As a catholic I know that sperm that is released without the intention of getting a female pregnant is wrong, and keep in mind the female has to be married to you.\nI don't know about the other religions.  \nJust without the religious aspect it is good to release yourself, if you don't it could cause problems if it builds up.

Hinduism does not follow any particular book, there is no book equivalent to the christian  bible or the islamic koran. But the bhagvadgita is a holy book, u should maybe read that but it isnt really about hinduism...But read it anyway, its a good thing to read and u will start to get an idea abt hinduism.

One religion hmmm this is intresting, i guess that i would pick commandments that focused on helping others and promoting a society that attempts to help others, Christanity has some good guidelines in that department, also eastern religions focus on an idividuals place in the world definitly useful. Just stay away from the dietary laws... i like food in general.

Possibly but mostly by people of other religions.

Yes of course. You should think whatever feels best to you. I do believe God is happy that everyone is worshiping Him no matter which religion they choose. I personally like to take a little taste from everything available at the religion buffet.

Christianity, Buddhism, Muslim, Jewish, Wicca, Paganism, Hinduism, Scientology, Mormonism, I continually study religion, it is one of my great passions. You can't have a good conversation on religion unless you know what the person you are talking to is talking about.

Hinduism is the term used to describe the vast diverse religious thought that is based upon the Vedas and has its history in ancient India. It's also the religion I practice.\n\nIt is the oldest religion in the world and the third largest religion in terms of the number of followers (about 3 billion). Most of the followers of Hinduism live in India where it is the major religion, but Hindus are not just in India and do not just have to be of Indian origin (my family's primary ancestry is Welsh...I have no connections to Indian ancestry). Hinduism is also the official state religion of the nation of Nepal (the only nation where Hinduism is the official state religion). Hinduism is also dominate (largerly followed and practiced) in parts of Malaysia and Indonesia.

They don't do it with Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, or Islam.  It must be something about Christianity.

Yes, it is the oldest continuing religion on Earth. The Rig Veda is the oldest sacred text in the world (first written down in about 5000BCE, but before this time it was merely memorized and chanted). \n\nThe most liberal? Perhaps it should be said that it is the most tolerant. Some denominations and sects and subsects of Hinduism could definately be defined as liberal, but some denominations, sects, and subsects can be very conservative, or orthodox, or traditional. So it varies...but they are all very tolerant. In fact, tolerance and respect are the rule rather than the exception. It is rare that Hindu sects, denominations, and subsects are intolerant or disrespectful. In the past Hinduism was extremely liberal compared to many religions during its time, but with the invasions of other religions and cultures into India, and the eventual colonization of India by the British...the influence and sometimes forced acceptance of those cultures, laws, and norms did have some effects on Hinduism. Many of the sages who is said to have written the Rig Veda were women, as well as men. \n\nAgain, though, "liberal" depends greatly on the individual denominations, sects, and subsects...the individual gurus, the individual temples and priests. It varies as to just how liberal they are. Many in India are trying to preserve the traditions while at the same time feeling the forces of western materialism taking its effects. This has caused there to be "fundamentalist" Hindus there. Hindus in the west (both of Indian origin and those who adopt Hinduism but aren't from India) often are much more liberal than even the "liberal" Hindus in India (although there are exceptions to some groups here in the west and even to those in India where there are groups there that are sometimes even more liberal than those in the west..so there are exceptions). \n\nSome great resources on Hinduism:\n\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/religion\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org\nhttp://www.galva108.org\nhttp://www.westernhindu.com\nhttp://www.beliefnet.com\nhttp://www.sacred-texts.com

That's a very good question.  The answer is that all of the religions in the world are equally valid, because they all teach the same things.  The symbolisim is what's important, and if you take the time to find it, any religion will work for you.

Everyone is equal in the eyes of God, whether Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jew, or any other faith.\n\nThere is nothing in Hindu scriptures which says people of other faiths cannot enter temples for worship. It is only individuals who create their own interpretations of scriptures and mis-guide others for ulterior motives.\n\nQuote from Bhagvad Gita:\nvidya vinaya sampanne\nbrahmane gavi hastini\nsuni caiva sva pake ca\npanditah sama darsinah\n\ntranslation:\nThe humble sages, by virtue of true knowledge, see with equal vision a learned and gentle brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog and also an outcaste.\n\nSo, go before any God/Allah/Ishwar/Khodai with a pure heart and then it does not matter whether you visit a Hindu temple, a Muslim masjid or a Christian church.\n\nHope that answers your question.

I am a Hindu. It is against my religion to try to convert you to Hinduism and it is even more spiritually damaging for me to try to explain to you what I have experienced and understood of God. Hindus say that God is infinite...vast...big....and because of this each of us merely gets a glimpse of the whole, we only touch a small portion of the whole. \n\nThe story that is often used is about three blind men who each walk into the forest and come across an elephant. The first blind man comes across the elephant but is only able to touch the elephant's tail. The second comes to the elephant and is only able to touch the elephants nose before it runs back into the forest and the third only gets to touch its ears. Each of these three goes back to their respective villages where the people have never seen an elephant and tell about what they experienced. Is any of their experiences invalid? God is like the elephant and we are like the blind men who only touched a part of the elephant. Each of our experiences, our understandings, is valid for us. Therefore what I say about God is from my own experiences and understandings. You should search your own experiences and understandings. Perhaps God is not the in the personal form for you. Perhaps you see beyond the need for forms and names and divinity and see the Impersonal, formless, nameless One. Whatever it is, it is.\n\nThe Upanishads talk a lot about Brahman (the term they use for both the impersonal and personal form of the One...the Ultimate Reality, Cosmic Consciousness, etc). The question is asked "How do we know that Brahman is real?" and the answer comes that "You exist, therefore Brahman exists." This is better understood when you consider that the text has up to this point said that the entire universe came out of Brahman and that the Atman (usually translated as soul in English) within each of us is also Brahman...everything is Brahman and yet Brahman also pervades the universe. You could say, from a scientific viewpoint that Brahman was what was before the Big Bang (and even science can't really describe what that is and thus Hindus say that we as humans can often experience it, but cannot usually put it into words). The three words that come up in Hinduism a lot for Brahman are sat-cit-ananda (being-consciousness-bliss). In Buddhism and Jainism they talk about the Void, the Nothingness...as the terms are translated. Yet in every sense the Void, the Nothingness, the One...Brahman...etc....this is God, too.\n\nIn the words of eastern religions: search for yourself, test what you hear, and if it does not work for you, move on.\n\nPeace.

Anything can shake a weak religion.  that z why they try to change whole world to their relgion so that no one questions\n\nchrist was in India and learnt Yoga there.  It is a truth

A very good question.  \n\nMuch debate has gone up about the POLYTHEISTIC nature of Hindu.  The religion is known to have so many gods it is debated that there is no god at all to Hindu (among western academics), though it is so obviously a religion.\n\nGodhead is the name for the form of god in Hindu.  Godhead is in all things, all objects, all shapes, and all places.  In Hindu, god is worshipped in many shapes, the shapes of the many gods, and yet it is a general, universal god they celebrate, even though it is multitudes of gods.\n\nI understood it best when I heard a (poor) translation of a Hindu prayer, I will try to recall here: \n\n"God forgive me for these sins I commit, \nFor I am human.  \n\nYou are in all things, \nAnd I worship you in these things, \nYou are in all forms \nAnd I worship you in this form, \nYou are in all places, \nAnd I worship you in this place.  \n\nGod, forgive me for these sins I commit, \nFor I am human."
