Hinduism is the direct descension of the Grace of God which is manifested in the form of its Divine scriptures. Hinduism reveals the complete philosophy of each and every aspect of God and the creation of this universe, and, at the same time, it shows the path of God realization for all the souls of the world. The original Divine teachings of Hindu scriptures are authentic Hinduism.

The true form of Hinduism can only be established in the literary world when the researches and publications are oriented only according to the true theme and the guidelines of Hindu scriptures. In the Hindu scriptures, sincere intellectuals find all the answers of their intellectual quest; pious scientists find the condolence of their heart and a guideline for their further research; truthful scholars find the philosophy of their liking that opens the path to God; and the selfless devotees of God find such a sure and simple path of devotion and adoration to their beloved God that fills their heart and mind with the sweetness of the devotional love.

Hinduism differs from Christianity and other Western religions in that it does not have a single founder, a specific theological system, a single system of morality, or a central religious organization. It consists of “thousands of different religious groups that have evolved in India since 1500 BCE.” (extracted from religioustolerance.org)

Hinduism is often stated to be the “oldest religious tradition” among the world’s major religious groups or as “oldest living major tradition”, It is formed of diverse traditions and types and has no single founder.

“Om purnamadah purnamidam purnaat purnamudachyate,
purnasya purnamadaya purnamevaavashishyate”

“That (pure consciousness) is full(perfect); this(the manifest universe of matter; of names and forms being maya) is full. This fullness has been projected from that fullness. When this fullness merges in that fullness, all that remains is fullness.”
-Peace invocation- Isa Upanishad

We have questions like who has created Hindu religion? Hinduism cannot be described as an organised religion or some one has created this religion. We can call it God centered as Hinduism God centered. Now how God centered? Hinduism is based upon Eternal Principles. Eternal principles apply to all human beings everywhere.  The laws of physics exist and work all the time. The healing principle will get to work immediately the moment a little cut is sustained on a finger. No one can tell when this healing principle began or when it will end. It is there existing eternally, all pervading (available everywhere), omniscient (aware all the time and therefore healing principle gets to work when injury is sustained). (These simplified examples serve to understand God’s power: omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent).

Hinduism is based upon Eternal Principles. If a great scientist like Einstein, discovered or realized laws of physics, Hinduism would call him a great Rishi (Maharshi or seer of truth.) Such seers of truth are not confined to any one age or country. Self realized persons like Jesus Christ would be called Rishis (seers) and their teachings would be readily acceptable to those who properly understand the principles of ‘Hinduism’. From the ancient times, many great Rishis achieved self-realisation through such practices as meditation and austerities and they realised knowledge concerning Eternal Principles. Their knowledge, taught to disciples, and eventually made available in written form, is known as the Vedas (Ved = knowledge), the scriptures upon which Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) is based. Sanatan means eternal and Dharma means religion.

The word ‘Hinduism ‘ does not appear anywhere in Hindu scriptures, The proper name for Hinduism is ‘Sanatan Dharma’      Sanatan = eternal  Dharma = religion.

Hinduism is God centred whereas other religions are prophet centred. For this reason the whole of mankind has to abide by (or is affected by) the eternal principles. The question of acceptance or rejection of Hinduism by any individual simply does not arise, or is irrelevant. It is illogical to talk of conversion to Hinduism. It is like saying that the laws of physics (e.g.gravity) will apply to you only if you belong to an organization or organized religion.

[The ceremonies and rituals connected with Hinduism   (and other religions) are designed to cultivate increased spirituality. At advanced level of spirituality, rituals and ceremonies are dispensed with] To know more about this, please refer to the honoured website http://www.hinduism.co.za , as the some help has been taken from this webiste.
