Why Won't You Let me Be Hindu?

[wizanda]

Find it really unfair that repeatedly I'm not accepted as being Hindu; when the majority of my beliefs have more Hindu connotations than any other religion.

I'm continually making posts that try to enlightened other religious understandings, to concepts that are currently only properly found in Hinduism, and yet I'm rejected for being Hindu on here.

So please explain where you do not feel I'm a Hindu?

In my Hindu opinion.

Probably because the main theme of most of your posts is Abrahamic in nature and most of your quotes/verses are from Abrahamic literature.

Because your views do not remotely correspond to Hindu views?

Many of my more theological posts are about how Abrahamic beliefs should be more like Hindu structuring, and personally see the religions as one thing...

Thank you for the input, and get why the uneducated mind, might assume that I'm Abrahamic.

Everything has a logical reason, that can normally be deduced if the line of logic is followed.

In my opinion.

Because when you post you appear very Christian.

Well this is where you'll have to be more specific, as based on my understanding that isn't so...

My theology that there is one ultimate manifestor of reality, formless, and beyond the dimensions, is a Hindu concept of Brahman.

That there is a council of beings surround the one ultimate Source of reality, that have incarnated down here, is only understood as Avatars.

Aware of a Chakra system, that interconnects with the Divine which is only really discussed in Yoga.

Like literally most of my beliefs fit more with Hinduism than any other religion... So like saying I'm at a loss why people on here don't see it, please be specific.

Understand the religious bigotry aspect of not really observing what is going on in another religious section; yet people who'd looked at my post, should realize Christianity, Judaism, Islam, don't agree with the more Hindu theology presented within the scriptures by me.

In my opinion.

Heh, I feel you to some extent. A lot of my natural beliefs spiritually are probably in line with Hinduism than anything else. Anyway, I'd not worry about it, your Hinduism is mostly between your Atman and Brahman.

It's not a big surprise that you wouldn't see it. That's a given, really.

You and billions of others who do not identify with Hinduism. So, no go, on that one.

That there is a council of beings surround the one ultimate Source of reality, that have incarnated down here, is only understood as Avatars.

I've never heard the concept of the avatara put this way and am quite familiar with the concepts. So, though, somewhat similar, it isn't what Hinduism states.

Aware of a Chakra system, that interconnects with the Divine which is only really discussed in Yoga.

As do many in the New Age woo-woo circus. So what?

Just because you find some connection with your ideas about reality with Hinduism does not make you an adherent. I guess if you wanted to be your own Guru and start your own flavor of Hindu thought you might pull it off, but traditionalists wouldn't come running.


I have authentic connections to Hinduism, through two direct links, yet I would never dream of claiming to be a Hindu. I don't know why it is important to you for others to accept you as being a Hindu especially when, clearly, you are not. You are a hybrid.

Lots of people share some concepts with Hinduism. Lots of adherents of various religions share some concepts with other religions. Just because I agree with Buddhists about self-reflection, improving character, seeking contentment through inner reflection doesn't make me Buddhist.

Hinduism is another matter altogether, because the paradigm is primarily practical and experiential. Yes there is a philosophical bend, but nowhere near to the extent Abrahamic faiths are. The very tiny sample size of Hindus on here are skewed towards those who like to discuss.

Most Hindus, if not a large majority of us, don't care to be labelled one way or another. We're aloof, affectionately detached. So the very fact a person desperately wants acceptance goes against the teachings itself.

Having said that, anyone can call themselves whatever they want to, but if behaviour or knowledge doesn't back up that claim, then obviously there will be doubters.

To many, I'm not Hindu at all. It doesn't bother me one iota. To each his own.

I don't see anyone parenting you on that Hindu stuff.

It's not really Hinduism is it.

I followed a Hindu Guru for a few years. I don't consider myself Hindu because I've followed a lot of other beliefs too. People like me we tend to create a composite belief system by merging these ideas and concluding all religions are the same, when they are not.

Like Alan Watts combined Buddhism and Christianity and came up with something new and felt it was the correct understanding of both. However the original intent, meaning, essence of them were lost.

Instead of learning of it and practicing the belief as an actual devote, you're likely to end up promoting your own new age interpretation of it.

"LoL, I wanna be in the Hindu & Jewish club!!"

Never knew it was so exclusive to get into them both.

In my opinion.

 

[Sha'irullah]

Because you don't eat curry and probably can't stomach a single chili pepper. Filthy faker!

I don't like noob Hindus myself, I bet you do not even have a legendary Hindu Online account!

My stats:
Dhoti of Dharmic Regeneration: +20 Armor| +12 Dharma pts per 3 sec| Krsna Enchantment

Pagri of Almighty Siva: + 53 Armor | +47 Karma |

And I can cast spells: | Siva Stomp | Siva Dance of Doom | Ksna Charm | and Yoga Fire

I am a much better Hindu!




But seriously, you are what you are! You are probably more Hindu than most people born into it

Yeah, who the heck in their right mind would want to be Hindu anyway?

 

[Jainarayan]

Which doesn’t necessarily make a person Hindu. It’s like being pregnant... either you are or you’re not. You can’t be mostly Hindu any more than you can be mostly pregnant.

Can you give a very brief condensation of your religious/spiritual beliefs?

To be fair the term "Hindu" is a colonial mistranslation done out of indolence on their part. Many "Hindus" reject such a label themselves. Identify however you wish, just don't expect to be fully accepted as there is always an inherent need for people to be tribalistic. I'm sure there are some who don't consider me Hindu, but that's their business.

While you feel your beliefs have Hindu connotations, I do not recall anything in Hindu scripture or in transcriptions of the words of Hindu sages referencing CPUs or Matrices. Can you point me to something that might refute this assessment?

If you wish to follow traditional (or even neo-) Hindu beliefs and practices, use its terminology (or at least their westernized versions), and label yourself a Hindu, I'm confident that most Hindus (at least the one's I know) would accept this, however, even as one that doesn't label himself a Hindu as a matter of respect to its adherents, I take exception to a person that would refer to Brahman as a computer component.

My advice to you would be to consider identification with a new religious movement, which based on you contribution here, would be more encompassing of your beliefs.
