THE ESSEENCE OF HINDUISM

Hinduism is one of the oldest religions followed by man. A religion of tolerance and acceptance , it has seen some bad times when, because of its misinterpretation , many Hindus had converted to other religions, while some also reconverted themselves to Hinduism. Many of its tenets like karma, maya, reincarnation, and reasons behind much of its religious activities and thoughts have found credence and acceptance the world over in recent times.

Hinduism is a dynamic religion and whenever it has come face-to-face with other religions , it has paused , taken a look deep within, and has shed those aspects which were distasteful – that it had acquired over many years – while accepting and absorbing the good in the other religion.

Goal of Hinduism

Self-realization, Knowledge of oneness and God is the goal of Hinduism. It can be further divided into many stages like the ability to sense the ultimate reality, insight into the truth, contact the supreme, and capturing the reality.
