DO NOT CRIB about Conversion or Terrorism if you are one of these -
Contemporary Hindu Imaginary Idealistic mentality -
1> Children of Hindu parents are stuffed up with Material Goals.
&nb sp; 1> beta bade hoke bohoth paisa aur naam kamao. ( Dear son you grow up and become a filthy rich man and be glorified with name and fame)
2> Agar thum is baar distinction mein paas ue tho hum mandir mein bhent chadayenge ( We'll make a owe that If you get distinction we'll make an offering in the temple)
3> Maharaj ji isse aashirvaad dijiye ke meri beti is baar dance competition mein first aaye. ( Requesting a saint to bless the child so that she win first prize in dance competition)
4> Ganesh ji ka stothr bolo beta, thumhari padhayi achchi hogi aur padhayi mein dhyan ayega (Chant Ganesh ji's Verses you will do good in your studies and will improve on concentration on studies)
5> Beta bade ho ke IAS karoge ya Engineer Doctor banoge ? (Dear son, do you want to do IAS or become doc /engineer when you grow up)
2> Adulthood of such children -
1> I have burnt the midnight oil to reach this position in my life, Its time to have fun !
2> Temple !!, no I'm happy with whatever shloka, that my mom taught me, I'm chanting infront of the Ganesh jis photo after taking bath in the evening !
3> May be it was leaders in the society who wanted to create some fear in the minds of public to stop them from commiting crime they came up with the idea of God !

Contd ...
4> Come on show me first if he exisits, show me one person who has seen God.
5> Kaliyuga is coming to end ( one of my colleagues told me this, he was shocked when I in turn told him Dwapara yuga ended just 5000 years ago and it has 3,60,000 years remaining)
6> Is it not funny to believe that God is blue in color? ( referring to Shri Krishna).
7> You must honestly serve your profession and that itself will give you Swarg (My childhood friend who is a Dentist now told me quoting his father).
8> Mere daad Swarg vaasi ho gaye, My Grandpa passed away is resting in heaven (Assuming that Swarg/ Heaven means immortality, but the scriptures say Swarg is just like another material planet with more lavish life but with death decease and oldage after which one will come back to earth)
9> I do not believe in God and all that, Chill its all imagination !
10> I believe in doing good and being good, there is no need of God here.

Pritish,
Vedas group charecters of individuals into three: 1. Satviga 2. Rajasa and 3. Tamasa Most of the points you have mentioned belong to type 3, i.e Tamasa.
For your point 4, Have you seen air? If you don't see, do you deny the existence of air?
For your point 6, Hinduism allows different ways of worshipping God. "Rupa" and "Arupa". "Rupa" means giving a shape, color and charecter. For example, Ram or Krishnan. "Arupa" means without any of these. There is some thing in between. That is like "Lingam". Depending on the maturity of the individual, he can choose the way he wants to worship. For example, Ramalinga Swamigal worshipped God in the form of divine light.
Regarding your point 8: Swarg and Moksha are different concepts. If your "Karma" (deeds) are noble, you reach Swarg. Swarg is not ultimate. Reaching and dissolving your soul with Paramatma is the Ultimate.
Your point 7: There are concepts like GYANA YOGA and KARMA YOGA. What you are talking about is KARMA YOGA. When you follow Karma Yoga, you may or may not believe in God. You do your duty conscientously. That is good enough. You do not need to believe in God, but still you can continue to be a Hind. That is the greatness of Hinduism.
I have one request to you and people like you. Please DO NOT start mudslinging with half baked knowledge. Try to get deeper knowledge or keep quiet.
