>What is Hinduism? Hinduism is the oldest organized religion in the world. It is the Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Law. It has no known origin and no founders - it is a synthesis of various Indian cultures and practices from as early as 4000 BCE.
Hinduism differs from Christianity and other Abrahamic religions in that it does not have:
>A single founder, >A specific theological system, >A single concept of deity, >A single holy text, >A single system of morality, >A central religious authority, >The concept of a prophet.
Hinduism is neither polytheistic, monotheistic, trinitarian or henotheistic, yet it is all at the same time.
The development of Hinduism was influenced by many invasions over thousands of years. The major influences occurred when nomadic "Aryan" Indo-European tribes invaded Northern India from the steppes of Russia and Central Asia. They brought with them their religion of Vedism. These beliefs mingled with the more advanced, indigenous Indian native beliefs, often called the "Indus valley culture." >Political Significance of Hinduism in this Age
All the decadence of the world today has been predicted by Hinduism.
>Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly. >Rulers will no longer see it as their duty to promote spirituality, or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world. >People will start migrating, seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source. >At the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen of the three higher varnas [temperament] and when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser.
Kali Yuga with regard to human relationships
>Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other. Ignorance of dharma will occur. >People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that. >Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life. >Sin will increase exponentially, while virtue will fade and cease to flourish. >People will take vows and break them soon after. >People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks and drugs. >Teachers will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted, and followers of Kama(lust) will wrest control of the mind from all human beings. Resources

Bumping because this is an original thread for once (on pol that is, i know this thread is always on /x/)
Grayson Garcia
Checked; eat vegetarian food for a week and meditate on those who love you and those whom you love. Find an answer to bring those people together that you are happy with. Do as such, and remember dharma lives within you. Any religion/political belief that tells you to be sad is a false god, and any religion/political belief that promises happiness in the next life is lying to get what it wants. Live in the now, and bring happiness to yourself and others.

It's namaskaram at night, fool. Stay righteous.
Savitri Devi is a nazi sympathizer, and so her texts are colored. Not a judgment on good or bad, just saying it's coming from an angle.
Have you read the full mahabharat? It's roughly as long as the Lord of the Rings and gives a lot of color to the political statements made in the Gita.

The 10th incarnation of Vishnu, in conjuction with Shiva, is prophesied to bring the world out of the Kali Yuga and back to a state of righteousness and healthy interaction between people once again, after a cataclysmic war that leaves the majority of humans dead.
Personally, I think we just need to de-radicalize politics, but I'm game for war. I can't stand observant Muslims; they deserve the axe.

Question: What is the historical order of progression in Hindu scripture?
Or do they follow a different chronological order?
Carter Wilson
I have read bagavad gita a few times and what I don't understand is, if everything is god and god is in everything, why can't you eat meat? What's with all the veg shit?
Unrelated but poo-related: why the FUCK do Indians eat wet food with their hands like savages? I enjoy the poo friends I have a lot but the food thing is so fucking disgusting.
Jace Kelly
Fatty Shiva bump. Bet you wish you could NEET this hard
Kayden Powell
That's a tough question. Technically, the Gita and Mahabharat and Ramayana are technically divinely inspired scriptures and hold precedent over the Vedas and Upanishads, but technically the Vedas was inscribed at an earlier archaeological date relative to the Ramayana and Mahabharat.
Nobody said you can't eat meat. You should not consume the flesh of another being without purpose; i.e. if you're not trying to bulk up don't eat 3 steaks a day.
>wet food with their hands If your biggest disagreement with a culture is the utensils with which they eat their food, you should consider having a fork/spoon on hand.

Sai Baba is a good friend but not a prophet. The last canon "prophet" of Hinduism is Krishna, and arguably Siddartha Gautama the Buddha. Any man may speak dharma, but to claim the birthright from God Himself requires more than a mere mortal can do.

Here's a real redpill copypasta from a discussion between a friend and I: >You don't understand; the hatred the average white American has is the same as the caste system. You see, instead of differentiating society based on race, we gave them caste instead. Thus, to us, it isn't a nigger uprising, it's the natural ebb and flow of the lower castes. Does that mean a low caste individual cannot be "le based black man"? Absolutely not, but we demand more than a nigger in a red hat. Similarly, the "based Aryan" requires more than screaming "white nationalism" and flying an NSDAP flag, we require action. Those who can do, will. Those who cannot, are forever destined to live in books but nothing more. This is where the Hindu Aryan society has surpassed it's white brethren; for those who still claim allegiance to Hitler; however one feels about him, are no longer in sync with the modern political reality nor are they adequately cognizant of the human spirit; the worthy black male may surpass expectations and truly be an ally; similarly the "aryan" male may completely fail expectations and drive a car into innocents. Why should we judge based on skin color; when deeds fully color the real worth of the individual? Would the lord himself endorse such a crude worldview?

Blacks are dumber than other races;
>en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcephalin >Microcephalin (MCPH1) is a gene that is expressed during fetal brain development. Certain mutations in MCPH1, when homozygous, cause primary microcephaly—a severely diminished brain >A derived form of MCPH1 called haplogroup D appeared about 37,000 years ago (any time between 14,000 and 60,000 years ago) and has spread to become the most common form of microcephalin throughout the world except Sub-Saharan Africa >Haplogroup D may have originated from a lineage separated from modern humans approximately 1.1 million years ago and later introgressed into humans
YRI, LWK and MKK are all African populations, and ASW is the acronym for American blacks.
If you look at pic related, you can see that CC only exists in Africans.
Only homozygotic Africans express microcephaly, but the point is that the CC homozygote genotype only exists in African populations. The low IQ's of every sub-Saharan African country is the evidence required to prove that blacks are clincally retarded, and that the C allele is associated with low IQ - as you can see, AC is also almost entirely limited to the African populations.

Buddhist here. Hinduism cannot lead you to final liberation but it's still an eminently valid path that I deeply respect.
Dylan Adams
I believe all people should follow the spirituality of their own folk. Indra and Thor, from my knowledge, are essentially the same deity. Most heathens view the deities as a mixture of a pantheon of Gods, but also as an archetype of nature, where attributes are given to pieces of nature, where people specialise in the worship of the piece of nature that speaks more closely to them. But, in the end, it is all one force. We are all the Lotus and we are Yggdrasil.
To put it in the simplest terms, Hinduism and Eastern religions believe the immortal soul is differentiable and distinguished from the mortal soul which "owns" the body.
We believe the dharma, the universal law which governs the prevalence of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and truth over lies, is ever present in the universal soul.
We believe the righteous soul, one "with dharma", will spread dharma, the "universal righteousness which all souls acknowledge", and defeat adharma, the unrighteous.
For best or for worst, the core texts of our religion come from the Gita, the sacred words uttered by Krishna to Arjuna, a warrior aligned with dharma, on the Kurakshetra battlefield to motive him killing his own family. Dharma is absolute, it does not waver.
Alternatively, if you would like a cinematic experience, I recommend Bahubali and Bahubali 2, available on (((You)))Tube with english closed captions.

Chakra Budhists are all about learning more and more. But if you are more focused on your chakras in reality you are only using your 7th chakra and in the end you feel empty. In Zen you realize everything in your life is an illusion created by your perception of things, whenever you stop trying ,there you are...

Daniel Diaz

Hunter Gray
It is not our goal to draw distinction between races, but rather bring all races closer to Dharma, the universal truth.
>lust >degeneracy These are concepts of the Christcucks. Dharma knows no such idea. While it is unwise to think with the penis, no Hindu god would punish you for it. Rather, you will be punished by karma, for failing to understand your materialist lust was always doomed to dust and saggy titties.
Dharma never says fuck off we're full; rather that "he who can, will create a space for those who need". That is dharma.
Lose your nazi flag and it would be more believable.
Lincoln Parker

I just want to say that I find contemplating the position of Arjuna in the Gita is absolutely amazing. On tier with Kierkegaard's musing on Abraham.
Imagine you are there, readying for a battle you do not want to fight. You are fighting your own family. And god is there, telling you you will win. How do you do a thing you do not want to do even knowing, perhaps especially because you know, that you will succeed?
This is a small eye into sheer existential terror in my opinion.
Jack Richardson
Most likely because for hundreds of years Europe was agriculturally unproductive without modern irrigation and crop rotation techniques. To be fair, the caste system really was part of European society, except rather than being known as "brahmin, kshatriya, vaishya" etc they were known as "priesthood, nobility, peasants" etc. The entire French revolution can be understood as a low-caste revolution.
Kevin Ramirez

We practice eugenics. Basically, find excellent people, and form a reproductively isolated population. Practice strict religion;
>8. The husband, after conception by his wife, becomes an embryo and is born again of her; for that is the wifehood of a wife (gaya), that he is born (gayate) again by her. >9. As the male is to whom a wife cleaves, even so is the son whom she brings forth; let him therefore carefully guard his wife, in order to keep his offspring pure
See . Note the 1.1 million year figure - relate this to Hindu chronology. Everyone here should read 'Forbidden Archeology' - a PDF can be found here;
>indybay.org/uploads/2011/04/17/cosmicserp.pdf >Then, a few pages away, another shaman is quoted as saying: "At the very beginning, before the birth of the earth, this earth here, our most distant ancestors lived on another earth " >When they say the recipe for curare was given to them by the beings who created life, they are talking literally- When they say their knowledge comes from beings they see in their hallucinations, their words mean exactly what they say

Carson Martin
what are hindus view of sin ?
Isaac Ortiz
>he wants to be Hindu Then do it, user. No one is telling you what to do or be to be "Hindu", whatever that is. Rather, we are saying live a full life and be what you believe in.
>cycle of rebirth To put it simply; those who are absolved of their worldly karma become enlightened, i.e. are able to see past the karma of others and recognize the dharma within.
Sin is a human concept, and is judged by humans. Those who appreciate karma, the "original sin" of the individualized perception of the world, are able to appreciate a world beyond karma and free of sin.
Adrian Gomez
>It is not our goal to draw distinction between races, but rather bring all races closer to Dharma, the universal truth
Within Hinduism, the word 'Brahman' means 'Original reality.' Your 'Atman' is your original self, and depending on the school might be Shiva, Krishna or whatever else.
I've seen my Brahman, and my Atman was hanging out in the garden. Let me tell you - I was white. It's my dharma to produce white people, and to use eugenics to pursue to reconstruction of my Brahman and Atman.
I don't support any form of hatred - I just insist on using Jnana yoga to find my way back home, and today that means genetics. I think we can use this information to re-acquire the longer lifespans and superior bodies and minds of prior ages.

Brody Gray
Karma almost appears to be a metaphysical cause and effect, but dharma seems to represent the intrinsic metaphysical nature of something. I'd lke to know more about this, if possible.
Hunter Ward
ISIS is without dharma; they prohibit knowledge itself and oppress individuals solely for their beliefs. A true follower of dharma knows no knowledge nor belief is forbidden; only action upon those beliefs that is inconsistent with dharma and righteousness. All individuals can be taught, but to teach hatred and intolerance rather than enlightenment and understanding only leads to self-destructive tendencies. Let the light of Krishna shine through you, and in so doing let it reflect off those around you.
The Mahabharat and Ramayana are great starting points. I recommend Bahubali as a cinematic adventure into Dharmic civilization. At the end of the day, nobody will tell you how to live in harmony with dharma. Rather, you will choose the dharma you can remain in harmony with.
James Brooks
dharma here as used by my cunt means mandate or guidance.
Carter Morales
Any movies I could watch?
Fuck the flag of fascism. I'm only caring about spirituality from now on.
Kevin Jackson
There is nothing to explain. If your heart calls for the oppression of thought and individuals, you are of weak dharma. If your heart allows anyone to express their beliefs, and in spite of that knows social progress requires a certain belief, you are of strong dharma. See it through, with 100% of your effort. Anything less would be the same as being a kike shill, willing to "believe" as long as it didn't require putting your own skin on the table. Be a hero, be like Ram.
Jayden Edwards
Have a copy pasta of a previous discussion: >If you go to a very uneducated village, they will say they are literally dressing up the idol of god and bathing him with milk, literally. If you go to a very educated person and ask about hinduism, they'll give you a long explanation of dharma and how the collective "consciousness" is akin to a universal stream that the individual soul is merely a reflection of, and that to be truly happy/peaceful/nirvana you need to achieve unification of the universal consciousness and the self soul. It's a religion that accommodates your spiritual development. >My personal belief is that the universe has a natural path, dharma, which is simultaneously the product of the will/consciousness of mankind reflected onto nature, and the reflection of the natural environment back on man, "fate". All individuals perceive this reality, and from birth form their self-soul, the personalized reflection of the universal consciousness because of the coloring of karma. Karma is the emotional baggage because you are the protagonist of your own story, if you will, and so everything that happens is colored/dirtied by how you interpret it's effect on you, which makes the self-soul a cloudier reflection of the true universe. By expanding your consciousness through meditation, patience, and experience you can free yourself of karma and have a sharper understanding of the universal soul, which in turn makes you more able to project your own will onto it.

Our culture/religion is about elevating the spiritual soul to its highest ability. Whether or not your particular vision of human society is the second consideration, rather, the first matter of importance is teaching you only YOU can create your change, and whether or not that is of any value at all depends on how many you can attract to your cause and message. We are here to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and when the need arises the Lord Vishnu himself will materialize as an incarnation to protect dharma and righteousness.
Landon Bailey
