Some days back I read a book in which there was a great definition of Hinduism and
that was That it is not a religion but a Belief and also it is kind of
Intellectualism with a diversity of thoughts, literature and practices and the
basis and as par as the Hinduism thought on the life is concern so it is Soul has a Body where other says Body has a soul and that is why it has
a belief in the reincarnation (That is my Point of View) and Hinduism is also a
diverse culture because this has many discourse as well the biggest example is
Bhagwat Gita which is based on the Discourse by Arjuna and that leads to lot to
rise of Intellectual thoughts within the society and some of the points which
proves Hinduism a Pluralist, Intellectual and also a very wider thought society.
1. In
Hinduism the 9 forms of Goddess Durga were equally followed and worshipped like
the Trideva means Brahama Vishnu and Mahesha
2. In
Hinduism Lord Ganesha and Lord Hanuman (who have body like a human have but
there face is of Animals) were also worshipped
3. In
Hinduism there is Large population of Hindus who believes that Vedas are the
only truth but on the other hand we have Charvakas and also the Lingyats who believe
that Vedas are not a truth Infact charvakas supports atheism
4. There
are 4 vedas in Hinduism and they are Rig Veda, Sam Veda , Yajur Veda and Athar
Veda and also it has Upnishads and Bhagwat Gita
5. In
Hindus there are 33 Crores Gods and Goddess and each and everyone has some Importance.
6. In
Hinduism all the natural resources and elements are god like we have Pawan Dev,
Indra Dev, Agni Devi etc..
7.
There are 9 planets discovered by
the NASA in the Solar system but among these 9 7 are there in the jyotish shastra
by the names of Surya-Sun, Shani-Saturn, Chandra - Moon, Mangala-Mars,
Budh-Mercury,Guru-Jupiter,Shukra-Venus and Moon is Chandra and eclipse is
Rahu which was also very shocking for me as well.
8.
The Diversity of Thoughts and Ideas
shows the 1.89.1 of Rigveda says ''Aano bhadra krtavo yantu vishwatah'' means Let
noble thoughts come to me from all directions
9.
The Diversity of Hinduism in terms
of belief shows by this doha “ekam sat vipraekam sat vipra bahudha” means Truth
is one saints call it with many names.
10.
Hinduism is criticized for its
Varnashrama which some people says Caste system but the reality is that
Varnashram and Casteism are not same the Lord Krishna in Bhagwat Gita Ch 4
Sloka 13 said
CHATUR VARNYAM MAYAA SRISHTAM GUNA
KARMA VIBHAGASHAHA
TASYA KARTARAM API MAAM VIDDHI
AKARTARAM AVYAYAM
It says that he four-fold Varnas Like Brahman,
Kshtriya, Sudra and Vaishya has been created by Me according to the
differentiation of qualities and actions. Though I am the author, know Me as
non-doer and eternal. Which shows its differentiation from caste system because
the caste system is based on the birth but the varnashrama believes in Karma
and your inner qualities so this division of work is also fantastic
It is a very less Intro of the Hinduism in some
points and there is lot more to learn from this belief
