There’s a whole host of things Hindus are not “aware” of, though. What’s your point? Was your book written by a white scholar, by the way? If so, a fucking crowbar to his skull should do the trick of instilling real piety.

So you’re advocating murder to instill piety in white people???!!!

How did that comment make it past the admin?

Hinduism is NOT one religion. It is an umbrella term for the various ancient traditions of South Asia. Under that umbrella there are a multitude of sects, and each sect has it’s own organization(s) and rules for prayer and other practices.

There’s a whole host of things Hindus are not “aware” of, though. What’s your point? i only wrote that hindus could pray multiple times b/c rasika mathar stated that she didn’t understand why muslims pray 5x a day. i basically said there are hindus that do that. there’s no further point to my post.

also i disagree with you on your whole stance on hinduism. saying there’s no organization, etc. is what a lot of ppl mistakenly believe. there are volumes of books outlining what hindu practice is about (the vedas, the gita, the mahabharata, etc.). if you can do whatever you want then there would be no hindu law of karma or hindu law of samsara (rebirth where you have to work out your negative karma). also the word “dharma” which literally means “path” (not “do whatever you feel like doing because we have no organized rules”) is a word emphasized repeatedly in the religion. if what you’re saying is right then anyone can claim to be hindu including a devil worshipper.

i’m not sure where you get your interpretation on prayer from. there are prayers for materialistic things (like illness or wealth) but the ultimate objective is to see Brahman and one technique is through repeating mantras or the name of God. have you actually read through all hindu books cover to cover?

It's a disorganized religion. There is no central Hindu governing body deciding what to do or how often to do it like in Abrahamic faiths. Certainly there are prayer methods that will enable an individual to realize the path to overcoming something for a specific purpose as in the Artharva Veda (which, if you don't know, is a doctor's list of prayers) which are inculcative mantras towards the great overcoming. Prayer is also not homogeneously defined in Hinduism as it is in Abrahamic traditions.</p> <p>There's a whole host of things Hindus are not "aware" of, though. What's your point?
