in response to reader comment: Absurd Hinduism (Indian Paganism)

Dear friend Pamodha,

You are a human and so you are among the luckiest species on the earth. If you know that something is wrong somewhere then that is your duty to step ahead and stop that. I will try to keep my remarks very short. If you intend to understand you will understand.

We might not like something for many reasons. Some of then are as follows:

1. We do not understand it fully

2. We can not have it the way we want to have it

3. We are not very successful in life and so we are frustrated and want to let our anger on others

4. We lack knowledge which is only identity of a human else we are all animals

5. We do not want to come out of our comfort zone

6. We suffer from a complex

Hinduism never supported:

1. Killing of animals or any living being in the form of any sacrifice.

2. If cows, monkeys or rats are worshiped, think why is it so? If you are educated or you have a broader thinking, you can provide the reason for that to yourself :)

3. If you are Buddhist, you would learn, study deep and only after you have achieved the wisdom, you will open your mouth to comment on something or someone.

4. We should study the literature logically and with concentration

5. Partial knowledge is more dangerous and harmful than having no knowledge at all.

May Eishwar bless you
