You give a good view of SanÄtana Dharma and explain how it compatible with all and the reason it has thrived for so long but you don't show equal faith in it.
What are your views on some of the current hindutav promoters enjoying media light mainly Yogi Adityanath who may be a yogi but his head is never calm, Shankaracharya giving weird comments about Sai Baba and his followers and also dividing human race categorising them as per religion instead of Karma, as well as Retard RSS and VHP, Do you think their views of faith even comply with the principles of Hindu faith teachings.
A question that you didn't answer. Is it just that Subcontinetal people by default are tagged Hindu or were the majority of ancient India were Hindus as well?
Also this thing called Caste which is given to people who are converted by RSS/VHP. I have not known Hinduism mentioning or promoting caste sytem. Does caste actually comes from Hindu scriptures?
I don't "show" faith because my "Hinduism" is different from yours and most other peoples Hinduism.
Adityanath , Shankaracharya etc are as I said a necessary evil. Morons they are but they are needed, simply because they cater to a class of people that need them, and they survive because their services are needed. if that sounds like tautology to you , it is because it is. If you imagine hinduism as a group with as divergent a views as possible then you will see that all ideas will have buyers because people are there on every spectrum of belief. I don't need any baba/guru and there are ideas geared to my beliefs too.
Hindus in US are more educated in certain areas as well way higher income compared to average american but that's not necessarily an effect of Hinduism. Why? Look at our income in India. Less than a dollar for millions of people. It's the people who don't find better education and opportunities but are hard working leave to foreign nation and thus the difference. It does not show effect of hinduism.
Tell me. Who is a Hindu? All the natives of Indian subcontinent or the people who follow hindu scriptures and Shastra or does it also include all the people who identify themselves as hindu even if they don't follow hindu the preachings of Hindu scriptures or someone else?
On US Hindus- Open the thread and read about it. There are two differences between US Hindu's and other populations - religion and race. So its either religion/culture(in hinduism they are the same) or race. Hindus also have the lowest case of conversions and intermarriages with other races ( 6% i think) . Why do you think it is ??? Tell you what , open that thread and see how Hindus beat pretty much everything and everyone including Jews.
On Hindus being poor in INDIA- That my friend is the effect of one thousand years of Genocide and colonization in the physical realm and corruption of belief system in the spiritual realm that probably began before the genocide stuff. See the growing middle class and its religious practices and compare it to the economically lower class. World of difference. My grandpa was a vadapav seller and today I am fluent in 3 languages and intermediate in a fourth European language. Also most "lower cast" people have a perpetual victim complex against higer casts .... all of it may not be false , but it surly is not valid now ... anyway when stricter and different practices of hinduism are referred to as "Brahmanism" and an US vs them dynamic is set up to fight "oppression" you get a set of perpetual morons. No different from Pakis blaming "CIA/RAW/MOSSAD" for $hitty things they do to each other.
On CAST- cast is neither mentioned in the vedas or geeta , it was introduced with the
manusmriti. so
according to authority there is no cast in Hinduism e.g. Arya samaj is cast less.
On Who is HINDU -
Thats a tough one as there is no authority to say so . If you want REAL Hinduism , uncorrupted by The three ideologies then very very few (note I say this immaterial of cast or region).
Wish everyone understood that. So many hate and differences within our society will be solved. That's the best answer.
LOL this is another of that "all religions are same only" bullshit. Not that it is factually incorrect , but that is something people say because they don't know what to say and it feel so right to say. It is utterly disgusting when I read how Koran was read in a temple and $hit. but I am sure 99% people feel good and derive their "secular badge" from this idotic crap.
Here is a thought for you ... why are india & Pak so different ? ans: Hinduism . As soon as it was wiped out from Pak , it was just a downward slide ...lol language , most cultural things and food all is same but one place is a hopeless hellhole. Don't put it on secularism now .... lol even BD is secular.
MY ADVISE TO YOU - Read and explore different ideas and meet LOTS of people. .... you are looking for your place in Hinduism and your beliefs are not solidified. It is a wonderful journey (it was for me lol) and stay away from mainstream anti hindu propaganda.
and started puja every Idol so millions of gods. Until unless we recognize this fact we will suffer with ignorance of EVERYTHING is in Vedas,Indians mfd flights 70000 BC bla bla bla.
