RE:HINDU MINDSET
by human on Jan 07, 2008 07:19 PM

World over commercialism counquered every religion. Let us not debate about the vedas and upanishads of hindus which is beyond our understanding and mostly misinterpreted while we try. But Some of the basic facts in religions

Christianity - As per jewish and christian thinking there blood transfusion not allowed. Tell us who started blood transfusion in the modern era. Most of the allopathy has emanated from western world dominated by xians. Tell us how many true christian are dieing following this??

Islam - As per islam no interest should be payed or earned on money. Show us which muslim country follows strictly. how do they run profitable businesses then??

Hinduism - Some of the vedas tell how the brahmins, who were given elite status given their purified life (in those ages), should live and preach and practice dharma. Similar is the case for Kings. We know well how much of these followed in Mahabaratha times. Not all hindus follow dharma.

Finally, most of indians of any religion talk about only Ramayan and mahabharat for the simple reason that they are quite popular and comes easy for other religions to negate hindu religion. But hindu religion is much beyond and above these epics. The epics elaborated mirroring human characterstics and tendencies very well ... be it goodness, lust for power and women, wealth, worship, dharmas (right / wrong). Dont we see all of those kinda people even today ?? Are we living in ideal world.
