<< a hindu goes to a church or a mosque to pray >> sorry i have not seen or heard this. hindus have wonderfult temple of their own. a hindu may not mind going to a church or a mosque in case if he has to go with a nonhindu friend. but no, a hindu has no desire to enter a church or a mosque. what people belive there is different than what hinduism is. a gallible hindu may even get confused by going there.

<< But if his intentions are pure, he will realise that god exists. >> if his intention is purely to make us atheists, then he will take more time -several birth - to become a theist. sooer or later - even after many many births - one does become a theist. there is no eternal hell for any one, as we hindus know it.

<< Is there any way I could become a Hindu, >> Yes. Stop going to church or mosque. Go to hindu temples with faith. Assoiate with the hindus and the temple congragation. Read bhagabad gita every day, even a little bit, ifnot more. If you are very serious to live by hinduism, then become a disciple of a hindu swami or aacharya. More later after you do these. << as I truly believe in the Hindu faith. >> good! please share wht made you believe inhinduism? << Please could someone reply soon. >> why is it so urgenrt please?

BTW, assuming you really are antarjami, you must have learned everyting without going to school or to any person. right? how much you know about your self?

<< Do you think so guys, if it is so whatever we are doing in this forum is just waste of time? >> if you really believe so, then you are wasting time here. do you really believe all here will turn atheist by your preaching?

<< this is not true, they are simply behaving good >> by not following islam - not doing jihad like a good muslim nust do. so, then can easliy give islam. if all the muslims of palestine become jews, give up islam, then this bitter never ending fight there will end in a minute. the problem is that the hebrew are actually invaders well, it was their country some 2-3 thousand years ago. they were the slaves of arabs, and built the pyramids. then after moses' time they got scattered all over the world. others know better history about them than i do.

thanks! we need more hindus like you!

the reasons are complex. but, it is changing now.

very interesting! thanks. e... kok di kAthIawad ma bhUlo pad bhagavAn ... tane sarag dekhAdu shAmaLaa.

<< Our protest against tham is preceived by some as fanatics. how sad. >> yes. some hindus and others perceive it, some other brand it. the first kind are those gandhian cowards. they fail to understand that ahimsa is not an absolute principle in hinduism. and gandhi was a politician, not a saint like mira or tukaram. the others (xians an dmuslims, and some more) who are violent and fanatic want to have monopoly of being violent so that they can continue kicking the hindus in india. if the hindus pick up arms, then it would be difficult for them to kick them around. so they brand these hindus as fanatics. it is their way to delude them hindus to stay as cat and mouse, not lions. this, however, will not work any more.

i suggest, first read bhagavad gita. while reading, ask question for things you do not understand. hinduism is about freedom of thought, and truth, absolute truth, and it is about getting happy, permanelty. it is a complete science of spirituality. it is for all.

well, this this is good! then we need hindu gurus who would inspire local muslims to theach the arab world hoe to live in peace. still, the fact is that these muslims of dubai are not living per the word of koran and hadith, and that is why there is peace. being so, the hindu gurus i wish could encourage the muslims of dubai to give up islam. reason? why keep it when it is barbaric inprinciple? they will not loose anything by giving up islam. it does not matter if they pick another religion or not. but for them to say, "we are muslims", and not do jihad is hypocracy. after giving it up, some of them could encourage the arab world to do the same. if all the muslims of palestine become jews, give up islam, then this bitter never ending fight there will end in a minute. thus, there are solutions, but the ignorance and ego comes in the way. there are other solutions too, for the problem. thanks for the info.

<< 1) why there are so many gods in hinduism? >> this question is like "Why there are so many governers and mayors and departments in a country?" << 2) What are the major beliefs of Hinduism? >> we do not have beliefs. we have facts (truths of spiritual world) and differents ways to realise god and self. these are: bhakti, karma, gyan, dhyana, and buddhi yoga, sankhya yoga. << 3) Tell me more about the founder of Hinduism?>> god himself. we do not accept man-made religions simply because man is not perfect. god is. << 4) what does the holy book of Hinduim call? >>. the vedas, and its summary gita. now that you know it, what will you do with it please?

jai hanumaan gyaan guNa saagar jai kapIsha tihu loka ujaagar.

yes. however, aryan is not a perticular race. one who lives by the vedas is an aryan. sanatana dharma (the vedas) is not race oriented. it is for all, addresses all, benefits all who follow it.

prati chakshva vi chakshendras cha soma jaagR^itam . rakshobhyo vadham asyatam ashani yaatumadbhayaH ..## Rg. 7.104.25 ## O love-divine, may you and the Lord of resplendent severally watch, keep a vigil all around and cast forth your weapons at the malignant demoniac person and smite all of them with bolt who attack in disguise. Rg. 7.104.25

they are smart, materially only.

Rg. 7.62.2 The above is reworded below for easy understanding. Some words are added in parenthesis. Rise up before us (as we, with folded hands, behold you rise,) such as a self-luminous star, ocean, cosmic order and fire-divine, O sun with your glorious white beams as horses; declare us free from sin to Nature's bounties (so that the pleased Nature (Bhommi-devi) bless us with bounties.) -- This is totally different, and far better, from the xian world where they continuously commit sins (thousands of cow slaughter houses) and then ask jesus to wash their sins. it (a church) is like running a laundromat of sins.

<< I think there are some Hindu groups who don't believe in Ramayana and Mahabharata. >> no, not sects. but some individuals may be dumb enough to not believe them.

then i am happy. in the past, may be at other forum, i had hard debates about it. they would not understand kshatriya view point and totally reject it. thanks.

<< The Dalits are a poeple who are descended from Africans who were enslaved and brought to India. >> no. india has never brought slaves from out like american did. some muslims invaders did keep some local hindus as slaves. india, in the vedic times did have a system of slavery, but that was 'spiritual slavery'. they were calleed dasas and dasis. some familie voluntrily accept to serve full time to a king or rich families. their generatiosn even would do it. very faithfully. in return theres dasas and dasis were being taken care very well by the masters. there was no incidence of mis-treatment to them. there was no exploitation. no force. no robbing of freedom. ----- no on dalits. this term is used to political ends. some shudras want to remain shudras and wield their political power becaue current laws favor them, give them some more benefits. anti- hindus, i think xians mostly in inia, use these dalits to defame hindus and hinduism. dalit word means 'oppressed'. the constitution is against oppression. so, these dalits want to remain dalits to ask for more benefits and favorable treatment from gov. it is all political, and hurts theindu society as a whole. any shudra has freedom to become any othe caste based on qualification and qualities. no one forces them to remain shudra. but still they say "we are dalits" as it that is their eternal identity. dirty politics. never use the word dalit,use shudra instead. that may help to some extent.

<< What is the plural, is it Aaryas? >> it depends in what language you want plural. in sanskrit it is aaryaaH. in englush it is aaryas. etc. << Also why is it called India then? >> europeans called sindu 'indu' from it the word indus, and then india. that it british or eurpoean creation of the word. i am not the linguist though. some expert may have better explanation. << what is the relevance? >> the non hindu world has not cared to respect what the people of bharat name or say. they give any name they like for them, their history, their country, their religion, etc. burma's (now myanmar?) original name is brahma desh. vadodra city was called baroda by the brits. afghanistan's original name is gandhar. from it came the name kandahar. sri lanka retained itn name, but they calle it colombo, probably after columbus. to the many original people of america continent they called then 'red indians'. mumbai city was called bombay by them. thus the spirit and history of the hindus was being killed.

just curious. how many hindus live there? doing what they earn their living? do they dress and look like hindus or like the neighbor muslims? what attitude the muslims there have towards non muslims? are more hindus coming there or leaving from there? it is the community thta would find a right guru by direct contact. till they find one, may they read gita, ramayan, and mahabharat, etc.

gandhi made many hindus almost cowards. Hare Krishnas only produce first class brahmanas. their mission as given by prabhupada is that only. sometimes they fail to understand kshatriyas. but i admire them too. they are organized well, and we hindus need to organize when we have enemies (islam ) they undertand vaishnavism a lot better than many hindus. all hindus consider them hindus, but they say they are not. i wish HK's produce kshatriyas too. many fail to understand the pains of the hindus (sanatana dharmis). being brahmans, they fail to perceive terrorism problem they way kshatriyas perceive.
