Re: What has Hinduism given to the world?
Guys these things are or were there in every religion...sati in hinduism, christians crucifying themselves on cross in Phillipines and in islam honour killings(hudood or whatever it is) etc. Just accept and move on.
But in this age, things have changed. We have new definitions. We will have to defy old definitions. I am sure hindu scriptures have spoken both "for" and "against" sati. If it hasn't spoken against it then we will have to defy it. "Hinduism defies definition". Look at this sentence positively, you will find explanations for every aspect in life. whether it is good or bad, right or wrong, north or south, east or west...covering the whole universe.....in the mean time defying itself (perhaps the only religion or creed or what ever it is that does that). It will cover every viewpoint. Both pro's and cons of life. It's just a question of choice and reap karma's according to the choice you made. By the way, this was just meant only to hindus. I dont mean to hurt anyone. I dont want to know what others think about my faith.And i dont care about it. thanks...and take care
