Hindus believe that whatever is written in Hindu religious scriptures can be found in other texts, but whatever is not mentioned, written or explained in Hindu scriptures, cannot be found anywhere else.
Hindu religion is the oldest one, is eternal and universal.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
cool. i always thought jainism was the oldest religion in the world.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
hmmm, does that mean all the scientists have been wasting their time and should really be looking for new ideas, discoveries, invention in the fore mentioned scripture?
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
it refers to spiritual text Kaleem, not scientific discoveries. There is no such thing as Hindu art or Hindu science or hindu mathematics. Religions should stick to speaking in metaphor otherwise interest becomes haraam, nomesayn!!!
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
The thing I love about Hindu religion is that it is so welcoming and it embraces everyone regardless of what one is. That’s certainly not the case with other religions.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
ok, my bad. I just did not realize that we could impose our point of view on what religion should stick to. If you believe that religion is word from a supreme being than you cannot restrict, impose, change it any way shape or form.
My other comment was to bring attention to the fact that all of us should be careful when we make comments like "but whatever is not mentioned, written or explained in Hindu scriptures, cannot be found anywhere else"...including Muslims, God Knows we are capable of it :)
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
See Kaleem, in easern religions. scriptures are guides not laws. God made humans with the ability to adapt the guide to the changing environment.
God would be silly to be static. Heck everything she bore changes so why not the word.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world’ oldest & eternal religion
Matsui, I disagree. It’s the dumb Ayrabs that have turned divine scriptures into a motorcycle technical manual. You can’t fix a bike that has no corroborator and doesn’t look anything like a motorbike. Islami scripture is also meant to be a guide.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
The good thing about Hinduism is that it confirms there is only One God, who is the Absolute and Eternal and it also mentions the coming of the Prophet Muhammed SAW.
Similar to the Islamic Faith.
The only difference here is that unlike Islam, Hinduism has been hijacked, manipulated, changed and man made rulings added in here and there to please the Brahmins, thus nullifying it's claim as pure and eternal? Just ask the Brahmins, Ksatriyas, Vaisyas, Sudras and Untouchables. They will all testify to the oneness of Hinduism and it's non discriminatory and non man-made practices. Yeah Right!
The Proof is always in the Pudding.
Produce your Scriptures as Evidence?
Re: Hindu Sanatan world’ oldest & eternal religion
Right and when you convert to hinduism they reserve a very special place for you in the heirarchy of their caste system, called Shudurs, all aspiring hindus would fit right in perfectly along with the customary share of atrocities.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world’ oldest & eternal religion
The only major eastern religion that has a concept of God is hinduism…Buddhism on the other hand does not require its followers to worships any deity, its more of a lifestyle where the followers through personal sacrifice strive to achieve the ultimate truth, nirvana…The other eastern religion are divised on the similar lines, but ancestor worship is big with them, particularly Taoism. And it is also becoming increasingly popular in Pakistan.
The Hindu concept of God is so dynamic and fluid as pointed by the ever so enlightened Hidekay Matsui, that one can take on whatever Gods they wish to worship. I like some of the latest addition to the Pantheon, Surface to Surface Pirthivis and Agnis Missile, Light Combat Aircraft and a little fella named Sachin…
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
^ exactly my godless communist friend. God is within you..eventhough you are without god.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world’ oldest & eternal religion
Yeah Che… how many Shudur women are equal to one Pious Muslim male? Can he marry 8 at a time if they converted to Islam?
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
H: My religion is greate
M: hein? Mine is bigger
H: oh yeah! mine is ancient
M: so what! mine came from God himself
H: we have a million Gods, you only have one!
M: yeah? is that why you worship a monkey?
H: hut! like you worship a stone don't you?
M: that's not a stone you Godhra killer, and it's not worship. We just have it to go around
H: yeah right, spoken like the temple breaking, jaziya taxing, 4 wife marrying mulla
M: why does it bother you, you mosque crushing, saffron robing, caste discriminating Hindian!
Mod: awright guys, that's it. enough already.
Are we done now?
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
pakistan and india fighting for their respective gods and destroy each other with nukes in the name of god? does one's god save other from nukes?
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
^ you wanna rephrase that question? if you really meant, then the answer is yes ofcourse. It's like the Indian postal and railway system. If God didn't exist, do you really think they'd have survived 70's thru early 90's?
The Godless rationalists are always waiting to pounce on any religious arguement (however stoopid the arguement may be) and try to get a dig into God.
Atleast the religions have a moderates and only a few extremists. The atheist or pure rationlist IMO are all extremists of pseudo sciences.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world’ oldest & eternal religion
How could Hinduism be the oldest religon on the face of the earth.We know first person who came to earth was Adam and he belived in one God and Ram, hanuman, krishna surely was not known to him.Further,Adam and his immediate succesors believed in monotheism not on over hundred thousand gods and godesses.So religion that preaches oneness of God is the oldest religion.Be it Islam, christianity or judaism but surely not Hinduism.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
Monotheism is a relatively new religious belief. Islam is even newer. The only reason you "know" Adam was the first person on earth is because of your faith, not because of history, science or fact.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world’ oldest & eternal religion
Exactly my point. Rangbaaz you should know what r u talking about. Ram, hanuman, krishna and everybody else were humans (kings) which were supposed to be avatars of gods. I am not trying to get in any argument, just stating the facts which are posted wrong.
Re: Hindu Sanatan world' oldest & eternal religion
OH plz, Hinduism was thought up by a few log sitting around trees, half naked, hinking about why that white object in the sky goes up and down day and night. Ooooo! lets worship it.
