Hindus do not worship stones, water etc 2. Hindus do not have numerous gods. What is usually translated as Gods in english are just deitys. Hindus believe in 1 God. All those different forms — like Vishnu or Shiva — are just different forms of the Supreme power.
They exist so that it is easier for people to choose a form they like and pray to that. Hinduism for children or something like that. Do you recomend anything? Who is Shiva, or Vishnu? These are some imaginary figures. How can a religion run on some imaginary stories? How can you personify that supreme power? Some fraudulent stories have made Hinduism artificial,unscientific. This is detrimental for mankind.
Structure of shivalinga evokes sex. This is dirty culture. So Hinduism based Indian society is dreadful. Religion should propagate scientific knowledge. This religion is childish, unnatural and dangerous for human civilization.
Why are you villanizing hinduism in particular? All religions start with a simple concept, perhaps a set of concepts, and then spiral into different interpretations like a game of telephone. Otherwise, how are there so many different sects and variations?
Forgive me if this sounds dismissive, but stories of all religions are ultimately false tales that act as a moral guideline. Same for hinduism, same for christianity, same for buddhism, islam. Pre Europe was heavily caste-based in the exact same general way India is stereotypically, with reformations only happening in the later half of the s during a late portion of the Enlightenment.
All humans are the same. Well said Ship and accurate! Im afraid you never meet with Christianity and Orthodox in first place… Big words about something that you just read somewhere and tried to understand it superficially.. Hinduism and Buddhism like previous comment said is filthy and deceptive..
It is my understanding that Hindu is not a religion at all but more of a cultural identity. That is the way Sadhguru defines it. Western ideals forced the label of religion on it. I apologize if I am wrong or offend anyone. Just my understanding. You are correct Kin. Actually the article wanna say that we pray water like Ganga River and stones which are given the shape of gods statues.
This is how Hindus worship water, stones indirectly. Just like that, Our Devta are many but our Bhagwan is one. Devta are the different types of one god only or you can say Devtas are the different forms of one god only like Brahma Ji originates from Lotus of Lord Vishnu. But you must believe in one ti obtain the Other. I read the Dead Sea Scrolls and yahshua describes his father as being ambiguous male and female refers to her as Sophia and how names are given to Heavenly Host so that we can follow the story.
You are absolutely right. Only one creator, one God. The other dirties are similar to what Christian angels are. I find so much beauty in Hindu beliefs. We believe that these are created by God and god is everywhere. And god is one not several in geeta Lord Krishna said that. Some one see god in plant so he worship plant same some one believe in stone Man , female , transgender, water, air ,sky and other.
In geeta Lord Krishna show his huge picture in which all god. Thank you. Actually Hindus believe in many gods they pray to millions. No friend, Buddhism is not on reincarnation, but on rebirth. I am not sure reincarnation is a special case of rebirth although. When someone dies, he dies. But his very powerful karma or his last karma it is series complex of things may give another birth in the the four hells, in human world, in one of six heavens or in a Brahmin world or will not give a birth if he had no any connection or possession in mind.
There must be a reason behind each thing. If there is nothing, there will be no result. In brahmin worlds, beings have either body or mind, not both.
However this rebirth is determined by karma in last last birth or some other factors, keen Buddhists know, but they cannot interprete, only Lord Buddha could. Buddhism temples are designed to represent the pure land or pure environment of a Buddha. The largest Buddhist temple in the world is Borobudur in Indonesia.

In Hinduism, Yoga is more than a series of postures to be held as a form of exercise. For example atman came with the Puranas but it was not mentioned in the original Rig Veda. Hence Buddhism doesn't contradict Hinduism; it just contradicts the Hinduism as it developed after the Rig Veda. Also the Pujas are just one way to practice achieving enlightenment not necessarily the true way.
The caste system only developed after the Rig Veda. But the Rig Veda only mentioned that people were born to a certain family. Thus they had to do what their parents did and make sacrifices to contribute to making the society great together. All the "castes" were supposed to be equal and treated with respect.
And even then one could move between castes if they were dissatisfied with their position in society. However, this was allowed only if they behaved or followed the teachings of the caste they wished to become since birth or childhood. This, too was convoluted and changed by Buddha's time. Even the animal sacrifices never existed originally nor mentioned in the Rig Veda. As such it can be said Buddhism developed and was influenced by the original Vedas.
Only reason Brahmins couldn't be killed was because back then each Brahmin specialized in a various school of Hinduism but because it was an oral tradition till alter on, if that Brahmin died without any successors than that entire school would be lost to history because only they knew how to understand it because the teaching was passed down to them since generations ago.
Why do you think so many schools of Hinduism were lost? Only one school of Rig Veda for example remains because invaders killed off many priests who practiced those schools, besides they couldn't own land and were only supposed to pray in temples. By the way yogic sages or true Hindu sages have to spend hours meditating; the yoga is not just postures.
At the same time it was meant as a way to improve the function of your body. Plus did you know their are schools of Hinduism that do not devote time to worship one god and believe only a universal god or energy existed. In fact the Vedic stories were there simply to explain how energy worked and its various forms. As such in Hinduism you can worship impersonal god or on your own do practices to achieve enlightenment.
As such no contradiction. Buddhism simply contradicts some forms of Hinduism and some Hindu schools. Or shall I say most? The Hindu concept of Dharma originally also was to explain how the universe works so no real contradiction their either.
