And circumcision.
Islaam doesn't require circumcision. But many forms/interpretations of Islaam make it an important practice. And it is (and has been historically) a widespread cultural practice (among non-Muslims as well as Muslims and Jews).

And circumcision.
I just followed the sentence written by Jainarayan to which I was responding.Appreciation of God's word in Vedas is not bad, however Puranas are not considered to be the word of God. They are like Sahih.

I read Bhagwad Gita many years ago. While having discussions in RF some Hinduism friends told me that not all Hindus believe in Gita. I inquired if there was a concise book on Hinduism or Dharmic Religions. They said there is none and nobody could read the Hinduism scripture even if one tried the whole life to read them. It was a shocking news for me.Namaste,
If you could enlighten me first on my question on post #261, again I ask why should Hindus take your suggestions?
#261
Dhanyavad
Belief in the Gita is not particularly necessary for Hindu practice, far as I can tell. While the Gita is highly regarded, it is entirely legitimate to disregard it if one's Sampradaya favors some other text or way.I read Bhagwad Gita many years ago. While having discussions in RF some Hinduism friends told me that not all Hindus believe in Gita. I inquired if there was a concise book on Hinduism or Dharmic Religions. They said there is none and nobody could read the Hinduism scripture even if one tried the whole life to read them. It was a shocking news for me.
It is sad that you apparently fail to see how at odds those two statements are.Atheism/Skepticism/Agnosticism is wrong, I am convinced. I value all Religions and I want they should all be strong in Religion.
They the Hinduism friends also told me that there had been a discussion in RF to make a concise Hinduism scripture but it failed.
Does it help? Please

Well, I don't agree with one that Buddha and his followers in his time were against Hinduism, it were the Hinduism (the one with Atheistic concepts) people against Buddha and his followers.I don't have any scripture, concise or otherwise, and I'm not complaining. Originally Hindus didn't, but things like the Vedas got canonised by the long struggle against the Buddhists and Jains. If some-one wanted to know whether a teacher was orthodox, they'd ask him if he accepted the authority of the Vedas.
Many Hindus don't agree with that either. Whether Buddhism opposes Hinduism, or instead emphasizes aspects of Hinduism that might have been neglected at that time and place, or else presents Hindu Dharma in a way that would be accepted by those sorry non-believers such as your truly is a matter of some debate.Well, I don't agree with one that Buddha and his followers in his time were against Hinduism, it were the Hinduism (the one with Atheistic concepts) people against Buddha and his followers.

Wise people, the Hindus are.
May I ask why? You are prejudiced. Why should one be a believer (in the existence of God)? What is the proof?Atheism/Skepticism/Agnosticism is wrong, I am convinced.
For a long time, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism were part of Hinduism. They were designated by words like panth (path) and Mata (view). Hindu kings always supported Buddhism and Jainism. In many cases, Jains were Chief Ministers (Wazirs) of Hindu kings. "Although Pulakeshin II was a Hindu ruler Xuanzang mentioned that there were one hundred Buddhist monasteries in his kingdom." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulakeshin_II#Xuanzang.27s_descriptionWell, I don't agree with one that Buddha and his followers in his time were against Hinduism, ..
Thanks, Luis, for appreciation of Hinduism and Hindus like ME (Here -> @Aupmanyav ).Wise people, the Hindus are.
We don't need a concise scripture. Scripture are but words. Practice of the faith is living.I read Bhagwad Gita many years ago. While having discussions in RF some Hinduism friends told me that not all Hindus believe in Gita. I inquired if there was a concise book on Hinduism or Dharmic Religions. They said there is none and nobody could read the Hinduism scripture even if one tried the whole life to read them. It was a shocking news for me.
Atheism/Skepticism/Agnosticism is wrong, I am convinced. I value all Religions and I want they should all be strong in Religion.
They the Hinduism friends also told me that there had been a discussion in RF to make a concise Hinduism scripture but it failed. So, the idea came into my mind, primarily for my own benefit to make one while I read them.
I never said that Hindus must accept my suggestions.

You won't have such consent. The reason being that you have given none of the Hindus here any reason to believe that you have any interest other than to selectively quote-mine and twist Hindu scriptures and force them into your pre-existing Ahmadiyaa worldview. You can do whatever you like, but don't expect consent, even from a liberal Hindu like me.
By consent I mean consent in creating one concise scripture. I already know what it will be. It will be a selectively quote-mined compilation of a few passages which, when one squints hard enough, can be read into the Ahmadiyaa theology, with 99% of everything else omitted, being dismissed as "corruption."
Whatever.
Thanks for your good and positive suggestion. I never thought about it.Have you found a publisher yet?
I am an ordinary man, and I feel no need for this. Why do you still think Hindus like me need this? About 10 people on this forum, representing a fairly vast array of Hindus, have told you we don't need this. So I ask, why are you continuing? If a person figures a tree needs watering, and 10 people insist that it doesn't, do you think he should continue watering the tree?Further to post #230.
Hinduism Scripture- The Compressed One
I wish that the ordinary man should be facilitated to read and finish the Hinduism Scripture in a reasonable time frame , the hegemony of the Brahmins/priests/clergy on the scripture should come to an end and people get spiritual guidance direct from the scripture itself.
Anybody, please

I know no such publisher. One may be in this profession or one may know some good publisher. If one could find a good publisher , ordinary people will be pleased to know the good news. Please
