Hinduism promotes peace universally. Hinduism says that believers of all faiths go to heaven. It also states that gods of all the religions are true. Hinduism is the religion which says that all paths lead to that ultimate One. An important Hindu prayer is "Loka Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu" which means let the whole world be happy !
Hinduism respects all living beings. Hindus believe that there is divinity in every one. The Hindu salutation 'Namaskar' or 'Namaste' means that I bow to the divinity in you.
Hinduism worships the feminine form. It has high standards for women, and Hindus worship feminine goddesses like Durga, Kali, Lakshmi , Radha and Sita. Hindu women have a high place in the Hindu society.
Hindu mythology and scriptures are divine and pearls of wisdom. The Vedas , The Upnishadas, The Gita, The Ramayana, The Mahabharata, The Srimadbhagvatam, all teach us good morals; and help us in every walk of life.
Hinduism also promotes good mental and physical health. It is not only a religion but also a way of life. The practice of getting up early in the morning and taking bath, and then practicing Yoga keeps one in good stead. Hinduism promotes vegetarianism, thus not eating meat keeps us healthy.
Hinduism is a celebration of life. The fun and frolic associated with Hindu festivals can be seen only in Hindu religion. The Festival of Light or Deepavali or Diwali, gives us the message of victory over the evil. It gives us renewed faith and hope in life. The Festival of colors or Holi, also gives us the same message – victory of good over the evil. It fills our lives with colors and promotes peace and brotherhood, as on this day, all the enmity is forgotten and people become friends again.
Jai Shree Krishna !
Blessed Be...!
