Religion is the guiding source that shapes humanity When it is used wisely, and not as a tool causing a catastrophe. Of the various religions that originated from time to time My pick for today is Hinduism, without any fine line. Developed in the Indian subcontinent, and followed by a billion or so This is one of the oldest religions just to let you know. Polytheism is in its nature with an array of gods and goddesses Whose idols one may find in colourful temples and wayside shrines. Believing in the existence of a supreme ruler one whom we call ‘Brahman,’ His presence is felt in every form, whether it is in air, water, land or boarding dorm. Followers of Hinduism call themselves Hindus They tread the path of Dharma that helps them in accumulating good ‘Karma.’ Like Buddhists and Sikhs, Hindus, too, believe in ‘Samsara’ An endless cycle of birth, life, and death, unless you turn your bad habits around and make weaknesses your strengths. Worship is an important aspect of the religion, and so is pilgrimage Rendition from religious books, often strengthens one’s faithfulness. Hindus believe ‘Moksha’ to be the ultimate goal That is the key aspect in making all of their lives whole. No matter how different or unique we are Let us keep hatred and animosity afar Because religions unite, they do not set us apart It is important to treat everyone as one, with all our hearts. |
