Hinduism general

>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 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 light-skinned, nomadic "Aryan" Indo-European tribes invaded Northern India (circa 1500 BCE) 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
All the decadence of the world today has been predicted by Hinduism.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_Yuga

Prophesied events during a Kali Yuga

>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.

Bramha madhva Gaudiya Vaishnava here.

Would also add vedabase.com and purebhakti.com to the list.

They seem like iskon /vaishnav websites if they have good material I'll add them, but for the most part i dont like acknowledging them

What do you have against the vaishnava religion? There are four legitimate sampradayas.

According to the black guy at work, niggers sailed up the Nile River and populated and created Hinduism and Buddhism. (((THEY))) WK

>vaishnav
>religion
Exactly this, and iskon translations are quite inaccurate on purpose they try to teach Christianity through the Geeta ignoring a lot of concept that might appear foreign to westerners, I don't think this is all a mistake but a subversion if the religion although i respect the community aspect of iskon i dont wanna legitimise them any further

AY yo

...

Haha

>SAGE

ISKCON isn't the only institution for gaudiya vaishanvism. It's a legitimate tradition with many branches.

>Hinduism is the oldest organized religion in the world.
Can you prove Zoroastrianism isn't older?

green text great hindu legends.

Can you link me a copy of Geeta you would consider accurate, or some books written n. Gudiya vaishnav i associated them with the teachings of iskon
The religion is atleast 10,000 years old and according to our texts it's billions of years old

>Can you link me a copy of Geeta you would consider accurate

Translation and commentary by Srila Narayana Maharaja

That woundnt work out as they require a lot of context

then I can't convert.

You cannot convert anyways

How do I yoga?

Real yoga has more to do with meditation and devotion to god rather than physical postures. Bhagavad Gita would be a good start.

found this gem during a pol debate

Meme
What kind of yoga?

>Poo in loo

But in all seriousness I hope you BTFO Pakistan fuck those niggers.

i mean theres the ramayana, which is essentially a theologized version of the aryan conquest. Theres the mahabharata, ehich encompasses multiple legends. The thing is, the central tenet of hinduism, as in the ideology, is to do your duty, or dharma, thru whatever means necessary. Krishna told the hero arjuna to kill eevn his cousins for the betterment of the nation. I rmemeber reading somewhere that himmler justified gassing kikes on the basis of dharma

refer to

>ramayana
>theologized version of aryan conquest
What?

>dharma
Christians cannot into dharma.

So they can into loo.

Now if only they could clean up their filthy cities, and like I said, burn Pakistan to the ground, they would be fulfilling their best destiny.

>Hinduism is the oldest organized religion
Abrahamic monotheism is at least as old.

i read about that somewhere, how rama and lakhshmana symbolized aryans, monkeys symbolized sympathetic dravidian tribes, and the rakshasas led by ravana were dravidians

Cow shit religion

modi's doin that senpai. Hes tryna clean 70 year's worth of trash allowed to sit unadulterated by lazy socialists

Topkek, it doesn't though this is the kind of thing Indian sjw come up with to feel oppressed

ah ok thx bro.

>reading this much into symbolism
It was real.

I'm not into mysticism or spirituality too much but that Kali Yuga terrifies me. Renewed my faith a bit.

Wtf?

noice

Wrong. It's the oldest extant religion in the world.

bitch plz, it was an adulterated version of zoroastrianism

>A single concept of deity
Tawheed, Ash'ari, Mu'tazila
>A single holy text
Holy Quran
>A central religious authority
Caliphate, Ijma'

thats pisslam

Kkk
Well then the year 2025 will excite you

Dude Hanuman is the oldest super hero, and also the best. You may not recognize him in all his iterations, but that's him.

>he thinks Goku is an anime original
Goku's birthday, April 16th, was Hanuman Jayanti (Hanuman's birthday) in 1984, the year Dragonball was first published. Goku rides a nimbus, a cloud, and has an extendable pole, parodying Son Wukong, the Monkey King. Hanuman is the same, said to make clouds of dust when he jumps, with an extendable tail and the ability to become as small or large as he wants, with a playful character and eternal devotion to Sri Rama. After Rama's death, Hanuman is said to have sworn to stay on Earth and spread his message of dharma (and he probably made his way to China and created the legend of the Monkey King).

No, both Hinduism and Abrahamic religions can be realistically dated to around 3000 BC at the oldest it is impossible to say with certainty that one is older than the other.

No, but Zoroastrianism is also approximately as old and could also claim the title of oldest. It just gets ignored because it isn't a "world religion."

Yea i was just giving the proves in OP's favor. Islam is complicated as fuck.

Good post

cue the crying of christcucks in 3, 2, 1...

>t. amerilard

That's a bullshit number, basically the guy is using precursors to Hinduism and saying it is the same thing. Literally every other source will give a much more recent date.

already happened b4 your post

Stop using different standards.

I never said that, I said that Hinduism and Abrahamic monotheism (today branched into 3 main groups) can be traced to roughly 3000 bc. That is older than most would say for both of them and i am being generous to both.

I watched this video on Hinduism the other day. Really made me think

youtube.com/watch?v=_peUxE_BKcU

The Vedas are atleast 10,000 years old, their are Harappan town older than 3000 BC

I read about the Samsara a few days ago and it's terrifying. Needs to be better introduced to the west.

The West doesn't deserve any more.

Which caste is best at gang raping coreligionist women to death in the shit filled streets before going to a temple to commit flagrant idolatry?

Dalits; but they converted to Islam anyway because they have no dharma since they're practically animals.

if you channel your ki hard enough you won't be pajeets anymore

>he thinks we don't want to be pajeets
Unlike you, we don't pretend to be white. We're already Aryan.

Wrong, dalits aren't a caste. The correct answer is shit flinging brahmins

i'm just giving you shit because it's 6 am and I'm an alcoholic.
pajeets can take it because they can dish it out.

Doesn't really matter to me; I'm best caste.

Nice

Doesn't matter your color is still the same as shit

It's actually closer to the color of milk chocolate unless you have a GI problem.

Some old white hari krishna guy gave me some books. The gita, the science of self something-or-other and some other book. Are they good to get started with hinduism?

Kek 90 percent of pajeets dont look like that and also posting some random fag doesn't prove your color dumbfuck

Yeah, but you could always just watch the anime instead.

What are the name of the flowers in his collar?

Hanuman, I think is said to have been Shiva who incarnated as Hanuman to provide the world with an example of how following the Master/Servant relationship to God can lead one to Mukti/Moksha.

marigold.

Actually pic related is me.

Hanuman is an incarnation of Shiva to assist the 7th avatar of Vishnu (Rama) in restoring dharma

Ok no joke pic related is me

FUCK YOU RACIST FUCK IM HINDU

For a very tangential definition of Hinduism it is older than Zoroastrianism(Any theistic tradition in India, yes even abbo traditional religion that the vedic Aryans looked down upon is Hinduism)
However Hinduism might only be 1000 years old if you mean it to be the current bhakti tradition.
It's hard to exactly define what Hinduism is to begin with just shintoism(Which can be 100 or 10000 years old based on what you believe it is.)Dindus just use it as a rhetoric to lie about a great ancient past and we wuz.

What state?

Google Advaita Vedanta and Adi Shankara. Indian philosophy is far more sophisticated than anything Christianity has to offer.
