Hinduism is the world's third largest religion but seldom do people talk about it.?
It is the worlds oldest religion, given birth to Buddhism,sikhism,jainism. Is it because it takes a lot of time to study it or Hindus do not highlight their religion as other do.
I think that Hindus mind their own business, whereas people who carry other religious beliefs feel like they have to preach their religion to the rest of the world.
The fact is its not predominate in the western world. Christianity dominates and with politics Islam is in the news and as a result Judaism is brought out as well.
They are not demanding of power like Christianity. They know who to talk to any who not to. They are proud of it no matter how popular or unpopular it is. They have the ability to live and let live, unlike most others.
Apparently they are not trying to convert people, so no one talks about them. They let people be who they are, just as Buddhism does. Buddhism was really a reactionary movement, a means to end for the quagmire of Hinduism. Although Buddhism itself has suffered corruption and I would not compare modern day Buddhism with ancient Buddhism, the same goes for Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. The truth is their respective scriptures, especially does of the most mentioned ones are basically no different from one another, they speak of the same esoteric concepts of mind and being. But it's because they don't convert and Buddhism has become more popular than Hinduism and is reactionary to it, to bring the focus back to the point, instead of worship ping god(s).
That is the main problem Mr. Ganesh. You see the way Christianity and Islam have spread all around the world. Why have they spread so widely and even better than Hinduism?? It is because the Christian and Islamic countries spread their own religion with violence, compulsion and imperialism for the search of natural resources. Whereas Hinduism, which unfortunately remained confined to India, is because of the following reasons:-
1) As India is completely rich in natural resources, the Hindu scholars, leaders and kings did not think of leaving the country and spread their values, empire to any other land. They knew it because if you have read history then you will discover that India had a sound trade relation with other civilizations like the Greeks, Romans and the Egyptians.
2) As a religion, Hinduism is very very flexible, versatile and more open compared to its counterparts (Christianity and Islam). The people of India, especially the Hindu-Indians are open, happy, cheer full and are soft-hearted than the fanatic people of the rest of the world.
And anyway, it is said that the language Sanskrit is the source of all the languages in the world. Some Sanskrit words are also mentioned in the Bible too. So, why should Indians worry, LET US BE HAPPY.
Its being received in some discipline I mean study of scriptures but lost at some point of time,earlier their used to be guru and sis ha relationship and they used to teach and by word of mouth the knowledge carried and days have completely changed now no such gurus and such students exists ,so keeping these future generation our great Veda compiler Vidovic's gave us BagavadGita which is summary of all the Vedas,just reading it one comes to know actual purpose of a human life,and it stresses no such thing as Hindus or any identity for reading it,so its for entire humankind deliverance.
But the catch is its been clearly stated that one who is envious and not in liking should be never revealed this holy discussion of the supreme god.So that's it we never proclaim and make headlines ,its not particular about any ones its for everyone.
We believe in destiny and karma ,so if one is eligible then by the grace of god automatically he will come to know and will follow that path.
Religion is man made ,but knowledge benefiting out of it is actual substance,take a study of Gita and one will become identifying with the one universal identity rather segregated one.
