and Switzerland and is now the main spiritual leader of Tibet. He is the main spiritual teacher of Tibet. He has mastered all these soul types. He is the one who is the leader, who teaches, who is the most effective, most effective teacher of the soul. He is not a real person, but a spiritual being. There are several such beings.

In the lower sphere, there are nonphysical souls. They may have the personality of men, of animals, of men and women, or other types. In the upper sphere are the physical souls. They are the material things that exist in this world.

Diversity in Hinduism: Gender roles, religion, caste, and another varna (class) are less than openly discussed, and instead, there is a greater emphasis on caste hierarchy and religious tradition in Hinduism. All these factors are inherent in the Hindu religious tradition.

Hinduism Perspective in Kauravas-Duryodhana War: Kaurava brothers are the invincible powerful. So naturally, they are already beyond the kama-nama-krita world of Asuras and the yagna (yagnya) religion. Hence Kauravas philosophy of the Hindu's religious system was superior to all. Hence, when Satyavan (the demigod son of Shiva) attacked yagna city, the destruction of Asuras at this time of the yagna was not just due to Satyavan’s (alleged) devilish and nasty might. Satyavan defeated Asuras because the teachings of the Hindu religion were superior to the Hindu religion. This is again a clear example of ‘khilam-sambuddhi’ (equality of religions), where not one but two religions of the time were equally respected.

The Animistic or Dream-Animal Religious Perspective in Kauravas-Duryodhana War: The viratas, kas (snakes), nagas, and Gandharvas had already been the guest of the three brothers, which was also seen through their great faith in Shiva. This belief meant that all these mythical beasts were given the status of divinities in Kauravas' religious thinking. This, as can be expected, made them subservient to the three great deities. 

Hence, there was a large section of yagna and sage yajna priests (which made up the majority of this section) who blindly trusted the three. The followers of Shiva knew that they had put all their trust in the biggest mistake that they can make in their faith.

Kauravas Religious Ideas (alleged): The legends that have been narrated of the war are those found in the short and slightly over-dramatic epics known as the Mahabharata and the Valmiki Ramayana.

Lack of focus on caste and other varnas (class) in Hinduism. women are perceived as fundamentally limited in the development of character in this path of life. However, in the scripture(mantras, yoga, etc) as well as in Hindu religious texts there is a fairly nuanced presentation of women, based on the idea that they are free spirits capable of living a joyful life free from all chains and bondage (tarka-cara-shuddha). 

There are several highly revered Hindu goddesses. Hindu women are also offered equal dignity and respect in the Hindu religious traditions. This is evident in the concept of the supreme ideal woman (Maa Durga), in the sense that all the divine powers of the goddess are given to the perfect embodiment of her power. There is no excuse for the establishment of an anti-women order and culture.

Religious Ideas in Hinduism (what is accepted as correct): It is important to note that historically the people of the region of ‘Dvaraka’ have an important role in shaping the politics and cultural traditions of India. Therefore, the new republic of India must account for the fact that major religious concepts in India were influenced by the people of ‘Dvaraka’. Thus we must in particular analyze and recognize the relationship between these religions in understanding the larger picture of the society and its political and cultural landscape.

Post-script: Due to lack of verification, it is more than obvious that the so-called “Dvaraka” religion of Hinduism is the Dharmic religion found in ‘Dvaraka’. Yet, Dharmic religion (as well as mainstream Hindu religion) have the same symbolic representation. Hence, those who portray the so-called Dharmic religion and the so-called Dharmic concept of religion as being entirely ‘unrelated’ to the so-called Jainism are outright liars.

Furthermore, the so-called “dvaraka” religion of Hinduism contains concepts that are closer to the Dharmic religion. For example, the concept of tarka-cara-shuddha, the spiritual concepts of nectar as well as the Yoga which is closely associated with dharma, is very much in keeping with the teachings of Jainism. In terms of defining samayas (moral obligations), the Jaina monastic code contains the same concepts as the so-called “Dvaraka” religion.

As can be seen, many things are completely fictitious in the so-called “Dvaraka” religion of Hinduism which was copied from the so-called “Dharmic religion”, and many very meaningful and positive concepts (e.g. harmony with nature, ahimsa (nonviolence), and compassion for all living creatures) which were not copied from Jainism but rather was from the so-called “Dharwad” religion.

So, the story that the so-called “Dvaraka” religion of Hinduism was originated from the Dharmic religion is an outright lie.

Hinduism and Rest of World: According to Dr. Thomas Macaulay- Hinduism spread in the world, not by migration.

Hinduism is a religion that became the dominant religion of India, accounting for most of the population in the subcontinent in the time of the Mahabharata, a thousand years ago, It spread into Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan. From where came this concept of Brahmanism!

In general, Brahmanism is not an Asian or Indo-European tradition but an East-Islamic tradition, which was borrowed from the religions of the Middle East. This part of the world has some tremendous achievements in the field of science and philosophy, but it also had a very long history of shamanism and mystery religions. Hinduism is an East-Islamic phenomenon but over time, Hindu traditions such as Tantrism and Shaivism have come to dominate.

Brahmanism is the Greek word for 'supernatural power', or 'God-nature'. Its meaning is not restricted to a single God, but a non-dualism of all things. The Hindu concept of Brahman is based on the belief in the Absolute Truth or Brahman. Brahman is beyond the world of causes and effects, beyond the realms of perception. Brahman is considered to be infinite, eternal, unreachable, independent, incomprehensible.

Like other religions, Brahmanism had conflicts with the societies it became dominant in. In the 20th century, Hinduism entered the West. Indian religions and spiritual practices were very different from Europe and the rest of the world. For example, Islam does not believe in any 'god' or being like Hinduism. However, this does not mean that the concept of the 'supreme being' and the belief in God is a new concept for the whole world.

In ancient times, humans had a strong need of being connected to their God. This need existed in every human society, regardless of religion. The connection was probably a mythical connection between the people and their supreme beings. The bible does not explicitly state that it is Christ or Jesus who is God.

However, Jesus is a charismatic man, who came to bring people back to the truth. He also emphasized the need to know his god or the 'anointed one'. In the holy books of Islam and Christianity, there are a lot of similarities and in the past, they probably knew each other. I do not know how this understanding came about. Today, in the west, it is not a theological issue. It is a popular concept in popular culture.

In Hinduism, the God of God is of the same nature as other Gods, but he is the first, and he will not follow other gods. 

What do you mean by 'love of God'? 

What about other gods?

Yes, some people are not happy with other Gods. But do you believe that they are Gods? If you believe in some power which is in every person, does not necessarily mean that it is a god. It could be intelligence, a force of nature, or even an enemy. Many people, if they feel they are oppressed by some other force, will join a church or some cult. If they find their god, they will never leave it. If they are in a jungle and there is a tiger or a big black snake that is threatening them, they will trust it more than a human who is helping them. They will become all the more aggressive.

Do you understand that when I say 'love of God', I do not mean that one has to obey the commands of God, or give a monetary donation, or adopt a certain behavior? This is true of religion in general. What I am saying is that when one has the feeling that God is leading you to something, you are to follow him. There is nothing about being passive, or following some divine order.

Hinduism at the End of the 19th Century: There is no doubt that many writers, and even some Hindus, have distanced themselves from the religion because of religious violence and intolerance. Hinduism, unlike Jainism, did not develop in a period of peace and harmony between the Hindu and the Jain people. The predominance of Hinduism was in consequence of the religious conflict and rivalry that resulted in many Hindu temples being destroyed and Jains expelled from their lands. Although it is argued that the decline of Jainism was the consequence of an organized movement of persecution and discrimination by the mainstream Hindu population, the statements of many contemporary academics, especially in the United States, testify to the great majority of Hindu believers who have a positive attitude to the Jain religion. 

The Hinduism that is recorded in the Hindu literature, that is, the religion as practiced by the ancient Hindus, was not the religion of the Jains. The distinction between the two religions is a fabrication of the medieval period and has no factual basis in the historical record. This religious difference between Jains and Hindus was created at the end of the 18th century in the context of British rule in India.

Many of the anti-Hindu doctrines (Section 2) of the colonial era were promulgated by members of the English parliament and the Western academia. The fundamentalist Hindus of India became very angry and violent when they realized that the Hindu Scriptures of the 4th century BCE and the later Vedic literature were being used by Western scholars and Christian missionaries to prove that the Hindu religion was a form of Christianity and as such a heresy. Therefore, instead of writing a tract on “How to stop cow-killings in India”, they created a division between themselves and the “West” and started to denounce western scholars and the Christian missionaries as “gay-monks”.

Modernized Hinduism Beliefs: Modern days Hinduism beliefs, predominate and have now become "spiritual" Hinduism, the various Hindu religions are merely a sub-set of this. In fact, in the most literal sense of the word, it can be said that all major religions in India have religious schools or denominations. One should also realize that while Christianity may have religious denominations and Hinduism may have religious schools or denominations, yet despite what may be called a "holistic" view of religion, where, for example, healing or miracles are equated with religiosity, a metaphysical or theological view of religion, being rather different in focus, is not necessarily exclusive of either of these but more likely inherent in both. 

Also, this holistic "whole" of religion may be defined as, the sum of all religions, or the various religious schools or denominations. Or even, the religious beliefs of every individual, depending on his or her intellectual level, philosophical viewpoint, and choice of spirituality, and practice. So while Hinduism may be a particular faith or of a particular denomination, it is most certainly not a complete and all-encompassing religiosity.

There is no Hindu religious unit that is set apart from all others by a particular belief, ritual, law, worship, sampradaya, guru, ethos, or spirituality. A Hindu does not belong to any particular faith. The modern-day "religious" understanding of "religion" is an old classical duality of "Deity" and "Man" that developed as a consequence of the debates between the three major branches of Indian thought - Vedanta, Yoga, and the Upanishads, although this basic Hindu duality is not found in the Upanishads itself and was later turned into a system of concepts by the Buddhist and Jain philosophers who did not deal with religion in the same manner.
