Millions of Hindu women consider Navaratri the year’s central festival, the one they most deeply connect to. These nine days dedicated to Shakti, the Goddess, provide an opportunity to seek blessings and commune with their own divinity. It is a time for sacred gatherings, austerities, selfl ess acts and intimate prayers.

"A number of years ago, during a seminar with a group of Hindu university students, I asked the question, 'What is the goal of Hinduism?' They answered,“To realize the Self.” This, of course, is the correct answer. I then asked, 'How much progress did you make yesterday toward that goal?' The group grew silent. This lofty attainment, which takes many lifetimes, hardly relates to most people’s d...

"In Hindu philosophy, the idea that “God loves you” is present but enriched by profound subtlety. There is a strong emphasis on “You love God” and “God is love.” This slightly different focus provokes the devotee’s sincere effort to cultivate and intensify love of the Divine. "Before looking in more detail into deepening one’s love of God, let’s look first at a second Hindu concept, that of fai...

"One practice that most world’s religions share is having an ordained priest or minister conduct a religious service in a place of worship which lay members of the faith attend. In the Western (Abrahamic) religions, this takes place on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. In Eastern religions, there is no universally accepted day of the week on which adherents worship.

"On occasion i am asked, 'how would you define Hinduism? I am a Hindu, but I don’t know much about my religion.' An effective way of answering this question, I’ve found, is a short explanation of the purusharthas, the goals, or wealths, of the soul. Four in number-dharma, artha, kama and moksha-they form a cornerstone of Hindu ethics. These aspirations are found in the sankalpa, statement of in...
Merit Demerit and Liberation
Переглядів 901Рік тому
"In Hinduism, human conduct is summed up by two salient terms-papa and punya. Papa refers both to unethical action and the demerit earned through wrongdoing. Indian texts provide various lists of wrongful actions. Among all transgressions, injuring others, himsa, is considered the most serious offence. Conversely, refraining from injuring others, called ahimsa, is the foremost virtue. "

    Please make a video on how sikhism originated from Hindu sanatan dharma , due to need of time to defend contonous on slaught from the north west side of country by the radical islamist . 5 Hindu gurus came together from 5 different sides of BHarat like Bengal , Bihar , maharashtra , punjab and UP , so Sikhs are same as Hindus just a very special people with special duties to save dharma.
