Hindu Women treatment of hindu women

Hindu Women

India is a very large and diverse country. So many religions faiths... dogmas and creeds! The treatment of Hindu women in India is primarily dependent upon the social status of the family, living conditions and the society.

In the metropolitan cities and towns... the Hindu women are a respected lot. In the Indian parliament... the bill for equal rights is pending approval. Nowadays... many women representing their parts of the country are respected parliamentarians.

There are instances of very successful women entrepreneurs like Kiran Mazumdar of Biocon.

As we move towards towns and villages... Hindu women are a satisfied lot as compared to earlier days when womenfolk were practically treated a commodity.

In every walk of life, Indian women are competing better the world over. Whether it is the computer industry or the watch factory... we find Hindu women employed by thousands. This results in healthier family life.

In places rather villages where the chieftain of the village rules the roost... womenfolk sometimes are a betrayed lot. They do not get the expected respect.

Marriages far and wide are sustainable. To think of divorce in Indian circumstances is out of context. Divorce is still a taboo in India and not even one per cent marriages result in divorce. A women divorcee still has no life in India. Remarriage is not the order of the day.

Gone are the days when marriages took place forcibly. Now Hindu marriages are mostly by choice.

Hindu God
My favorite god in Hinduism is Lord Krishna. In the battle of Mahabharata... the sermon by Lord Krishna... that forms the sacred Bhagavad Gita is an unparalleled document in the history of mankind. Why?

The doctrine of Bhagavad Gita makes it clear that there is only one truthful entity in the world and that is God Almighty himself. Apart from God Almighty everything else is the work of Maya (veil of illusion). Bhagavad Gita confirms that the theory of Advaita Vedanta is the only subtle truth of life. The doctrine of Advaita Vedanta propagated by Adi Shankaracharya confirms the existence of God as the only truth of life.

Hindu Philosophy
Hindu philosophy is primarily governed by the sacred teachings of Bhagavad Gita... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata. This single document... the sacred Bhagavad Gita contains the gist of Hindu philosophy... the knower of which becomes omniscient and finally attains enlightenment and salvation (aka moksha in Hinduism).

Hinduism Religion
Hinduism is the only religion in the world that encompasses everything required by a human being to reach the highest pedestal of spirituality. The best part of Hindu religion is... one need not convert to Hinduism religion to learn the essential ingredients that form part of Hinduism at large.

Hinduism religion is also not a following of one sacred doctrine or preacher like in Christianity or Islamic dharma.

Reincarnate Hindus
Yes it is only Hinduism amongst all the religions of the world that clarifies how the souls' atmans manifest bodies one after another to reach the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! Before reaching the human form... every single human being has already manifested every form of animal life... none can escape this cosmic life cycle! Reaching the human stage means our soul atman has crossed life cycle of 7.3 million manifestations!

Worshipping Hindu Gods
Hinduism by and large is a religion without limits. To worship Hindu gods in most Jain households is a prevalent practice. On the eve of the Diwali (also pronounced Deepavali) one would find a horde of replicas of Indian deities installed for worshiping.

For a Hindu... to worship Jaina deities is not common, but for a Jain family to worship every Hindu deity is common.

Rituals form a part of extensive and deep praying. Conducting Hindu rituals in Jain families is not common but worship is.
