>the culture that couldn't figure out that ritual bathing in the same river where you dump your dead, your garbage and your feces is bad, was right about the nature of consciousness and reality
Why the fuck aren't Hindu websites consistent and why don't the give concrete sources from where they are picking up these theories from? What verse of what book are they referring to? I don't want to listen to old bearded men or essays. I want books with words on them. I want solid proof of things. Not this. And then maybe, just maybe, if I like it I'll consider it to be a legitimate religion. Or it's just a whole culture of confusion.

Hinduism isnt really a proper religion. You see, hinduism isnt mind control. Hinduism is all about achieving higher consciousness.

No. Religion is cult like a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object
In hinduism, you dont worship, you become a literal god if you wanted to.

>Is hinduism the final pill? Not Hinduism. But the Gita is the final pill. A lot of ideas presented in the Gita, when interpreted from an advanced technological point of view, make perfect sense.

>right about consciousness Ahahahahahahah right. I read your OP firstly as satire, but then realised you were being serious. We know very little about consciousness. Literally all you streetshitters are doing is guesswork.
Jordan Lopez
>Why the fuck aren't Hindu websites consistent and why don't the give concrete sources from where they are picking up these theories from? Because Hindus don't understand the meaning of the Mahabharata or the Gita. The Mahabharata is a story of an advanced technological race. It's not going to make sense when people with street shitting tech start interpreting it. >I want solid proof of things. Proof of what things? Most of the ideas presented in the Gita can be verified by observation. I say most, because authors have corrupted the Gita with their own ideas and own interpretations. You have to figure out which ideas were the original ideas and which are from 2nd rate Indian authors.

No. Hinduism is not a religion. A religion is all about certain practices and rules and regulations and God’s fury if you don’t follow. They always glorify God, His fury, His greatness, His compassion, His forgiveness and all sort of things like that. If you ever read Shreemad Bhagwad Gita, you’ll find that it never emphasises on such notions. Because Hindutva talks about being divine and not worshipping divine, being one with God and not merely worshipping Him.
A religion is formed for an inferior level of intellect. An intellect that needs to be kept under constant fear in order to make it well behaved. Intellect that needs to be punished by harsh laws in order to make it well behaved. That’s the very essence of the notion of religion. It always looks up for solutions.
Hinduism is Dharma (Right Path). It is a Sanskriti. And by Sanskriti I do not mean culture. It means the seeking of Dharma. Now what Dharma seeks is eternal truth. Irrespective of point of view or time it shall prevail. You aren’t forced to believe any thing. But the right things are logically explained and seeking of those right things is Dharma. It tells you to look within. God’s done a magnificent job making you. Now it’s your turn. Look within. You are immensely empowered. You have got an intellect that no other creature has got.
Humans are confined by limits. We are mortal creatures i.e. confined by time and in the same way confined by wisdom, energy and emotions. Hinduism seeks liberation from these. It seeks to be LIMITLESS. It wants to rise above all dimensions holding us to our limits. To become one with the super consciousness.

>A religion is all about certain practices and rules and regulations and God’s fury if you don’t follow. Yes, in Hinduism, God's fury is called Karma. >They always glorify God, His fury, His greatness, His compassion, His forgiveness and all sort of things like that. Yes, that's how it is in India. Everyone mentions the glory of some God everyday. Children are taught to be good kids else face the wrath of some God.
Have you lived in India? Or are you just a Indian kid in Canada? Or did you come in contact with some book by some guru and now you're mindblown?
>If you ever read Shreemad Bhagwad Gita, you’ll find that it never emphasises on such notions. And that is why I say you're confusing the Gita with Hinduism. Gita is a subset of Hinduism. It's Krishna's sermon to Arjuna in the field of battle.
The Gita is not equivalent to Hinduism. Hinduism has a lot more aspects on caste, worship and way of life than the Gita. >A religion is formed for an inferior level of intellect Yes. >Hinduism is Dharma (Right Path). No, that's the Gita. >And by Sanskriti I do not mean culture. You use the word for culture and then say you don't mean it? >It means the seeking of Dharma I don't think you have malicious intensions, but you're completely lost on the interpretations.
Figures. That's what happens when you follow 3rd rate gurus who don't understand the world. >You have got an intellect that no other creature has got. That's wrong too.
>Hinduism seeks liberation from these. Gita, not Hinduism.
Logan Anderson
>Karma
"Karma" literally means "action" or "reincarnation", and more broadly names the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction, which Hindus believe governs all consciousness. Karma is not fate, for we act with what can be described as a conditioned free will creating our own destinies.
Wyatt Fisher
>yfw bathing in the same river as where you dump your dead, garbage and feces boosts your immune system over centuries to the point where you can eat rotten meat and survive
>"Karma" literally means "action" or "reincarnation", Well, no. In order understand the true meaning of the words, Karma and Dharma, you have to apply your translation to all possible occurrences of the words in the Gita. When you do that, you will realize that neither Karma nor Dharma mean reincarnation.
Let's start from the top. The Gita is a very precise document, but it can only be understood by a race exposed to advanced technology. Not by priests or Gurus. People with inferior technology will always give an abstract and often incorrect meaning to the teachings in the Gita.
So, let's begin.

Part 1.
Let's start from the top. Rta is the laws of the universe - the overall set of rules on which the universe operates. Authors usually don't discuss Rta because they themselves don't understand it.
Dhrama is a subset of Rta. If Rta are the overall set of laws of the universe, then Dharma is the laws according to which an individual's environment operates. Hence the phrase that one must follow one's Dharma. Dharma is defined on an individual level. In addition, in almost all occurrences of the word Dharma, it is always attributed to a single person - not a collective. Why is Dharma defined on an individual level? Because everyone has their own path in life. The paths of two people are almost always never the same.
Once you understand that Dharma is the laws according to which an individual's environment operates, you understand that Karma means the CONSEQUENCES OF ONE'S ACTIONS - NOT THE ACTION ITSELF.
So you have Dharma - which is the laws according to which an person's environment operates and Karma - the consequences of one's actions in accordance to one's Dharma.
The Gita almost never mentions positive Karma - Karma is almost always described as to mitigate the negative effects of not following one's Dharma. HENCE KARMA IS THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE OF ONE'S ACTIONS WHEN ONE'S ACTIONS ARE NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ONE'S DHARMA.
Kayden Mitchell
Part 2: continued from So what is reincarnation in the Gita? Does it mean a metaphysical reoccurrence of one's soul in the mortal plane?
No. One's reincarnation is one's child. The Gita does not go into detail about reincarnations - in fact, it's quite possible that the content on reincarnations were added later by substandard monks who didn't understand the universe themselves.
Hinduism mentions reincarnation almost exclusively in one single context - Karma. It is said that if you do not clear your Karmic debt, it carries on to your reincarnation.
The only scientific interpretation of reincarnation is one's child. Your child is your reincarnation because your child carries only 50% of your genes. Once you understand this, the context in which the word reincarnation is used in Hindu texts begin to make sense.
SO WHY DIDN'T SCHOLARS EXPLICITLY REFER TO ONE'S CHILD AS ONE'S REINCARNATION?
Much of Hindu society derives its laws from the Gita and other vedas. Even if the scholars had realized that one's reincarnation is one's child and they had chosen to mention it, they would have essentially legitimized violence against the children of wrongdoers. To any scholar, no matter how adherent to the truth he/she is, this is not acceptable.

hinduism is satanic idolatry fuck off pajeet

>Karma is not fate, for we act with what can be described as a conditioned free will creating our own destinies. Part 3. Continued from The Gita is mainly Krishna teaching Arjuna about Dharma and Karma. But the teachings don't make much sense unless you interpret them in a broader context of the universe, how it operates, and why one must follow one's Dharma.
Much of the Gita is anecdotal. We don't know if Krishna was retarded enough to teach Arjuna is such vague terms, or if the scholars who were taught the Gita only understood it vague terms.
Either way, Dharma and Karma make sense only for a technologically advanced society where each individual's role in life is either well defined or becomes well defined as the individual lives on.
A role based society is only possible in societies where communication is fairly advanced, such as the modern west. Communication permits the propagation of propaganda and subliminal suggestions on how to live one's life.
The NPC meme really epitomizes the anecdotal examples presented by Krishna in the Gita. Krishna, who's not an NPC is essentially teaching how the universe works to an NPC - Arjuna. The best Krishna can do is to teach Arjuna anecdotally (assuming that was the original teaching). Else, the scholars who wrote the Gita later were NPCs who didn't completely understand the Gita's teachings.
Either way, once you interpret Gita from a technological perspective, the teachings of Krishna begin to make sense. Krishna as a living organism begins to make sense. The Mahabharata begins to make sense. The technological loop which generates the cycle of life begins to make sense. The human condition begins to make sense.
If you interpret the Gita without technology, then you end up with vague interpretations that teach little and cause more confusion than anything.
