Dost Mittar Sahib,

Great article!

You are to be commended!

As a scholar of Religious Studies, you have presented a very scholarly article on Hinduism and explained its belief system and history very well.

The points contained within your essay are shared by the foremost scholars of religion in the world.

Thank you

I was born a Muslim. I consider myself to be both a Muslim and a Hindu. My Hinduism professor Gail Sutherland told me once that she perceived me to be more of a Hindu than a Muslim. I think she was right.

I am not an arab or an Iranian.

I am first and foremost a person of Indian cultural ethnicity.

That very fact makes me a Hindu for I am too a person who was born on the east side of the River Sindhu, in the land of Sapt-Sindhu!

I really do not know why all of the interactors are so bent upon abusing each other's religon.....
I am not religous but at the same time I do feel that religous fervour is only intensified when one's religon is abused....
No matter how much we like to disown....
Religon is one of the things which does form our identity....
Even Einstien despite being an Athiest started calling himself a jew when jews were being abused.....
Religon always has a reactionary element...
You abuse someone's religon or even give "logical" criticism...
It will always intensify the fervor....

thomas jefferson said :

“Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a god because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear…

Do not be frightened from this enquiry by any fear of its consequences. If it ends in a belief that there is no god, you will find incitement to virtue in the comfort and pleasantness you feel in its exercise, and the love of others which it will procure you. If you find reason to believe there is a god, [then] a consciousness that you are acting under his eye, and that he approves you, will be a vast additional incitement…

I repeat that you must lay aside all prejudice on both sides, and neither believe nor reject any thing because any other person, or description of persons, have rejected or believed it. Your own reason is the only oracle given you by heaven…”


...... now, if you want to believe in flying monkeys rescuing damsels in distress, winged creatures talking to men in dark caves, men in sandals walking on water and other such nonsense, it is your business ...... just make sure you slap the fool when you look in the mirror ......

agreed 100% Hamidm. I don't know one hinjew that has seen an elephant riding a rat...or a musala..who has seen a winged horse go to heaven...but I have heard of hinjews marrying their kids off to a tree or a dog...and musalas banging 6 yr old kids.

“That very fact makes me a Hindu for I am too a person who was born on the east side of the River Sindhu, in the land of Sapt-Sindhu!”

You can shout to your heart’s content but you will still not be a hindu until you accept Hindu faith on the hands of Pundit Laddu Maharaj bombai wala.

Since I have completed the ritual and am accepted by the Pundit, I am really a hindu now! This is a unique honor that Pundit Laddu Maharaj bestowed on me and not on you!

You will remain a fake Hindu no matter what your Christian Professor said to you.
Only Pundit Laddu Maharaj can declare you a hindu.

Anyway, going by your features alone, you are hindu!

Hamidm,

I invite you to join the Hindu faith and take advantage of the Pundit Laddu maharaj's presence on this board!

Any one who dares to define what Hinduism is, will be in trouble. He has to get his head examined first.

Kamath

I am willing to do everything for the good of Hindu religion. I wanna make it a paak saaf religion unlike what it is now.
Btw,
Pundit Laddu Maharaj promised me Brahaminhood and I know a great Hindu leader and a Pundit like him won't lie!

HP

Its too late. Save ourself, join the Church of Scientology.
Tom Cruise is the next messiah.

Yeah Laddu may have promised Brahminhood because getting a "achoot" certificate is not that easy.

Eklavya,

A person who sees a hate-monger as a messenger of peace is having problems with what others are seeing? Hello.

Eklavya:

I inadvertently flagged your post. Didn't mean to.

Eklavya,

It is like a Pakistani pointing to Christian attacks in india.
Yes there are attacks on Missionaries because right-wing doesn't like their conversion activities. But what fate the Christian Missionaries will face if they open up their shop in Pakistan?
Will they be allowed to preach the message of Christ and allow peaceful conversion of poor Muslims to Christianity for a loaf of bread?
