"Hinduism" teaches you a lot of philosophy and spiritualism - if you had time to invest and understand it. It imbibes these things into you over time. The sense of right and wrong, the karma, essence of life etc begin to take their effect on you once you get into it. The current practice of Hinduism is not the actual depiction of what it was intended to be. Like every other religion it has evolved through ages, carrying with it some practices unknown and absent from the actual scriptures. If you happened to read the "Manu Charitra" and the "Pre-Mahabharat rituals and practices", you can find some noticeable differences. This page is to let you know of the places where there is abundant information on Hinduism and Spirituality in general. Given below are some of the websites which has collected so much information, I never imagined. Things that were too obscure, somehow found their place on these websites and is worth a good look. Here are the popular links for all the beliefs.
Hinduism
Most of my awareness of Hinduism and Spirituality owes to the large number of books, short stories, text books, novels and published articles I have read so far. After I got the hang of internet around ten years ago, my reach for information has expanded a lot leading me to sources of information, that I never would have had the time to lay my hands upon. And as Swamy Vivekananda says, Hinduism is not a religion but is a way of life. It is a bit different in its philosophical ideas when compared to other religions.
It really does not matter whether you are a Hindu and if you like Hinduism to know about it. I treat it as a subject which raises your level of conscience much the same way as my inquisiteness for cosmic celestial objects and their magnetic fields. So, if you want to know more about or need to clear a few things which you are not clear of, when it comes to Hinduism, try taking a dip in some of the websites below. You would wonder, why you haven't encountered these before? |
