Hinduism religion

Hinduism primarily is not a religion... it is termed a way of life! Why? Every religion stems from the following of an enlightened one. Both Buddhism and Christianity developed after Gautama Buddha and Jesus Christ but Jainism does not derive its roots from teachings of Mahavira alone. In Jainism earlier to Mahavira there were 23 tirthankaras (preceptors).

India before becoming an independent republic was invaded from the east by Muslim invaders numerous times in the past! The invaders had to cross river Indus for the onslaught. The Muslims pronounced H for I. With passage of time people living beyond river Indus came to be known as Hindus and the religion... the beliefs followed by them as Hinduism.

Hinduism is primarily a conglomerate of various cultures, dogmas and creeds! Initially came Vedas; words of God that were directly invoked by the sages of that era! The four primary Vedas... the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda were voluminous documents... incomprehensible to the masses!

Came Lord Krishna around 3600 years before and the gist of four Vedas was reduced to the sacred Bhagavad Gita... which is also termed Vedanta (end of Vedas). One can find the substance of Bhagavad Gita hanging in every shop in India. In Hinduism we have many Upanishads (independent treatises) by renowned sages and saints of their era.

Furthermore we have two epics... the sacred Mahabharata and Ramayana that form the core of Hinduism. As far as sacred literature is concerned... Hinduism is never short of anything. Amongst all sacred scriptures available on Mother Earth, Bhagavad Gita is the foremost of all. For gaining enlightenment fathoming the depth of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita is necessitated.

Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed... all gained enlightenment following the teachings of the sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism! Literally Hinduism is the foremost of all religions existing on Mother Earth. Ever since mankind came into being, Dharma existed. With the advent of enlightened ones followed different religions.

For gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha), Bhagavad Gita is the only document on Mother Earth that paves way for reaching the end of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the last in the cosmic life cycle! The knower of Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism finally becomes the knower of all... gains omniscience for all practical purposes!

Hinduism has no parallel in mankind. For gaining the wisdom contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism one need not convert to Hinduism. Remaining in ones religion anyone can follow the dictates of Bhagavad Gita. The contents of Bhagavad Gita are universal in nature. It appeals to all world over.
