Hinduism General

>What is Hinduism?

Hinduism is the oldest organized religion in the world. It is the Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Law. It has no known origin and no founders - it is a synthesis of various Indian cultures and practices from as early as 4000 BCE.

Hinduism differs from Christianity and other Abrahamic religions in that it does not have:

>A single founder,
>A specific theological system,
>A single concept of deity,
>A single holy text,
>A single system of morality,
>A central religious authority,
>The concept of a prophet.

Hinduism is neither polytheistic, monotheistic, trinitarian or henotheistic, yet it is all at the same time.

The development of Hinduism was influenced by many invasions over thousands of years. The major influences occurred when light-skinned, nomadic "Aryan" Indo-European tribes invaded Northern India (circa 1500 BCE) from the steppes of Russia and Central Asia. They brought with them their religion of Vedism. These beliefs mingled with the more advanced, indigenous Indian native beliefs, often called the "Indus valley culture."

>Political Significance of Hinduism in this Age

All the decadence of the world today has been predicted by Hinduism.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_Yuga

Prophesied events during a Kali Yuga

>Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly.
>Rulers will no longer see it as their duty to promote spirituality, or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world.
>People will start migrating, seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source.
>"At the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen of the three higher varnas [guna or temperament] and when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser."

>Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other. Ignorance of dharma will occur.
>People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that.
>Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life.
>Sin will increase exponentially, while virtue will fade and cease to flourish.
>People will take vows and break them soon after.
>People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks and drugs.
>Teachers will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted, and followers of Kama(lust) will wrest control of the mind from all human beings.

So the hindu universe cycles after a period of time and a new universe is created?

The universe is always present, the things inside it go through a change

Krishnas true form is infinite faces, arms and beings. Is he saying he is inside all of us and everything is one? Or am i off?

Yup he's saying that, he's reflecting upon what kind of simulation this world is

He also says the soul is neither born nor dies. Is he talking about the atman (soul) awakening and returning to Brahman ?

hinduism is the aryan way.

don't fall for the three headed snake.

meditate. dharma and liberate.

Krisna is a reincarnation of Vishnu and Vishnu in Vaishnavism-sect resembles judeo-christian God a lot in how he's part everything and created everything. IMO if it wasn't for his reincarnations he would be the most boring of the sects. Compare to Brahma who is like a mix of god and Adam, or Siva who is like a goth Jesus that destroys the world at its end, but then is so benevolent he wants to save people and demons of hell. Or Devi who is the ultimate goddess of waifu- and Rule 63 fags.

Yes our atman is technically part of the cosmic consicness

ISKON doesn't represent all of vaishnavs

Im going to a hindu temple for the first time soon. I read there is a shrine to Rama whom i admire along with Hanuman. How the fuck to i worship to these shrines properly. I have no idea as i am new to Hinduism

You pray the way you feel like, their is no specific way to pray

yeah i thought so, thanks m8. Iv'e been reading up that some people consider Buddha an avatar of Vishnu. What do most Indian Hindus think of that?

Most Indians would agree to that but according to the lore he isn't an avatar as avatars reveal their identity before death and are predicted too

Man, the psychological aspect of Hinduism is fucking fascinating.

If Jung had gained in interest in it he'd have had non stop orgasms till he died.

He did write about Hinduism but was objectively wrong

Odd since it presents so many parallels to his ideas.

Hindus are always sperging out in some pathetic frenzy about how glorious god is, but that is due to their nigger blood causing repulsive hedonism and excess to be expressed. Even Hindu art is foul and garish, overwhelming the senses and preventing all thought.

And lets not forget the pointlessly complicated and incredibly boring list of deities and rules and traditions that are specifically designed to enrich "gurus" at the expense of the community. Half of the Hindu gurus operating today can't even admit that it is the kali yuga because that would be too negative for the "eat pray love" sluts they pander to for money.
