What is Hindu?A derogatory name for the inhabitants of Bharat Bhumi.It's original Persian meaning is "slave" "low life" "thief" "black (skinned)".Muslim invaders called the "infidel" Indians Hindu's as an insult, but today it is a national identity which people are proud of.WHY? βMoreover, it is correct that this name Hindu has been given to the original Aryan race of the region by Muslim invaders to humiliate them. In Persian, says our author, the word means slave, and according to Islam, all those who did not embrace Islam were termed as slaves.β (Maharishi Shri Dayanand Saraswati Aur Unka Kaam, edited by Lala Lajpat Rai, published in Lahore, 1898, in the Introduction) Hindu - meme gifHindu - videoHindu - what is it?Not really a religion but a way of life but in religious terms, it is The only and true religion of peace. The only religion in the world that has coexisted with other religions without actually trying to kill or convert those that don't follow it. Unlike any other religion, Hinduism has taught us to live in peace and harmony. This religion has taught us to be one with the universe and reincarnation. Does God exist? Probably not, but you can still be a Hindu! That guy follows Hinduism and he does not care what you do in your life. What does "Hindu" mean?A Brooklyn term indicating a do over when playing a street game. That ball hit a crack. I'm calling Hindu. Hindu - what does it mean?The world's oldest religion. It's the world's most liberal religion, and is the only religion that teaches that it is completely acceptable to follow whatever religion one wishes, as long as you are benefitting positively and are helping people along the way. It does not have strict threats or eternal damnation, but it also does not have a heaven. Instead, Hindus are taught to be as kind-hearted as possible, because kindness in this life will benefit them in the next life. In the next life, they are expected to be even more kind. Basically, Hindus aren't allowed to be anything but nice. In Hinduism, followers are not forced to believe in "one true god" or "one true text." Instead, Hindus are taught that everyone is entitled to their belief. Hinduism holds a lot of science to it, which is peculiar because it is the oldest religion. It is considered the most-liked religion of people who don't follow it, the second being Pagans and the least-liked being Christianity. My parents were born and raised Hindus, but chose science instead, becoming atheists. Because Hinduism encourages this, they were able to attend medical school and business school to learn more about math and science, and raised me to believe whatever I want. I chose atheism, but I still admire Hinduism for its ethics and beliefs. Hindu - meaningFirst of all, as a Hindu who has been raised by Hindu parents, I'm seriously insulted by some of these definitions! A Hindu is not a hippie, by definiton. Hinduism is not polytheism. Jains are not Hindus. And we are not evil blood-sucking vegetarians or whatever the hell you think. "That woman is a Hindu" Hindu - definitionA religion which teaches love, tolerance, truth, non-violence, mercy, forgiveness and self control. Hindus great everyone by saying Namaste which means "The sprit within me perceives and adores the sprit within you." Hindu - slangSomeone who follows the religion of Hinduism or originally known as Sanatan Dharma. "I'm Hindu, I go to the Mandir to pray" HinduA Hindu is someone who follows the Hindu religion. It is not to be confused with someone who speaks Hindi, a language. Us Hindus have something like a trinity, with Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Shiva the Destroyer(of evil). Some Hindus are vegetarians, though some eat meat. We are vegetarians because we believe in the innate goodness of EVERY living being. Hindus do fight in wars, because we try to protect Dharma, honor and goodness, and we only fight when we know the other is evil.We are ready to fight even our own brothers for Dharma. We have many gods, but we believe in one universal God, and we pray for all our different gods for different things, but we are really just praying to God. And as for those dummies who trash Hinduism, don't believe them. I'm not being a whiny dweeb here, OK, just sticking up for my religion. What would you do if some person just started insulting your thoughts and beliefs? And about those Hindu extremists, WE DO NOT, AT ALL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, PROMOTE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR. These people are unopen, cruel zeolots who have ultimately failed their religion. But we do believe in forgivness, to some extent, but only if you are truly sorry for your actions, completely understand what you did and why it was bad, and will do anything to make it better. And, just for the record, we don't drink cow pee!!!!! We don't smell like curry(because that's just like saying Americans smell like hamburgers) and anyways, not all Hindus are Indian, but a high majority are. So that's basically Hinduism! Non-Hindu: Hey, you don't smell like cow pee! But you do drink it right? HinduThe oldest religion on Earth. Over a billion followers. That's great for a religion that never set up missionaries. It has survived the invasions of the Muslims and the British. Even though it may have many Gods, different from Christianity, all it's Gods are one aspect of a universal spirit. I definitely think Hinduism is an awesome religion. It has no main founder, no one big text, and has influenced a lot of the world. Lord Venkataswara is one of the important Gods of Hinduism. HinduContrary to all postings here, a follower of "Hinduism" or the "Hindu Religion". I am a Hindu. |
