Hinduism for me

What is Hinduism to me ?

Hinduism, According to wikipedia is a categorisation of distinct intellectual or philosophical points of view, rather than a rigid, common set of beliefs. And its the third most followed religion after Christianity and Islam.

So Hinduism is a religion and the one who'll follows it are Hindus. Different people have different views on it.
But who is an HINDU.

-Hinduism never forces anyone to follow beliefs or follow certain sets of instruction. So in short we are free man.
-We are flexible. We can be whatever we want to. We can eat non-veg or veg. But our paneer butter masala is better than any chicken or mutton put together.
-We try to give equal importance to girls and treat them as goddess. At the same time we beat them and burn them for dowry. But don't you feel its a personality trait rather religious.
-We pray whenever we want to.
-Its not necessary to know or read our holy-books.
-We have lot of holy-books but nobody knows the ACTUAL holy-books (oldest) i.e. Vedas.
-Nobody reads Vedas nowadays except Arya Samaji.

Who are Arya Samaji?
They are followers of Swami Dayananda. Non followers of MURTI_PUJA.

So we have all types of people. We have rapist, we have thief's, we thugs, murderers and we have POLITICIANS.
BUT we have angels also. We follow single marriage and we worship our daughters. We give our kids a chance to follow thier dreams and we respect our elders.We are no way above or below any other religion, we are like others.

But there are some misconceptions.People says we are Hypocrites, my answer is yes, we are. Our religion is more older than you can imagine try to do wiki on it.

We follow Half man and half monkey, we follow Elephant faced God and we also follow God who sits on  snakes bed. We follows goddess who has a pet lion, and we also follows goddess who sits on lotus and spread education. so we have more than a crore God but you know every God has a origin from 3 God and Goddess. Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh(Shiva) and their respective wives Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati. and their origin is A VOICE, you know how it sound, it sound OHM.

So our God is also unseen(OHM) and every other thing is either their Avatar with lots of power that came up with time and additions to text. Our Vedas doesn't have a single mention of GOD. We follow them and our real Pandits follow them. Everything else is a source of power and light for our internal enlightenment.

And this what Hinduism to me. We do not bow in front of anyone and we do not dis-respect any other religion.

Ohm- Source to everything.
