Why do Hindus follow Shankaracharyas?
Christianity is not a local religion. It is spread all over the world. Had Hinduism been a world religion, it too would have faced similar situation. You can't expect a religious head in every country! Even MNCs have Corporate Headquarter in just one city whereas regional centres are there in many places.
Hindus have to deal with just one country i.e. India. Some hindus might have problem in understanding the concept of "world religion"
We Kashmiri Brahmins don't follow that dud
We have our separate gurus and mostly follow a deity of our choice . Like I follow none since I am an atheist Brahmin
Can hindus be progressive by becoming independent of Brahmins? Why follow their diktats?
You can have a look at my previous posts. I always advocate ban on cow slaughter to honour the sentiments of hindus. Its mutual understanding and respect which is the 'idea of India'.
Regarding commercialization, I believe all religions have developed a sound business plan through ages. A whole nation can face economic slump,face recession. Religious people are immune to such things. Our fear of God is their guarantee for economic security.
Brahmins hardly play any role in progressive Hindu societies .
Only a few Brahmins are left who still do yagyas and other stuff for people .
I as a Brahmin have never done yagya . Pooja is what I do on occasions and that is all .
