Newsweek: We are all Hindus

 

 

The Newsweek article here  says that a recent poll showed that conceptually, atleast, Americans are slowly becoming like Hindus.

 

It says  ‘A Hindu believes there are many paths to God. Jesus is one way, the Qur'an is another, yoga practice is a third. None is better than any other; all are equal ‘.  Hindu myself, I wonder why Hindus hate Muslims!? Well, I don’t believe the ‘many paths to god’ thing (I’m sure majority of the Hindus don’t either).   The way I have been thought to live my life as a Hindu is ‘It is Bhagwan Krishna…or  you are automatically en-route to Narak (hell)’

 

In my mind, the Americans are becoming like Hindus, NOT by believing that there are many paths to god or spirituality, but by having a common enemy ‘Muslims’

 

The day to day practices of a Hindu and the scripture is worlds apart!  Instead of saying ‘A Hindu believes’, the author should have said ‘Hindus are supposed to believe (but majority of them don’t)….”
