Legends of the world believe properly
Hinduism started in between 2300 BC to 1500 B.C. Hinduism has no single founder
but instead a union of various beliefs. Hinduism is the world’s very oldest
religion. Many scholars and legends say it is old about four thousand
years. Now nine hundred million followers are following the Hinduism. This
is the third-largest religion behind Christianity and Islam. Approximately
ninety-five percent of the total world Hindus lives in India. The reason is
Hindu religion has no exact founder. It is very difficult to find Hinduism
origins and history. Hinduism is a unique religion and it is not a single
religion but collection of plenty of traditions and with the different
philosophies.
This Hindu religion is embracing many religious ideas. This can
be referred to as a way of life. This can be even called a family of religions.
Hinduism is henotheistic which gives meaning Hindus worship a single deity.
This deity is known as Brahma Hindu followers believe there are many paths to
reaching their god or goddess.
Hindus have believed in the doctrine of
samsara which is called total life from birth to death. The main goal is
to achieve MOKSHA or this could be said as salvation. Which is ending the cycle
of births, to become a part of the absolute soul, Hindus struggle to achieve DHARMA
which gives meaning code of living with the good conduct and with the morality.
Hindus follow the following texts Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda, and the
Atharvana Veda.
Hindus believe that the Vedas are trail all
the time and there is no end or beginning. Bhagavad Gita and eighteen histories
of the Gods mainly Ramayana and Mahabharatha are very important texts of the
Hinduism. In the modern Hindu history, Hinduism lasted from 500 to 1500 A.D.
Poets and saints recovered the spiritual sentiments during this time. In the
7th century when Muslim began invading areas of India Hindus were restricted
for worshipping their deities and many Hindu temples were destroyed by them. In
between 1757 to 1848 the British Government controlled India. By the new rulers,
Hindus allowed to practice their religion without any obstacle. Hindu deities
are very important for Hindus. Starting period of 1960’s many Hindus moved to
North America and Britain and they spread their faith and Hindu philosophies to
the western world. The panel of India took place in the year 1947.
The great
leader of the India Gandhi was assassinated in the year 1948, at this time
British India split Pakistan as a separate country. This is the reason the
majority of Hindus live in India. There are four main castes people in order
for their duties. Bhramin to the priest and to do the rituals, Shatrriyas for
protecting people, vaishyas skilled workers, Sudras are the unskilled
labourers. But all the above caste systems are changed even before many hundred
years ago. Now everyone can take any work. Diwali: the festival of lights
Navaratri: a celebration of fertility and harvest Holi: a spring festival
Janmashtami: a tribute to Krishna’s birthday Raksha Bandhan: a celebration of
the bond between brother and sister Mahashivaratri: the great festival of Shiva
all the above things are Hindu festival days and people get holidays for these
days.
