Possibly that is why people use the word DHARMA which, in search of a better word, should mean "nature" or "a way to lead life". Hinduism is possibly the only religion that has no problems with worshiping a deity for a week or 5 days then happily immersing the idol in a river or sea. <br />No other pagan religion allows that. truth be told Hindus can be Monotheist to Polytheist, they can also accept Idols or deities of other religion (there is a term for it which I do not remember).<br />In fact this religion is a GODLESS religion in many senses of the word.raysantanu04https://www.blogger.com/profile/04353012731490959484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029308213582814506.post-5799930847138674692015-09-27T21:21:23.069+05:302015-09-27T21:21:23.069+05:30A lot of western misconception and interpretations...A lot of western misconception and interpretations has been labelled against Hinduism. Many words and things in Indian litertures and culture have been loosely translated by their own litertures and culture. <br />Even the word ‘Hindu’ does not belong to them. <br />So when a Hindu stands up to correct it; he is often labelled as an activist, a terrorist, a fanatic and so forth. So its not right to say that ‘Hindu activist’ is saying......<br /><br />Hindus declare their so called ‘religion’ is a ‘way of life’ because there are certain aspects of the other ‘religions’ which appear binding, dogmatic, rigid, following some strict rules and regulations. Even the thinking is done for them! How can this be a way of life if all you are doing is following some robotic lifestyle? Where is the freedom to think, do and act? <br /><br /><br />Anyway I hope this nice article will help you with the answers and more. <br />http://www.hinduismtoday.com/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=5359 <br /><br />Please also nte the word Dharma in the article and its deeper/proper meanings.<br /><br /><br /><br />There is a book that describes some differences between Dharma and relgion which you might find useful in understanding a ‘Hindu’ view point. Ive shortened and listed some from the book for info only. You may or maynot agree with all of the terms herwith.<br /><br />Dharma is determined by the Creator.<br />Religion is founded by humans.<br /><br /><br />Dharma is eternal. It has no beginning and no end.<br />Religion took birth and what takes birth must die.<br /><br /><br />Dharma is applicable to all of humanity. It is Universal.<br />Religion is preferred by those who follow its founder. It is not universal. <br /><br /><br />Dharma—its purpose is to guide humanity towards righteousness for our overall personal and collective good. <br />Religion –Its purpose may be the selfish interest of an individual or groups of individual.<br /><br /><br />Dharma brings universal love, brotherhood and peace amongst the entire humanity.<br />Religion often causes conflicts and strife leading to wars among followers of different religions.<br /><br /><br />Dharma understands that there are many way to the One.<br />Religions are intolerant of this fact. <br /><br />Dharma can be understood by an intelligent person through his/her intellectual faculties.<br />Religion discourages the use of intellectual faculties. It’s often rigid. <br /><br /><br />There is considerable individual freedom for personal growth provided it doesn’t hurt others.<br />There is no freedom because there is fear that an individual may become equal or even superior to the person who founded the religion. <br /><br /><br />One can follow Dharma anytime, anywhere, at any age.<br />One must go through certain rituals to be initiated into a religion. <br /><br /><br />If Dharma sees its decline then ....<br />Religions flourish and create havoc for the noble people.<br /><br /><br />So Hinduism in part may feel like a ‘religion’ but it has strongly held onto the value of Dharma. <br />As long as there is Dharma –there is hope for humanity. <br /><br /><br />Kiran <br />Kiranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13449516455600525026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029308213582814506.post-2116340643933963852015-09-03T13:02:43.950+05:302015-09-03T13:02:43.950+05:30I have often heard hindu activists saying that hin...I have often heard hindu activists saying that hinduism is a way of life, or a view of life, though they rarely say that <a href="http://sqrt.in/buy.php" rel="nofollow">hinduism</a> is not a religion. But i cannot understand the meaning of this statement, what idea about religion is in their mind due to which think it is not a religion, Is it just a english word that's why they prevent themself from using it or is it like they think that the meaning is also different. If it is not a religion then can anyone tell me what they mean by this way of life statement.IMPETUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328295045124730459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029308213582814506.post-12356409923622767702015-08-08T06:57:23.100+05:302015-08-08T06:57:23.100+05:30A great blog Shankara, thanks.
