I am a proud Hindu and I am not ashamed

[itachiii]

So saluting to a flag is equal to praying to an idol?

Why do you need something to manifest lord in human form? Didnt god say he has no form so why do YOU give him a form?

Cultures if dont make sense, making an idol with your own hands and then bowing to it and Now see where logic goes

didn't god say he is omni-present and ever existent ?? so what is wrong in me giving a form to god , making an idol and praying it ??? that is my way of reaching him.. y does u r religion find it to be so offensive.. do u mean to say tat lord holds grudge if i choose my own way of worshipping him ?? ever thought of giving it a taught ??

u see this is the same thought that makes hinus feel that there are many religions through which u can reach him .. u can even reach him without following any of these religions too... which is severely opposed by abrahmic religions..

OT : jst now i got to know tat u r a gal .. hope u look beautiful

Whats pure or impure let the Almighty judge it.

No one is forcing Muslims to bow to Hindu god or goddess. Hindu is a broad term, it denotes religion, cultural heritage of the Hindustan. So it's not that wrong if people can look at it without prejudice.

Well it's the spiritual hurdles which are tough to over come than the physical ones.

Just read this thread alone..You will see soo many saying you can practice your own religion but you cant drop HINDUISM

 

[ranjeet]

The same religion whose origin is disputed! You cant claim something that is disputed and not stated anywhere!

That's quite intolerant of you to hold that view.

Talking about islam?

Read the thread and you will realize how much intolerance dwells in your people!

HINDUISM is much more than bowing to idols in temple.

Very Interesting facts!

Christianity ….One Christ, One Bible Religion…

But the Latin Catholic will not enter Syrian Catholic Church.

These two will not enter Marthoma Church .

These three will not enter Pentecost Church .

These four will not enter Salvation Army Church.

These five will no enter Seventh Day Adventist Church .

These six will not enter Orthodox Church.

These seven will not enter Jacobite church.

Like this there are 146 castes in Kerala alone for Christianity,

each will never share their churches for fellow Christians!

How shameful..! One Christ, One Bible, One Jehova???

Now Muslims..! One Allah, One Quran, One Nebi....! Great unity?

Among Muslims, Shia and Sunni kill each other in all Muslim countries.

The religious riot in most Muslim countries is always between these two sects.

The Shia will not go to Sunni Mosque.

These two will not go to Ahamadiya Mosque.

These three will not go to Sufi Mosque.

These four will not go to Mujahiddin mosque.

Like this it appears there are 13 castes in Muslims.

Killing/bombing/conquering/ massacring/... each other!

American attack on Iraq was fully supported by all Muslim countries surrounding Iraq !

One Allah, One Quran, One Nebi....????

Hindus -

They have 1,280 Religious Books, 10,000 Commentaries, more than one lakh sub-commentaries for these foundation books, innumerable presentations of one God, variety of Aacharyas, thousands of Rishies, hundreds of languages.

Still they all go to All TEMPLES and they are peaceful and tolerant and seek unity with others by inviting them to worship with them whatever God they wish to pray for!

Nope it doesn't but minorities in India do take pride in following this Hindu cultural ceremony.

Taking pride and being forced to by ONLY BE ACCEPTED IF THEY TAKE PRIDE are not very far apart

 

[ashok mourya]

At death the soul leaves the physical body. But the soul does not die. It lives on in a subtle body called the astral body. The astral body exists in the nonphysical dimension called the astral plane, which is also the world we are in during our dreams at night when we sleep. Here we continue to have experiences until we are reborn again in another physical body as a baby. Each reincarnating soul chooses a home and a family which can best fulfill its next step of learning and maturation. After many lifetimes of following dharma, the soul is fully matured in love, wisdom and knowledge of God. There is no longer a need for physical birth, for all lessons have been learned, all karmas fulfilled. That soul is then liberated, freed from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Evolution then continues in the more refined spiritual worlds. Similarly, after we graduate from elementary school we never have to go back to the fifth grade. We have gone beyond that level in understanding.

No idea where you got this idea from...

Like this there are 146 castes in Kerala alone for Christianity,

each will never share their churches for fellow Christians!

How sure are you? Can you show me where its written?

Well, we are talking about RELIGION not WHAT people are doing in its name! Indians are raping under your nationality...What do you want to make of the Indian nationality?
As an example!

The Shia will not go to Sunni Mosque.

Are you sure?

These two will not go to Ahamadiya Mosque.

That may be true coz they have an additional prophet! Hence a difference...we dont believe....

So visiting places of worship means soo much to you? What about terrorists who go to a mosque, temple to blow themselves?
How do you classify them? They DO visit mosques if not how they know which ones to blow?

These three will not go to Sufi Mosque.

Not true at all!

These four will not go to Mujahiddin mosque.

No Idea what that is!

Like this it appears there are 13 castes in Muslims.

I think India has more!

Killing/bombing/conquering/ massacring/... each other!

AGAIN:

That is preaching which when a Muslim does you call him a terrorist/ extremist! go figure!
