Hinduism is the best

You know the Latin Catholic will not enter to Syrian Catholic Church, 
These two will not enter to the Marthoma church, 
These three will not enter to penthacost church,
These four will not enter to Salvation army church, 
These five will not enter to 7th day Adventist church, 
These six will not enter to orthodox church, 
These seven will not enter to Jacobite church ? 
Like this there are 146 castes in Kerala alone for Christianity, 
Each will never share their churches for Christians ! 
Wonderful -- One Christ, One Bible, One Jehova?  What a unity!
 
Among Muslims, Shia and Sunni kill each other in all the Muslim countries. 
The religious riot in Muslim countries is always between these two. 
The Shia will not go to Sunni mosque, these two will not go to Ahamadiya
mosque, 
these three will not go to Sufi mosque, 
these four will not go to Mujahiddin mosque? 
Like this it appears there are 13 castes in among Muslims, 
Killing / bombing/conquering/ massacring each other! 
The American attack to the Muslim land of Iraq is fully supported by all the
Muslim countries surrounding Iraq! 
One Allah, One Quran, One Nabi?  Great unity!
 
For Hindus 1280 books, 10,000 commentaries, 
More than one million sub commentaries for these foundation books, 
330 million gods, variety of aacharas, 
Thousands of Rishies,
Hundreds of languages? 
Still everyone goes to the SAME TEMPLE?    
Never quarreled each other for the last ten thousand years in the name of
Religion.
Whether unity is for Hindus or in others? 
 
My choice :-  Hinduism - UNIQUE  and it stands for PEACE in the world and for
all mankind. 
 
 
by an American Author***.
 
It sounds TRUE - but what do you think ?

What is Hinduism?


Hinduism is essentially an Indian phenomenon. It is the dominant faith of India, practised by over 80% of the population. Since religion is a way of life in India, Hinduism forms an integral part of the entire Indian tradition.

 

It is not easy to define Hinduism, for it is much more than a religion in the Western sense. According to some scholars, Hinduism is not exactly a religion. Also known to practitioners as Sanatana Dharma, which means everlasting or eternal religion / truth / rule, Hinduism can best be defined as a way of life based on the teachings of ancient sages and scriptures like the Vedas and Upanishads. The word 'dharma' connotes "that which supports the universe" and effectively means any path of spiritual discipline which leads to God.

 

Hindu Dharma, as one scholar analogizes, can be compared to a fruit tree, with its roots (1) representing the Vedas and Vedantas, the thick trunk (2) symbolizing the spiritual experiences of numerous sages, gurus and saints, its branches (3) representing various theological traditions, and the fruit itself, in different shapes and sizes (4), symbolizing various sects and subsects. However, the concept of Hinduism defies a definite definition because of its uniqueness.
