Christianism, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Vaishnavism are not religions, they are organisations. It is organised by some one(the personal god) and preached by them. For eg, the personal god of the above said religions are- christian-jesus christ islam-muhammed jain-mahavir buddhism-buddha vaishnavism-krishna sikhism-guru nanak
from this we can say that they are fans of those organisers. Like in the modern day world, cine actor/politicians, etc has followers. So, we can say congress is too a religion. Is it not?
But to me, look after the history of your forefathers(HARAPPA CULTURE). The coming of aryans disrupted Harappans. Aryans comprise UP,Bihar, North WB, HP,Punjab, Northern Rajasthan, Northern MP and NOT THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH INDIA. More to know...wait

it seems that ur from extreme northie, be cool. visit http://www.harappa.com
coming to your point, its a religion.OK. So you are followers of religion that has personal God. But we(Harappa) are really dravidians, and we worshipped Lord Shiva, in non-form, this universal or nature god has no end.
Proof can be given that Aryans are Vaishnavism. visit 1)http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Ithaca/1335/Rel/visnu.html 2)http://www.atlantaharekrishnas.org /Default.aspx?tabid=93 (read -"What is Vaishnavism?")
also read http://www.tamilnation.org/forum/shanranjit/saivaism.htm#Rise%20of%20Vaishnavism
Have you read Ramayana, actually Ravana was a Dravidian and an devotee of God Shiva..but for some purpose they put God Shiva in their writings of Ramayana. To destroy Saivism, these things were written. Also the Dravidians were the Harappan Civilizations. Read http://www.harappa.com.
Aryans comprise UP,Bihar, North WB, HP,Punjab, Northern Rajasthan, Northern MP and NOT THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH INDIA.
Harappa civilization extended upto Gujarat, but due to some natural calamities and/or invasion of Aryans, they were forced to move to extreme south like srilanka, Tamil is parent which gave birth to Malayalam, Kannada and Telgu...
Tamil sangh comprises of three- First Sangh-washed out due to some natural calamities Middle Sangh-washed out due to some natural calamities Last Sangh-now in Madurai as per the kings
so to save and hide from Aryans they moved down south, a
can you tell accurately that you are a harappan, If so, you must be a bull lipped, snub nosed. Your claim that southern langauages are born from Tamil is at fault as Telugu, Kannada and your Malayalam have the largest number of Sanskrit words than Hindi itself.
Try this stories in Pakistan and your second homeland ME.
Accept and live with what you are ?? dont harp wrong stories which are futile and carry no essence.

I agree with Surya. Sanskrit is the oldest language in the world.All languages are derived from sanskrit only.It's language of God.

do you know the history of Jesus, he was just a shepard guiding people..thats all..and nothing special in him. He is a normal man, but with good thinking. We are the followers of the universal religion & universal & nature god "ANBE SHIVAM"-no idol worship, no personal god. Yoga is a part of our universal religion followed by our forefathers HARAPPAN CULTURE. Know who you are first????
living in western world, i know the hallowness of christian value and ethics, all businessmen have killed the whole ethics of western people , they are totaly commercialised, money istheir god, there no family life, no peace of mind, younger generation are totaly directionless, most of them resorting to drug and hippism,,, back in india, most of people are still following the old dharma and there is still life left in their blood of celebration of festivities of happyness and enjoyment,, western life is totaly cosmetic, totaly manipulated and devoid of any character of love, secrifice and faith,,, religion is left only for old generation,,,,to sit and pass their time

Hinduism is very different from Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism... For eg. Buddha himself remarked about the Vedas, the main scripture of the Hindus, that they are a 'pathless jungle'... Just because all originated in India does not mean they are same....
At one point in India, there were many religions Shavaism, Brahmanism, vasihnavism who were worshippers of Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu and that is y we have the Puranas where the followers of each god have belittled on insulted teh other gods... read the puranas and u will find out... all are myths....

So INDIA is now changing, no more you culd not see these festivals, may be after 5-10 years. Good luck INDIA.
It is a healthy attitude to respect others' prayers, understand it that every prayer allows man to reach GOD.. called by whatever a name for GOD.. I hope fundamantalists of all religion understand that EVERYMAN CAN ATTAIN GOD BY HIS OWN WAY OF WORSHIP OR WORK.. TO respect 'His own way' is the best way of peace.. There is no need of a prayer being named as Hindu prayer,,or christian prayer.. PRAYER IS PRAYER.. OM SHANTHI OM!

Namasthe Priya Jay: As the author of AM I A HINDU? [http://www.amiahindu.com/] I support what you have written. All religions should be respected. RELIGION SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A BAT TO BEAT UP OTHERS.
Unluckily, the protesters were protesting out of fear.
Fear that more people will be interested to study all about Hinduism, which is embraced by more than 800 million people on earth.
Fear that more people will be interested to study all about Hinduism, which respect all religions and worship ONE AND ONLY GOD WHICH EXPRESS ITSELF IN TRILLIONS OF FORMS.
Fear that more people will be interested to study all about Hinduism, which states " Any one who searches after truth will finally attain salvation, irrespective of one is Hindu or not. "
Fear that more people will be interested to study all about Hinduism, WHICH DOES NOT CONVERT ANYONE TO HINDUISM.
Knowingly or unknowingly Protesters made more people interested in Hinduism..
Didnt some brahmins conduct 'purification' at a temple in Kerala because someone who had visited had a mother who was a christian? Most temples do not allow Dalits to worship.Puri Jagannath temple doesnt even allow a non hindu to enter. The inner sanctum is off limits in almost all temples to non hindus. How's that for bigotry and intolerance?

and more and more hindus r accepting that.... LOL... stupid buggers!
It is found that churches are being converted to Guest houses/clubs in some parts of US ,Great britain & many parts of world due to scarcity of people going to churches to hear sermons. These people have realised their folly and are returning back to their old pagan/mayan religion. Pls note that people are waking up, hence the Mr.Zed has received 1000s of mails
Dear all,If people-sensible,educated without any bias and intelegent enough to think about the history of world and Religions, then there should not be any protest from any corner of wise and sensible people.Hindu religion, is still surviving and existing in India and other parts of world. Ancient religions existed before! Hindus do not believe in any other religion superior to them, except related to well being of Human being as a whole.Pity to protestors, who never thought that there was a wise, living and creative world, before Jesus.Well,Forgive them, because they do not know what are doing!!Thanks to senate members and especially to those who showed zeal and courage to the ignorant people(may be with degrees and 21`st century knoweldge).
