Hinduism doesn't exist

[Jason Voorhees]

Hinduism is less a singular religion and more a vast collection of loosely related spiritual, cultural, and philosophical traditions that were grouped under one umbrella term by the British and now used by politicians to consolidate a religious identity for votes


There are different sects with completely different beliefs. Some people follow Vedic rituals, others are into philosophical schools like Vedanta or Yoga and many worship local village gods or tribal deities that aren't even mentioned in mainstream scriptures. Many people worship cows, others eat them.Yes there are many Hindus that eat beef. You can even completely reject all the mainstream hindu gods/teachings and maintain a seperate identity as Nastika in Hinduism too. The Aghoris focus on mysticism, black magic stuff that's completely different from the temple-going, ritualistic Hinduism many others practice. The Bhagavad Gita doesn't have a single mention of any kind of commandments or rules or laws that someone has to follow. It just mentions the action and their consequences.

Every region has their own versions of it. Unlike Abrahamic religions Hinduism has no single founder, no centralized religious authority, and no universally accepted scripture this is the reason why you often see people referring to the Hinduism they follow as santana dharma to not be associated with the aspects of religion that they don't ascribe to.

Aghoris hindus in particular believe in black magic and the central parts of their beliefs involves mysticism and animatism also often encouraging drug use which is what attracts rebelling hippies from the west who are attracted to the idea of a religion so different to the traditional Abrahamic ones. Hinduism as a whole never was a religion in the first place. It was a more of a political identity if anything.

True the Brit's were to retarded to understand this so they just made up a new term aka "muh HinDuIsm saar".

I am too stupid to do that. But having a god for every single thing is based.

No wonder why some scriptures have profound wisdom whereas others partake in low IQ tribal shit (i.e bathing in cow dung)

That's the fault of being too accepting of different practices. Eventually it all gets absorbed into one cluster of vastly different beliefs and you don't even have a proper religion anymore

@Chadeep @loyolaxavvierretard @Lightskin Ethnic @vernier @2025cel @MaghrebGator @Rabbi

there were og indra worshippers who are still found in places like Greece, etc

they were basically med/euro passing curries who started a cult

iranics and zorastrians wre also there

then u also had aryanic and aasi mixing

nobody copied from nobody, we were all a single people once, the religions differ but the roots converge.

It also doesn’t help that it is the world’s oldest religion so it would naturally be open to a larger number of denominations, due to more interpretation in different time periods, branching out
Also polytheistic beliefs even if framed under monotheism (one above all), doesn’t help.. as it leads to Hindus prioritising different “Gods”, which isn’t an issue with other faiths

@Jason Voorhees other Abrahamic religions do have branches that differentiate from the other. In Islam, there are over 70
Christianity likely more

At the end of the day, a religion is loosely defined by what the majority of people of “that religion” believe
Hinduism does exist. It’s just the most diverse

We lived in different locations at the dawn of religious practice
They would’ve emerged independently

yet so many similarities between Nordic paganism and Hinduism between others.., they all stem from the same unit.

They’re both Indo-European it’s to be expected
But would these similarities exist between faiths on the other side of the world

I think instead of single-point convergence, this is more overlap

Zoroastrianism has the best approach imo. They also have (or at least had) a bunch of deities but it's unanimously agreed that Mazda is the one above all. I think some Hindus have a similar belief (i.e Shaivism) as that but a lot of them simultaneously claim that other deities are meant to be worshipped too

whos the most interesting figure/teacher in hindiuism in ur opinion

I'd say Kabir and Swami Vivekanda if you want to read about edgy and controversial figures. Kabir openly roasted muslims and hindus. He rejected temple rituals, caste, and scripture-worship. Called out Brahmins, Mullahs and even yogis. Swami Vivekanda attacked caste. Introduced science and rational thought and criticism in Hinduism

do you buy into any of Hinduisms (or a sects) core beliefs about existence, I was always looking for a more reason focused approach on Hinduism but at the bottom it still seem like its statements that could be true or not that you have to believe because the scripture says no? i find things such as neti neti meditation interesting thought experiments though and can see the link in thinking with more modern deconstruction

even if theyre not right its interesting that they approached such thinking paths so many years ago

As a Christian I find it interesting. Hinduism has a lot of super interesting ideas stuff like neti neti feels more like a mental workout or deep introspection than anything religious. You're not being told "believe this," but more like "strip away what you're not and see what's left."

But yeah once you go deeper, a lot of it does lean into metaphysical claims you kind of have to just accept like "the self is Brahman" or "the soul reincarnates based on karma." There's no way to prove that stuff, and most of the time it's like "this is true because the Upanishads or Gita say so."

So if you're looking for a reason-only, evidence-based system, it does hit a wall eventual . Still, I think parts of Hindu philosophy can be useful as frameworks or tools for exploring consciousness and identity - without needing to buy into everything. Hinduism has got it's gems, but you gotta sift through a lot of "just take it on faith" stuff too.

yeah well said

have you looked into Madhyamaka Buddhism its an interesting concept as well i can see the connection with the neti neti thinking

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Yeah. Madhyamaka's whole thing is that nothing has an inherent essence everything exists only in relation to everything else. It's not saying "nothing is real," but more like, "nothing exists independently." Even the concept of emptiness is empty.

 

[wollet2]

@Jason Voorhees are your parents Christian? whats your reasoning in putting ur faith there over any other religious or philosophical system despite irrational writings that even oppose science, just curious

Honestly, i can explain the karma thing better, Karm itself translates to action it basically means that every action has it's consequences, this consequences can be both positive or negative, for example if a man rapes a women, it will have a negative consequence on the women, however it does not necessarily mean that the man will suffer some divine wrath, it just means that his action will have some kind of impact. The whole soul reincarnation based on karma thing was used as a way to keep people on the path of good and to prevent them from becoming murderers, thieves etc.

the consequences seem to be random, not what most people think of karma

Exactly, Just like real life, the consequences are random.
