Aham Brahmasmi

Dear friends,
  
        Hindu is not a religion. Its a culture followed by the people of India. Hinduism always follows universal acceptance.That is why we became slaves to many foreign countries. No founder is for Hindu culture. The culture is followed from the generations to next. But the fact is that this rich culture never ruined even-though many people tried to destroy it. It is growing. Hindu culture never tried to convert anybody to it, because we accept everybody as it is.

         Lots of Yogis , Maharshi's  and sages enriched our culture by giving Veda, Upanishads ,purana's etc. It is not only meant for a particular time being ,but its for all time. They taught us the valuable lessons of spirituality, ahimsa, peace and patience. The respect to elders and love to all living and non living things is a key factor for this religion. Hindus consider animals as sacred and protect them.Even rivers are sacred and considered as mother. Killing of cow, snake is considered to be a sin. At the Ashram of Sages the animals lived fearlessly, the most fierce animals become pets and friendly.Hinduism believe  what we give to others will reflect from them because we consider all are one.

         Hinduism follows many gods, but all gods are different form of same force called Parabrahma.The sages gave us freedom to practice prayers and rituals according to our will. There is no restriction in our culture to follow what we don't understand .Humanity and peace are the face value of  this culture.

        We believe in reincarnations and life after death. It is believed that a person after death will born again to any suitable place according to past karma. Karma means actions. Karma is divided into good and bad. Every karma has a result.The purification of soul by good karma's is the aim of rebirths. Moksha is the state that the soul unite with the supreme. The aim of the soul is to reach moksha and free from births. Yogis attain moksha by neutralizing Karma's by surrendering all karma's to god. When we surrender all our deeds to the supreme then we will get free from the chain of actions.

        The main attraction of the vendanthas and scriptures is its universal nature.We were here ,  we are here, and we will be here. We were in the waves of the sea and the blows of the wind. Soul has no death.We are nothing but part of the Supreme."Aham brahmasmi" means am god.This is the theme of Hindusim.

thanking you,'
god bless you
