Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 Roseanna , As you would be knowing about Hinduism , Our theology beleives in Live and Let Live. We dont force anyone to become hindus and also we dont stop anyone from moving away from hinduism . Thats what I like in our religion. Its unlike other religions , beleive me . Tomorrow , if you go to any temple and ask the poojari to convert you to Hindu , i am sure the poojari will have a tough time to think as to what mantras to say and what pooja to do as its not in our religion to Convert. U need not be a hindu to go to a temple and beleive in Hindu Gods.Our religion is open to all. G-d Says Hinduism is For Sick Minds , Let me explain why Hinduism is great : 1) We dont have ant time bound unlike others , God is there for us whenever we want him not just a particular Day and a particular time . 2) Unlike Christanity whose theology is that we are all sinners since the first guy was a sinner . So we should all pray for forgiveness .our theology is much much stronger. Cant imagine living as a sinner throught and doing confessions everytime . 3) Hinduism , we concentrate on the teachings of the person , and the good qualities we should get from that particular person . Very few people will know how Krishna Died. ( He was shot an arrow in leg by a hunter who thought krishnas sweet feet to be a dear) My point is we dont see krishna temple with even a picture of him with an arrow in his leg . We concentrate on his important life. 4) Sex , In hinduism , sex is not a Taboo . We still have some temples in KArnataka which is abt SEx . Also in all the Ancient monuments like ajanta Elora u will see all the ladies , in others its considerd as a taboo . Hence the priest is not allowed to marry , he has to lead a celibal life . Also the thought that Jesus was born thru Virgin Mary shows how SEx is considered in other religion. I understand that Hinduism might lose its charm cos if the rituals , but beleive me No philosophy is as good as hindu Philosophy .

maadhav Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 << 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?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 if u belive there is a god, don't listen to anyone. If u listen to someone, u will be cornered to make a mistake (cause u don't know if someone will lead you the wrong way). If u belive there is a creator, belive that and be open. Don't say that anything is wrong and something is right.. just be ready for what will come to you. If u speak to "the creator", don't u think he/she will hear you? =) Don't speak to ONE "god" or creator of all this, speak to what it/he/she/that is.. Ones u choose someone, u might be talking to air =) Take Care =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
