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.

Okay, how does one achieve salvation inHinduism? And is that the same as reaching the top of the causal level i.e. Brahm.

What about it Jamal, it makes you uncomfortable?

You are born with your duty or dharma the actions you perform are your karma, the closer your kamra is to your dharma the easier it is to achieve moksha or salvation, the caste level thing was perpetuated by Buddist it dosent hold up to the texts

...

Basically you worship djinn, wallow in your own feces, and feel superior to people doing the same as you. Mustaches are involved for some reason.

Daily reminder that hinduism doesnt exits. Hinduism is nothing but casteism. Hinduism is a fake religion.

...

>djinn
Islam is based and Hwhite
>muh tree nigger
>muh outsider
>muh native Indians
Kys

...

Is there a god of poop and if so how many Indians worship it? Serious question

There's a holiday where instead of gang raping women they take a break and fuck shit caked men in wigs

Unironically yes, some rituals calls for certain gods to be made out of cow dung, which is pious to us, so yeah

Stop making these threads or atleast provide decent info and interesting concepts like vedanta, advaita, sankhya philosophy etc. instead of copypasting the same stuff over and over again

>an indian living in india
>says hinduism is not a madeup religion
hinduism what you call made up of hundreds of differrent sects and people do not marry outside of their sects. you aint going to fool me like you have fooled normies. basically hinduism is nothing but strictly following casteism. Their is no greater purpose in follow it.

Hey buddy

You cannot pollute the holy river by dumping corpses and shitting in it because it is holy and is therefore impossible to pollute. Drink and bathe away!

When Hindus invented underwear they just decided to quit entirely and become Sikhs.

Yes it's true. We all have different duties in society and all. Some castes eat nonveg and some refrain from it. It depends on what you seek the end goal is attaining brahman.

>it's sects
>sects of Christianity and Islam are different religion
>sects of Buddism are different religion
Wew, it's just the majority religion so you commie come up with stuff ro break the fabric and bring your revolution

>Muslims Christians and non-Talmudic Jews try to go to heaven
>Hindus aspire to a higher level of temporal autoshitsmearing

Faggotry and praying to an elephant who can masturbate eight people at once.

mr user why is krishna skin is blue?

...

Autoerotic coprophilia

Discussing the political and philosophical relevance of the religion?
>blue
It isn't blue, it's called artistic freedom

>artistic freedom

what do you mean by that?does hindu gods receives liberal art education?please explain it to me,don't joke

He hindu nuffin

The sanskrit word for krishna mean dark but is very closed to the word for blue, so some artist using their freedom depicted the god blue and it became a meme to westerners, that's about it

>doesn't accept Converts
It's a myth. There are notable ancient people and foreign tribes who became a part of vedic faith.

These were generally exiles from cultures that frown upon public defecation

>Implying open defecation is an issue among elites class
Pic related famous example of ancient Greek who converted. Also tribes like hunas, sakas became kshtriyas in ancient society.

>Jamal
Why have Africans not used elephants?

>Hinduism is a lifestyle and we are the gods.
Now go fuck off
