worshipping nature in its many forms. simple ga cheppalantey anthey. then talk about the five elements and how they are all brought into our practices. each God is either a representation of nature or a celebration of human nature.

Bharateeyudu, ---------------- of course GSN did not say his kids age.. ---------------- My kids are grown up kids and they are being asked by their friends about Hinduism and since they themselves can't explain it, they were arguing with me that Christianity is so simple to understand and how Hinduism can be explained in simple terms etc. I had NO SIMPLE ANSWER to explain Hinduism, hence this post. | ||

Thanks Bushu brother. Your explanation makes more sense as my daughter challenged me when I said I know everything about Hinduism, by asking me "What is ATMAN?". I never heard this, so couldn't answer. Thanks for the explanation. This is the problem as Hinduism is a concept and that too a hard one to understand in simple terms, it is very hard to explain it to children or uneducated, even though it makes PERFECT sense. | ||

Gsn1 The best way to explain kid is take example Toys ==> kids never stick to one toy they keep changing Buying new toys regularly. So you can say toys are different Shape color and functionally but njoyment and happiness That gives to you is called Hinduism Happiness and fun is there in each and every toy Hinduism is there in each and every thing in this universe Driving is my PASSION. Ball or Bimmer does not matter. | ||

on a serious note - All religions have sects with in itself - catholics, jacobites, protestants, baptists, southern baptists, lutherans... and so on. even in islam there are multiple schools - apart from the two main sects. although there are different sects, they agree on certain principles Jesus is THE LORD, 10 commandments and bible as the supreme authority and so on. In Islam Quran is the supreme authority ani namme sects untayi, and there are others who have inferences based on hadith and so on as equally valid. In hinduism, the philosophies are very diverse,but if we consider budhist, jain and other sects as different religions by themselves - hindus are supposed to accept vedas as the prime source of guidance in spiritual accepts. but then again, there is no enforcement of the principles - if you identify yourself as hindu - there is no one else who could say otherwise. obviously acceptance of vedas as a criteria is a relatively new phenomenon. | ||

Hinduism is a concept that originated from a deep understanding of nature. it's a set of rules that help us become one with nature. - fundamental belief is that all life came from nature(five elements, fire being the most important). so long as nature exists, life exists and nature's DNA is imprinted on life. this is the concept of atman, universal consciousness. this can neither be created nor destroyed as long as nature (five elements) is around us. hence, a soul can neither be created nor destroyed. so reincarnation. - just like the five elements can take any shape or form, this supreme atman can take any form. hence multiple gods. fundamental difference from other religions is in this belief in multiple channels to the athman. no single channel. reincarnation is just a logical extension with no proof. yet. | ||

Ok, if your way of defining religion is based on 'religious practice' , then you can as well define hinduism on the same lines, no? Like - if you believe in karma philosophy or perform regular pooja, then you are a hindu ani cheppochemo kada. The One and Only Veturi | ||

doing namaz 5 times means not islam... it is the duty of follower of islam.. same is with church... isnt there a difference between duty and religion... reincarnation is there for all religions born in india..its not unique to hinduism..  | ||

Gsn1 Similarly and maximum flexible way to say If some one is stick to one incarnation of God and follows Nothing wrong and he or she not rigid then automatically they Are called Hindu The moment any one rigid then they are no more Hinduism Here rigid means not accepting coexists theory.

but one thing seems to be true is reason is the basis of understanding.... as observed in db and real world... believers n non believers try to understand and argue things with reason.... but the premises and consistency of the logic employed changes . people tend to use simplest higher level abstractions to explain the unknown. | ||

Nisarga -------------- does it mean you did not understand Hinduism?? -------------- Yes. Can you answer me if someone (say a Muslim or a Christian) and tells he is a HINDU. How do you prove he is NOT a HINDU? Is there a definition? On the other hand if someone claims that he is a Muslim, you can ask him "do you perform Namaz 5 times a day"? If the answer is no, then he is not a muslim by definition. If someone claims that he is a Christian, you can ask him "do you go to churh regularly"? If the answer is no, then he is a not a practicing Christian. Like the above, is there a DEFINITION? | ||

Driver tambi, I agree with what you are saying, but the concept is so vague that it we can't properly define that THIS IS HINDUISM and this is a HINDU based on certain criteria. I am covering my lack of knowledge with saying that HINDUSIM is SO VAST and SO FLEXIBLE, it is not RIGID like other religions. | ||

Recently when my kids asked me to explain "what is Hinduism", I couldn't come up with a proper answer. All I could tell them was "Hinduism believes that THERE IS GOD in EVERY THING that is useful to human life". I couldn't come up with anything else. It is easy to define a Christian or a Muslim or a Jew, but how do you define a HINDU? Can anyone explain? |
