    If you were to be reincarnated, what would you like to be reincarnated as?
    I do not repent about anything I consciously did, and very much believe in myself. So I would want to come back as myself, born to the same parents!

    If there was one question you could ask god, what would it be?
    What are Your uncanny ways?

    What is your idea of happiness?
    Doing my work to my fullest capacity and commitment. When my voters thank me it gives me immense pleasure because this is the belief with which they have voted for me and here I am, able to deliver something to them.

    Pashupati templeBy: Cholannaad | 10-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward The Indian Priests in the Pashupati Temple in Nepal have been hounded out and replaced. Thus buldegning the Nepali Hindu community into submission
    Hinduism a way of lifeBy: KT kishan | 10-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward Only politicians especially in India talk like this "Fate definitely has its own uncanny ways. And the belief in such a force was reinforced by a number of odd twists and turns in my life. For instance, I never remotely envisioned joining politics.You said you wanted to be an archeologist or journalist and now just because of the temptation of power and money You want to be a politician !!! Religion means bringing people together. Each religion claims it is a way of life.
    HinduismBy: Raj | 09-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward Hinduism is, in fact a way of life. It is not a religion that suddenly started with a person or an avatar like Ram or Krishn. It started with man. It does not classify people into believers and non-believers, which is why there is no conversion in Hinduism. Conversion is something that can happen only on a mundane level. At the religious/spiritual level, it is ridiculous. So also Hinduism does not make intellectual slaves of people by saying that "there is no logic or reason or thinking beyond the Gita or for that matter any other scripture." It just suggets certain things and tells man not to accept anything until and unless he is fully convinced. His intellect is too precious to be wasted by surrenderring to some other person, be him God himself, or his embodiment. This is why this religion is among the most flexible and tolerant religions. It appreciates men who have never visited a temple or chanted God's name or prayed, provided the man does not harm others.

    What's NewBy: Saccha Gujarati | 09-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward yes, that's the reason there are upper and lower classes in Hindu religion. a Camar tribe can never think even in his dream to marry a brahmin (except in bollywood) Anyways, every religion claims to be the best one, what's new?
    Hinduism was new,is new and will ever be newBy: romesh.sharma | 10-Jan-2009 Reply | Forward Sorry to say iI am sure you aren't either Saccha or real Gujrati.Born in Gujrat alone or in India doesn't necessarily makes one Real Gujrati or Real India.In Hinduism there is definitely Caste system which is back-bone of this religion and has deep philosophy behind which is beyond your brain capacity to understand/capture.The Class system is in every religion and is nature's wish and order.Most classes and Castes are found in Islam and Christian society is full of different classes where they won't like to sit with each other.No do every religion or philosophic system produces or favours or has tendency to form or assimilate some distinct moral types.To keep the supermevcy of these types its only Hinduism that is suggestive and doesn't force or impose upon people giving them full freedom to decide through own intelligence and initiatives.While contrary to it others like Islam force and dictate people through Fatwas and and Harams and Hallals kind of manipulations.There is no freedom and no rejoicement but bindings and resentments.Hinduism,some may call it Way of Life,which is Dharma and in foreign Language like english it may be said Religion and muslims may call it Mazhab or Deen.The most important question is what is the defination of word Religion and who defines it?Is it not only a mere person a human being?Can we take him/her as absolute perfect?Why there is so much contraversy between different systems in Islam and Christianty.How many sects and Firkas,even castes exist in Islam like Raeen,Rangarhs,Rajputs,sayyads(who claim to be Brahmins of Islam).Hindu castes are nothing but sections of the society divided to keep society clean and efficient through profession and skill.It keeps away incestous relationships which produces handicaps of all sorts and criminal/barbarians of highest order.Hinduism is much more than simply wy of life and word religion.Its endless and abslute exract of cosmos reality.It was and it is and will ever be to enlighten humanity through its deepest philosophy.Its complete and perfect while others are still on the door-steps of this Dharma and need innumerable reforms to enter the Temple of philosophic Dharma.A chamar(the name or caste doesn't exist in Hindu Dharma)but sure a shdra can marry a Brahmin girl and vice-versa but the society sees through the practical complicacies and consequences there after which they do scrutinize within their own castes too.Moreover its not only caste that matters but sub-caste as well.Hinduism is timeless and not bound to one particular indivisual,a human being.
