Query: Hinduism
Beliefs... What are basic beliefs of hinduism!
Kaivalya
Jnani:
Hinduism is not full of fairy tales... it is full of parables! Anecdotes,
short stories, even joke galore in Hinduism that gives life its meaning. As many human beings... as many
paths... as many versions of gods can there be. After all... the God we worship is hidden from us... only a
mental image exists within our brain. It can be any form... a statue or an image...
anything!
In Hinduism there is a belief that there are above 320 million gods. How
does it matter... how many gods are prayed to! The essence lies in the fact that we understand the true
entity of God... gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) at the earliest and finally reach the stage of salvation
(moksha).
Hinduism is the only religion in the world where rivers are worshipped as
goddesses and trees represent God Almighty. The medium can be any... the ultimate goal of life must be
adhered to. If we seek God in this very life... we need to travel the path traversed by Mahavira, Gautama
Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed.
Take the path of any religion... all culminate finally at the same goal
point. Why do we forget that God is everywhere! Those at the lower level need a medium to pray to God.
Accomplished spiritual seekers do not need a medium.
