shiva being a god could not identify his son ganesha and he chopped off his head how do you think he'll identify the humans from the begining of the earth & uptill the last day of the earth, it doesn't makes sense, the god is he who does not require a father to born or a son to succeed, you people got such a extreme machine called brain & you people blindly believe what ancient people told, lord is he who is not needy example clothes to hide his or her parts flowers & other ornaments to look beautiful or a crown, hands like us to hold a rat to travel on it a flower bed to rest, if you believe that god with the human forms provides us all we need then who provides them what they need? use your brains for god's sake.. |

if krishna flirts with the girls & if its not a sin being a god then we as human being flirting & enjoying with girls is also not a sin isn't it ? and if parvati being a god dies & takes a rebirth, then who is the person who srewed her mother made her to come into life? |

Hinduism is beyond religion. It's a way of life,science,philosophy,psychology...etc. It's like a deep ocean and to discover hinduism is like unleashing the mighty power of the tiny atom...Aum Shanti |

Hi, I think Knaika got carried away in thought of imphasisng one fact that hinduism is not a religion and its a way of life. while her point was true her writeup was not. and may be a proof reading by her self was needed.
I do agree on her point that Hinduism offers much more flexiblity and freedom and much more choice, it also have too deep knowledge shared in terms of Vedas, upnishadas, puranas and then Gita and Ramayan and Mahabharat this are main sources of knowledge in additions there are lot from individual saints, philosophers Gurus etc.
one thing I know about my belifs which world calls (Hindu religion) is Religion or Dharma as we call is not a some rituals or practice instead it is details of your responsiblities, for example
if you are a son you are obliged to follow religion of a son (Putra dharma)
if you are a king, follow raj dharma (religion of a king)
if you are a servant follow religion of servent (sevak)
if you are a guest follow religion that of a Guest (Atithi dharma)
there is long list of such dharmas (religion as english dictionary translates it) but I will say its about your duties or obligations. so a individual has to go through many religions (Dharmas) even with in a day.
Also ther is a mis-belif about hindus have many gods/ daities on contarary any one who have gone through Hindu scriptures will agree that it conveyes about one and only god a god whose discription is said as the one which has no begining and no end it is a power or energy which was there even before the univerce came to existance and will be there even after its end. kanika has mentioned some lines for shiva hich actually reflects the theory of "The ultimate one" but what she didn,t mentioned is Brahma Vishnu and Shiva are one and the same the ultimate God took three easy to understand forms and took ownership to establish, maintain and distroy the univerce which gose beyond the Earth, and one Galaxy.
My sharing is limited to best of my knowledge because even going through single veda is a years and years long excercise and to understand Hinduisam just reading one Veda is not at all enough. |

I was going to correct your fact about Lord Shiva's eldest son but it seems that others share my insight as well, to be frank, I'm too late.
Anyway, I could not truly comprehend which side your general message was leaning towards. I just don't get it. I connect with your article for a few sentences and the next moment, I find a statement with comprimising truth content.
Maybe you should really check your facts, if you get all your facts right, then people can respect you as a person who understand what you are saying. Because now, you appear to have offended some Hindus and earned disrespect as a reliable writer.
Well, at the end of my comment, I still don't get you. Ah... one suggestion, you should label your articles as "My opinions and mine only, disagree or hate it if you want to, I'm just expressing my thoughts." That would be a wee bit more polite. You can choose to say "no offence, mates"
By the way, to me, religion is my culture. The way I live. Religion is a philosophy. All religions are. What are religions but ways to live a better life? To make people happy. To be happy. |

if a peice of cake is 8000 feet tall and the titanic is driving at it at 1999 miles per hour, how many seconds did it tack for the moon to crash into the sun, if the earth is in between them heading toward the moon at 1500000000 mile, and hour and a mouse dressed up like a knight and stopped lord voldemort from killing mario after mario killed voldemorts best freind , the pied piper. And you have to remember that mario and the pied piper had fought for over 6hours before mario finally stabbed him in his hand, and the piper bled to death |

The author of the article 'Is Hinduism Really a Religion?' seems to have written the script without any deep understanding of the Indian Culture. It will be bettter not to propagate such type of half baked essays on topics that are sensitive like 'Religion'. My humble sugggestion to the author is to remove the article from the web site. This is the greatest HELP the author can do. 'Help Ever Hurt Never' is the essense of all the mythological stories of India. Anyone who like to discuss further on this can contact me on my yahooID - rosewealth |

What evidence do you have when you say that Radha was married? And Lord Krishna, who has a very large number of followers, was by no means greedy like you have mentioned in your write-up. |

"Krishna is the God of all things worldly. He was a greedy, naughty and extremely pampered child, who started flirting with the milkmaids of his village while still a toddler. He is the biggest anathema of Hinduism, he is not perfect, he is completely immersed in worldly pleasures, and indeed there are dances devoted entirely to his flirtations with an older and married woman, Radha. The tolerance and indulgence that Hindus show to their Gods is reflected here, in abundance. "
-- Utter BALDERDASH, this article isn't worth a pinch of sea-salt. It masquerades as a scholarly article whereas the write-up makes the ignoramus behind the article abundantly clear.
Just one of those cheap, rotten tirades against Hindu Gods with no real substance. |

Christianity is Not the only way to reach God -like it or not! Hinduism knew the science of God before Jesus appeared. |

Your facts about the sons of Siva is wrong .Please rectify. The eldest son is Ganesha .The younger one Karthigaya.
Well you cant say a Hindu does not have to follow the nyama( practical system). It may be because the Hindus are not controlled institutionally.But self controlled in this era.A Hindu has to maintain his atmartha puja (puja for self ) & Parartha Puja for all living souls.
Well we will suggest that you should write the facts after a clear picture of Hindus in practical, not the lay ones who are poor in Divine activities and struglying for daily chores. |
