HINDUISM - The First Culture of the world


Hinduism is similar to Humanism. It is not a religion, but a set of rules for Human to lead their life. This is by the people who made their own way of living by following nature to protect each other. Hindus worship many idols and each Idol has their uniqueness. It clarifies the stepping stone for Evolution of life. The main concept of Hinduism is to make human beings united, which means kindness, supportive, affection, peace. Also states to avoid Selfishness, violence, hatred etc.
Many books were written on Hinduism, called as Vedas, Vedangas, Upanishads, Puranas, and Itihasa etc. Whole world today leads life based on these written because of the positive and truth. Every religion derived from these rules and made their own add-ons to lead a religious group. Many countries today respect and follow Hindu culture and Hindustan (India). The fate gave a great respect, i.e. the only country got the name similar to Humanism is Hindustan. Hindustan is a place where Hinduism resides and also shelter for humanity, unlike selfish nations.

Unlike other selfish religions Hinduism respects all religions equally. “Sarva Dharma Samabhava” (Equality respect for all Cultures) is the slogan for Hinduism. Also “All gods are Equal and name varies”. Though Hindus speak different languages and different cultures, but united as a single country, although due to some selfish religious and political issues some parts are diverted. As long as Universe remains Hinduism is the only best culture as per many researchers, philosophers etc.

Where as western and selfish people use them as business products. The concept of one nation called Bharatvarsha is very old but every new thing based on our culture which is pride of Hindus.

“Uttaram yat samudrasya himatres chiva dakshinamvarsham tat bhartam nama bharati yatra santati” (Vishnu Purana)(The country north of samudra and south of Himalayas is called Bharatam her people are called Bharateeya).

The three fundamental principles that govern the behaviour of a Hindu are: -
Fearlessness (Abhay) - This is derived from the concept of Oneness of the Reality. Fear is of another; but when there is no other, fear cannot exist. Therefore all activity should follow the Truth without any distraction caused either by persons or circumstances.
Detachment (Asanga) - This implies continuous analysis of that which is transitory in the world and to keep one detached from it. This does not mean running away from life. One should live in the world but let one do so as a lotus flower, which is born in water, subsists in water, but lives above it.
Non-Violence (Ahimsa) - This is not to be taken in the physical sense. It means that one's actions should not cause emotional distress to another.

About Hindu Evolution
About Hindu Evolution
The three directions in which a Hindu should canalise his work: -
Sacrifice (Yagna) - This is continuous effort in life to sacrifice the negativity of the mind and substitute it with positive values.
Charity (Dana) - This is not giving of alms. It is the act of creating the plenty from which others can partake.
Austerity (Tapas) - This is persistent effort to sublimate the physical senses in order to eliminate the animal in man.

Proud to be Hindu, Proud to be born in Karma Bhoomi.

Whenever there is a disturbance in culture, a power raises to bring back the originality. History repeats.
"పరిత్రనయ సాధునం
వినాశాయ దుస్క్రితం
ధర్మసంస్థాపనార్థాయ
సంభవామి యుగే యుగే!"

Mahalakshmi Temple


I and my friends visited the Kolhapur Mahalakshmi Temple at Kolhapur during last year rainy season. Kolhapur was settled by Kolhasur, a demon who was later killed by Mahalakshmi to relieve the local populace, As per Hindu Mythology. Honouring the demon's dying wish, the city was named after him. As a big plan we booked our tickets for to and fro in a train and bus, half of the journey in bus to solapur and next in the train to kolhapur, as our bus late by one hour, we waited, and then started to our destiny. We reached solapur and get down the bus and station is near to the Railway station, later train was on time and in the morning time we got down by train and as per our plan we called the secretary of the temple, with his recommendation we got an economy room to stay. Later we entered into the temple it was historical temple with a glorious sculptures that with a story based.  And we paid for the pooja and as per tradition of temple we wore dhoti for that pooja and a condition to enter sanctorum (garbha gudi).
