Hinduism is not a belief system seeking converts. It is not striving to narrow down our sense of who we are or what we can do. It is a set of spiritual resources, carefully gathered since the most ancient times, which is available, like a wonderful set of tools, to help us build our own inner life. If we regard Hinduism as merely another religion, then it is not of much value, and we should discard it like the rest. But if we understand Hinduism as a universal tradition, which shows how spirituality can be integrated into the whole of life, then it can be of great value for reformulating a global spiritual culture today.

Dear Wats Up, I think its equally stupid to read religions of other scriptures since they are man made too ultimately. However, it is not wrong to believe in idols or in fairy tales. Where it becomes a problem is when certain relgions believe that they are superior to others and convert people through the use of force, threats, lies and monetary benefits. I will pray for you (to whatever God you believe in) so that you are in the right path (the one you believe to be right).

Again....stick to the damn point...whats conversion got to do with WatsUp's question? For your info Muslims and xtians do not worship idols (they believe that god cannot be recreated with anything earthly and materialistic) Also, I seriously think believing in fairy tales is plain wrong...wow...do you believe in tooth fairy....

Mr. Reuben, As a Christian do you believe that Jesus was born to a virgin-Mary. At the same time, muslims believe that the prophet ascended to heaven with the archangel Gabriel. Then why do you have double standards and just call Hinduism as one that is childish? Contemplate this sir!

Reben, No one is fanatic about religion, infact i denounce religion and i abhore organized religion. That said, hinduism(induism) is culture that predates all religions today by thousands of years. And above all, i dont believe in arguing/fighthing about "God", the major wars todays are because of muslim/christian idealogy clash. And get this, if there were ever a judgement day according to monotheistic religions, it is never going to be "we" who are going to be judged, it is them (" the gods ") that needs to judged.

I didn't said u believe my religion...I said, KNOW THE FACTS BY YOURSELF. But to know the fact u need to open mind and start doing finding urself..Just imagine, wat wud hv happen if each GOD has its own territory on land..I cant even imagine??? I am with you on the point that forcefully trying to convert someone in their own belief will lead to increase the differences !!!

Wats up,
What do you pray ?, and why do you pray ?, you will have the answer(once you start meditating), and answering this will increase your width of your thought process which is very limited right now. And above all, go get a life !

@ Reuben "God cannot be recreated with earthy object"
The symbol of God is image. Just like you write water as H2O. HeO is not water right? It is the symbol of water made with words that noway corrsponds to water. I think now it will go to your brain.
