There is so much misinformation that people will not believe the correct information unless God himself says! If you tell them the right thing, they will try to argue quoting some wrong information that they have lived with for years! 

 

Why should people accept "correct" and "right" information coming from some nobody know-it-all? It is fair to make opinions in devotion/religious matters.

All the talk of religious kathavach however mundane it looks, it is good for congregate. Indian Intellectuals think Hinduism has no congregation concept while it was prevalent earlier in kirtan/bhajan/kathavachan/poojapath etc and it shows the strength on the street. Hindus are losing the community feeling that the temples would promote.

When the truth is told, people who are supposed (or destined) to learn the truth (they would have an open mind too), sooner or later will accept the truth. 

 

If we are not supposed to know the truth. We will accept the convenient misinformation, finding reasons to oppose.  

 

If we have studied this misinformation, it also means accepting that we have been wrong.

In my area, there are no issues. There is a temple at almost every corner. 

 

Even dogs in my area appear religious!

In BD the HIndus suffered but these religious gurus did almost nothing. They are more interested in eating sweets made of pure ghee and be driven around in luxurious vehicles :hitler:

 

At one temple, I asked them to make provisions for garbage bins. 

 

At one temple, I had to tell the management to do an urgent mosquito treatment. By the time, I folded my hands, a swarm attacked me. 

 

I may have contacted mild Dengue as I have itchy rashes on my hands now. 

 


God helps those who help themselves, these gurus are good for nothing and have no business except garnering the subscribers on social media.
The real gurus, they are far away from this tamasha, and are silently working for the common people in a small city or a village which you or me might not even know off.
Those silent gurus were the ones who played a crucial role in ensuring that despite under thousands of years of hostile environment, a good portion of us were able to safeguard our cultural and religious roots, instead of other kingdoms like Persian Empire, which succumb within 20 years.

This thread is a reminder why Hindus struggle narratively, every lallu-panju easily gets their say about Hinduism, so we are constantly in defensive mode and that too for centuries. That never happens with other religion. 

 

The onus is on us to centralize and take ownership of our strengths, and ultimately build/establish our vedic viewpoint of us, and the world including other religions ,  cultures.


On topic, the immediate danger still is internal, for example,  Swaminarayan, will reach a critical mass, and will soon demand their own religion and identity. There are many such groups out there

Which Swaminarayan sect? There are two and followers of one (BAPS) sect rarely go to temples of the other sect(Vadtal gadi)

 

Veerashaivas don’t believe in Vedas and renounced it. Same happened to Buddhists and Jains , but were considered Hindu sects just like Seaminarayan/Lingayats until Brits made them a new religion. Now Lingayats are also demanding to be separate from Hinduism mainly politically for reservations. Fault lines are always exploited by others. Even some of us think my interpretation of Hinduism is superior to yours and are so close-minded.

Bursting fire crackers is unrelated to Hinduism (in the ancient times, it may have helped with driving the bugs away). 
 

If people get involved with fire crackers, it should be done with responsibility, ideally in an area where the community could assemble and during certain hours, while adhering to safety protocols esp. for children. 
 

Every second or so, there is a fire cracker going on somewhere creating noise pollution (which has begun to give me a mild headache now). Many times, people even explode crackers after midnight. Obviously, there is no concern of others’ safety esp. traffic.
 

If people want to explode fire crackers, they should do it responsibly, at certain places, during specific hours, and by observing safety protocols. 

 

I just heard of a child getting hurt because a glass bottle with a fire cracker in it exploded!

Talking about children’s safety, it also makes me sad to see children standing in a car looking out from the moon/sun roof, while the dad is driving with a smile on!
