In one sentence, \n\n"The divinity of man"\n\nHinduism teaches that all religions are good and are valid paths to god...\n\njust like different ppl wear different clothes, eat different food, but are all the same "humans", so also different religions use different methods to reach the same\n"God"\n\nIt says that everything in the universe is god, you are god.\nI am god, \n\nall the suffering humanity goes through is because we forget our own divine nature, and think that we are nothin but bodies...\n\nThe goal of life is to realize our own divine nature,\n\nso hinduism shows 4 paths to that realization\n\nthey are\n\n1.bhakti yoga (through workship)\n\n2.karma yoga (through selfless work)\n\n3,raja yoga ( by psychic control, meditation and pranayama etc )\n\nand\n\n4.jyana yoga ( through philosophical discrimination of what is real and what is not real.)\n\nThe watch word of hinduism is\n\n"Truth alone triumphs"..........\n\nhinduism teaches us to be fearless...

Hers a start. Do the rest through google\n\nKinnari (also spelt Kinaree, Kinaree and Ginnaree; Burmese: kin-na-yi) is a figure from the Indian epic Himmawatpradhes, which is in Thailand known as Himapan Forest. Kinnaris are depicted as half-bird half-women creatures in Thai, Cambodian and Lao, and Burmese mythology. One of the many creatures that inhabit the mythical Himapan Forest, Kinnari has the head, torso, and arms of a woman and the wings, tail and feet of a swan. She is renowned for her dance, song and poetry, and is a traditional symbol of feminine beauty, grace and accomplishment.\n\nOne of the ancient Indian string instruments also is known as Kinnari Veena. The male counterpart of Kinnari is Kinnara (or Kinnon).\n\n\nThailand\nThe Kinnari (Thai: กินรี) in Thai literature originates from India, but was modified to fit in with the Thai way of thinking. The Thai Kinnari is depicted as a young woman wearing an angel-like costume. The lower Part of the body is similar to a bird, which should enable her to fly between the human and the mystical worlds.\n\nThe most famous Kinnari in Thailand is the figure known as Manorah in a Thai tone entitled Panyasachadok. Part of this literature is a dance called Manorah-Buchayan, which is one of the most esoteric among the high classical dances of Thailand\n\nThai Airways International publishes even a monthly magazine with the title Kinnaree.\n\n\nMyanmar\nBurmese Buddhists believe that out of the 136 past animal lives of Buddha, four were Kinnara.

That's a bit more complicated than you think to answer. The basic beliefs are that there is one Divinity (God) from which everything in the universe manifested. Everything! That the soul reincarnates over and over again until it reaches moksha. Moksha is the liberation from samsara and union with God. Samsara is the cycle of birth, death, birth, death, birth, death, etc. Karma (Sanskrit word that means "action") is also a belief. Karma is the fuel for samsara. The Law of Karma is basically a lot like the Law of Cause and Effect in science. Every action (physical, word, or thought) produces effects that cause other actions that eventually have an effect on you. Hindus believe that there is a heaven, but that it is temporary. That it is projected by your consciousness, Eventually your desires and karma cause you to incarnate again in another body. While the entire universe manifested from God (thus it's true inner nature is also divine) God also still pervades the universe as well. God is then both formless and multiform; nameless and all names. Hindus believe that you can call God by whatever name you desire and you can use whatever symbols/forms you desire to help you to pray to God and worship God. \n"There is only one God, though humanity calls It by many names." Rig Veda 1:164.46\n\nSome great websites about Hinduism that I, as a Hindu, recommend are:\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/religion\nhttp://www.hindukids.org\nhttp://www.hindunet.com\nhttp://www.sacred-texts.com\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org\nhttp://www.himalayanacademy.org\n\nSome great books about Hinduism are\n"The Complete Idiot's Guide To Hinduism"\n"Windows Into The Infinite : A Guide To Hindu Sacred Texts"\n"Am I A Hindu?"\n"Paths To God : Living The Bhagavad Gita"\n\nHope this helps

My dear friend, \n\nBelow I have done my best to try and explain the sects of Buddhism to level comprehensible to the general public; I sincerely hope it helps you.\n\nHowever, I first must briefly touch on the answer given by [Ronin], which is undoubtedly more a source than an answer.  To comment, our friend here has asked us to help her understand the differences between the branches of Buddhism, as she hasn't "been able to understand them perfectly and was wondering if anyone could put them into layman’s terms for [her]".  Citing wikipedia does neither for her, and I believe you may even insult her by suggesting she does not know how to search for information.  People come her, to the answers services because they have been unsuccessful in their quest for an answer; hence it is up to people who may know the answer to try and assist them in any way that we can, and not simply throw them more incomprehensible information.\n\nA period after the pir-nirvana of the Lord Buddha, the "Elders" and the "Novices" of Buddhism had an argument regarding the preservation of offerings for an overnight situation.  This let to a fine separation into 2 factions of Buddhism: Theravada and Mahasamghika (Elders and Novices) - the terms used previously are given in the ancient language Sanskrit.  In fact, the Mahasamghika was the stepping stone or hint that another form of Buddhism would take place, and that form would be known as Mahayana Buddhism.  Mahayana Buddhism was introduced to the world by Nagarjuna Buddha (or Nagarjuna Bodhisattva - depending on tradition), and the Mahasamghika slowly dissipated into another form of Buddhism, known as Hinayana.\n\nSo to briefly bring things into perspective:  Hinayana, Mahayana and Theravada.  However, this is not the end yet.  Some people actually place Theravada Buddhism under the banner of Hinayana Buddhism.  So, there are mainly the two branches: Hinayana and Mahayana (but readers please take note, it is not that I am in total agreement of this; I merely wish to use it as an example to simplify matters).  Now, to help you understand the differences.  Places like Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Sri Lanka, India etc are all examples where Hinayana Buddhism is prominent; their Dharma Robes are easily distinguished tending to look like a very large cloth wrapped around their body.  Countries like China, Taiwan, Korea, Tibet, Japan etc are all examples where Mahayana Buddhism is prominent; their Dharma Robes are not so easily distinguished tending to vary from tradition, but one thing is certain, and that is they often have a look of Chinese Tang Dynasty Royal Family robes.\n\nWell, "is that all", you ask?  No, because within the Mahayana tradition there is another lineage of Buddhism, known as the Tantrayana (or Vajrayana).  All the countries mentioned in the category of Mahayana fit this description, but please take note that there is an extremely large amount of overlapping.  And to complicate matter even further, these branches of Buddhism are separated in another general manner:  Exoteric and Esoteric.\n\nSo to conclude:\nExoteric Buddhism - Hinayana Buddhism (Thailand, Sri Lanka...etc)\n             - Mahayana Buddhism (Taiwan, Korea, China)\n\nEsoteric Buddhism-Tantrayana Buddhism (China, Tibet, Japan)\n\nRemember, it all depends in what context you are speaking of.\n\nI hope I have helped you, and would appreciate criticism and education from the learned friends of the world wide web.\n\nvhy

Celebration\nPongal is also known as Tamizhar Thirunal or The Festival of Tamils among the Tamil people. The Tamil language saying Thai Pirandhal Vazhi Pirakkum (தை பிறந்தால் வழி பிறக்கும்) -- literally meaning, the birth of the month of Thai will pave way for new opportunities -- is often quoted with reference to the Pongal festival.\n\nUsually the festival falls in the middle of the month of January in the Western calendar. The festival is celebrated for four days from the last day of the Tamil month Maargazhi (Dec/Jan) to the third day of Thai (Jan/Feb). The first day, Bhogi, is celebrated by throwing away and destroying old clothes and materials by setting fire on them to mark the end of old and emeregence of new.\n\nThe second day, Pongal, is the main day which falls on the first day of the Tamil month Thai (January 14 or January 15 in western calender). The Pongal day is celebrated by boiling rice with fresh milk and Jaggery early in the morning and allowing it to boil over the vessel — a tradition that is the literal translation for Pongal (in Tamil). The moment the rice gets boiled over and bubbles out of the vessel, it is offered to the Sun God, a gesture which symbolises thanksgiving to the Sun for providing prosperity. People also prepare savories and sweets, visit each other's homes, and exchange greetings.\n\nThe third day, Mattu Pongal, is meant to offer thanks to the cattle, as they provide with milk and are used to plough the lands. Jallikattu, a violent taming the wild bull contest, marks the main event of this day. On the last day, Kanum Pongal — the word "kanum" literally meaning 'to view' — youngsters used to gather at river banks to view and select their future life partners (which has fallen out of practice currently). People, especially store-keepers visit beaches and theme parks during this day in modern times. During the pongal season, people eat sugar canes and decorate the houses with kolam.

Patanjali only compiled a wide variety of information on "Raja Yoga" in "Yoga Sutra". He wrote a commentory "Mahābhāṣya" on Pāṇini's Sanskrit grammar (Aṣṭādhyāyī).\n\nSome ayurvedic texts are also attributed to him, but nearly all scholars believe these texts were actually written by others.\n\nThirumandiram was written by Thirumoolar, not Patanjali.
