Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Please dont laugh...but today i was in a very funny situation. I met a local muslim gentleman, who likes Hinduism. He asked me to tell him about Gita, as to what is its philosophy. You know I was really in a fix...to explain Gita to a person who knows nothing abt karma rebirth etc. How would you have explained Gita to a person who knows nothing about Hinduism...without any technical terms. I know it is a bit difficult...but your answers will help me explain him when i meet him again next week.. with Love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 I would have told him in short, how it is different. I would have told him, Gita and Hinduism is the only religion which explains you all the paths available, and also explains you the benefits and suffering of each path. But at last, it never dictates you to do this or that. It SAYS US TO CHOOSE. everyone has good and bad parts in him, so Hinduism never says That bad doesn't exist, It says , that if a person has good and bad, god never minds for that, the only thing god minds is the path we choose. I would have also told him something about freedom of religion. as that is something exclusive to Hinduism and it is its pride. There is no other religion which teaches tolerance. This much should be adequate to a person who doesn't know the technicalities of Hinduism, to get started i guess... Hope doing so will ignite some interest in him at least. -- Deito Harirnama Harirnama Harirnama Kevalam. , " Aum " <beirut_ka_baba wrote: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Dear Aum, There is nothing to laugh here. When a person never knows anything about it. Think that a child is asking you. Do you think the child knows what is about hindus or hinduism. But we slowly tell them step by step. So think him as a small child and let him know.If he is not able to understand. Teach him with an examples. It will be easy for him to know well. Best wishes. Smiles, Sarvamaatha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
