The Hindu religion is base on:\n\nUpanishads.\n\nVedas.\n\n............\n\nThey have three Main God, that were created by God.\n\nShiva.\nVishnu.\nBrahma.\n\nThey have 1001 name for their Gods.\n\nGreek and Romans also had many Gods.\n\nVishnu is a preserver of universe.\nShiva is a destructer of Evil and protector of good.\nBrahma is a Creator of this earth and things in it.\n\nAll other gods are just the Avatar or reincarnation of mainly Vishnu or Shiva.\n\nThe deference between the Christianity and the Hindu is, in your religion God sends his only son, to earth. The Hindu believe that from time to time Vishnu or Shiva were send to this earth or they decided to visit the earth to create order of a kind. They took the shape or form or Avatar of Rama(Vishnu) or Krishna(Shiva). These are the two main Avatar of the the God.\n\nIf you ask any Hindu he may have slightly different twist on the events. But most will have same gereral info, along the above line of thinking and some will disagree completely.\n**************************************************************\nMy answer is based on my interpretation of the Q?, If you did not get the Q? answered please do re-phase it and I will try and answer it or others will.\n******************************************************************\nThis is for the people who have grilled you over, for your, English.\n\nMost of the people who write poor English, are attempting to write a foreign language for the first time. They are like baby learning to speak, but they have to write in this forum, so we should give them credit for trying. \n\nOnly way you can learn and master the language is to try, so please do not give up.\n\nBy all means correct them, instruct them, but do not discourage them with harsh comments.\n\nExample: (this was one of the "q?" from a second grader).\n\nMy 'grandpa' told me that does'nt disclose u r secret with any females why? please give me explanation for it\n\nYou should have broken this up in to small manageable sentences.\n\nMy 'grandpa' told me that, do not disclose your secret to any female. Can you please explain me why?\n\nDo you understand it batter? First thing I did was to type this in word. In word you can check spellings and grammar. Then I took it to the answer block.\n\nOn the top right corner, there is a "Check spelling" you can use that too, but it will not correct grammar.

One ...there is no modern Hinduism. Two there is no difference between any religion and Hinduism.  Hinduism is the mother of all religions.  Bhakti yoga of hinduism can be found in Christians, Karma Yoga is Muslims and Sankhya Philosophy in Buddhism.\n\nQuantum physics can be better understood by Tantra !\n\nBudhism is an off-shoot of Hinduism...there is nothing new which Hindus did not know!\n\nAnd yes tell all that Hindus do believe in One God with different manifestation, as liked by individual as per his mental status.\n\nAnd yes we do not reject any belief...we accept all !!

An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in ANY gods. A-theism means the absence of theism. Theism is the belief in a god or gods. The same root forms the words "monotheism" (believe in one god) and "polytheism" (belief in many gods).\n\nA non-believer, from your point of view, might be someone who doesn't believe in the same god or gods as *you*. That doesn't make someone an atheist, though.\n\nThus, to an evangelical Christian, a Hindu might be a non-believer, but the Hindu is not an atheist.

CONCEPT OF GOD IN HINDUISM\nby Dr. Zakir Naik\n \n1.   \nCommon Concept of God in Hinduism:\n \n Hinduism is commonly perceived as a polytheistic religion. Indeed, most Hindus would attest to this, by professing belief in multiple Gods. While some Hindus believe in the existence of three gods, some believe in thousands of gods, and some others in thirty three crore i.e. 330 million Gods. However, learned Hindus, who are well versed in their scriptures, insist that a Hindu should believe in and worship only one God.\n\nThe major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim perception of God is the common Hindus’ belief in the philosophy of Pantheism. Pantheism considers everything, living and non-living, to be Divine and Sacred. The common Hindu, therefore, considers everything as God. He considers the trees as God, the sun as God, the moon as God, the monkey as God, the snake as God and even human beings as manifestations of God!\n\nIslam, on the contrary, exhorts man to consider himself and his surroundings as examples of Divine Creation rather than as divinity itself. Muslims therefore believe that everything is God’s i.e. the word ‘God’ with an apostrophe ‘s’. In other words the Muslims believe that everything belongs to God. The trees belong to God, the sun belongs to God, the moon belongs to God, the monkey belongs to God, the snake belongs to God, the human beings belong to God and everything in this universe belongs to God.\n\nThus the major difference between the Hindu and the Muslim beliefs is the difference of the apostrophe ‘s’. The Hindu says everything is God. The Muslim says everything is God’s.\n \n \n2.   \n  \nConcept of God according to Hindu Scriptures:\n \n We can gain a better understanding of the concept of God in Hinduism by analysing Hindu scriptures. \n\nBHAGAVAD GITA\n\nThe most popular amongst all the Hindu scriptures is the Bhagavad Gita. \n\nConsider the following verse from the Gita:\n\n"Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures."\n                   [Bhagavad Gita 7:20]\n\nThe Gita states that people who are materialistic worship demigods i.e. ‘gods’ besides the True God.\n \n \nUPANISHADS:\n\nThe Upanishads are considered sacred scriptures by the Hindus. \n\nThe following verses from the Upanishads refer to the Concept of God:\n\n"Ekam evadvitiyam"\n"He is One only without a second."\n        [Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1]1\n\n"Na casya kascij janita na cadhipah."\n"Of Him there are neither parents nor lord."\n         [Svetasvatara Upanishad 6:9]2\n\n"Na tasya pratima asti"\n"There is no likeness of Him."\n        [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:19]3\n\nThe following verses from the Upanishad allude to the inability of man to imagine God in a particular form:\n\n"Na samdrse tisthati rupam asya, na caksusa pasyati kas canainam."\n\n"His form is not to be seen; no one sees Him with the eye."\n        [Svetasvatara Upanishad 4:20]4\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n1[The Principal Upanishad by S.

Hinduism is not a religion.\nIt is a collection of thoughts and beliefs gathered over thousands of years.\nThey have hundreds of Gods and hundreds of different theories.\nEvery region in India has a differnt following for a particular God and follow different rituals.\nHinduism has evolved with time. Because people have made changes according to thier wishes.\nEven Jesus and Mohammad (PBUT) are considered Avatars or forms of thier God.

Thats a vague question.\nWell, there are 3 main Gods. Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the protector), and Shiva (the destroyer). \nHindus believe in Karma, reincarnation, and samsara (life cycle through reincarnation) until the achievement of Moksha which is unity with God. It can be achieved with supremely good Karma. Karma, as you should know, is the idea that what goes around comes around. Reincarnation is the idea that we are reborn into the world with another life after death. We only freed from this when we achieve Moksha.\nThe caste system is comprised of 6 main castes, with the Brahmans on the top and the Untouchables on the bottom. The system no longer exists in mainstream India today.

Being of the jewish  race they probably prayed to God as the jews are monotheistic based?Hear ye o Israel the lord God is one!says so in the Bible. check it out?Trinity was conceived at the Coucil of Nicea? I think?it explains the Father,Son,Holy Ghost most Christians believe in?One reason Muslims have a problem with Christians is their belief in a triune god[3 godhead]as they believe in Allah as the one true god?

Hindu's Bhappu what are you thinking?\nYou are totally giving inaccurate information, and another thing learn how to spell, it's Sikhism.  People looked to Sikhism as guidence, and at the time it was one of the only monothestic religions in that area.  Sikhs believe that all are equal, and unlike Hindu's that have caste systems.  The founder of Sikhism was Guru Nanak Dev Ji, and he did not take a "little bit" from each religion, Sikhism is a totally seperate religion.  Yes, we do not cut our hair or trim, but we're still normal like everyone else, you should learn how to respect other religions.  The reason we don't cut our hair is because it's God's gift, and it's sacred to us.  The turban is used to cover one's head for respect, and to hold the hair up.  Sikhs don't try to convert people, but if someone wants to convert to Sikhism they can, Sikhism like any other religion has its own beliefs. \n\nPlease make sure you get your facts straight, almost everything you wrote was wrong.  \n\n\nFor the asker of this question sorry I've been explaining this to you because the ignorance of some people giving wrong answers I just have to correct them.  Here's a site that'll help explain Nishan Sahib: http://www.ngfl.ac.uk/re/nishansahib.htm\n\nBut this is what it says "Outside every Gurdwara stands a Nishan Sahib. It is the holy flag which can be seen either near the entrance or on the top of every Gurdwara . Great respect is shown to the flag as it is a symbol of all that the Sikhs believe. It also is a welcome banner for visitors. The flagpole is covered in orange material which is changed at special occasions and every year in April at the festival of Vaisakhi."

this is for stranger,well atleast hindus worship everything ,they are not arrogant and ignorant like you.You should'nt comment on something you don't know about.Being a hindu myself I know that there are many kinds of hindus,namely,Shaivites,Vaishnavites,and many more I can't keep count of all the sects.Each hindu sect has their own rights,rituals,following,culture and beliefs according to their geography and origin.Hinduism is one the oldest religions,which originated before Christ.It is believed that the vedic followings,ie,the followings of the vedas,that would be books of vast knowledge containing everything from the strategies of war,medicine which includes ayurveda and yoga,sciences of the elements and knowledge of the cosmos,originated with the aryans.Hinduism has many facets known and unknown.Hinduism or any religion as a matter of fact are ways of life, one can adopt a particular way or religion,it is what we have inside us that makes us good or bad.No religion is bad ,all of them have good teachings,it us humans and followers,politicians,clergy or people of power that manipulate them to their own benifit.Humanity is the greatest religion one can follow,It is not our religion that makes us good or bad,it is what we are at heart that decides,who or what we are.

Although I was raised as a christian, I am sometimes ashamed of those who represent it falsely. I have also studied Hinduism and many of the teachings match the Essenes Christians which I have found to have the truth. \n\nThe early Essene Christians also believed in reincarnation as did the Jewish mystics and Gnostics.\n\nAn early Jewish teaching said that God (Jehovah) will pluck us up and replant us many times to help us achieve perfection.\n\nWhen Jesus disciples and other followers implied that he was David (reincarnated) ... he did not deny it.\n\nI wish that we Christians had the peaceful history that you Hindus have. Our history from the crusaders to George Bush shows us to be a very bloody and violent religion.\n\nI also wish that we Christian were as open minded about sexuality as the Hindus. We and the Muslims will almost kill if we see a homosexual.\n\nThat leaves us with your cast system...It really is not right and fortunately your people have began to realize this. \n\nOur Christianity, on the other hand is fast becoming a cast system due to the capitalist here. We place those that are industrious  on a pedestal while we frown on those that are poor or unable to work.  Our aged is locked out of everyone's way rather than respected and honored. Our mentally disabled are not treated as other disabilities. In many ways we have done worse than your cast system.\n\nJesus said, "Let he with out sin cast the first stone".  This one from the Christian religion will not cast stones.  In many ways I admire you.

I assume you refer to India's caste system.  A reason so many Indians are becoming Christians is because unlike Hinduism, the message is that God loves everyone regardless of social status.  Through simple repentance and trust in Jesus to save us by His payment made for us on the cross we can become the very children of God and not only saved from His wrath, but having His righteousness credited to our accounts.  He wants to have a relationship with us and cares about us whether we are in a brahmin caste or a sudra caste.  But it is not only those of the highest order who come[1].

I think of all Indians as I think of all people - created by God, in need of a relationship with Jesus Christ, and otherwise going through the same struggles of life that we all face and go through - making choices.
