Guest guest Posted July 29, 1999 Report Share Posted July 29, 1999 Following recd from Sukhbeer who is doing an exhibition on World religions in Birmingham England. Can the list help? What are the main commandments of Hinduism? Sukhbeer Bhopal <Sukh 27 July 1999 23:33 Thankyou for your offer of help. What we need is a summary of the main commandments or rules of Hinduism. This will part of an exhibition which would have the commandments of the Worlds great religions presented together. I was not able to do this myself....... Sukhbeer Bhopal <Sukh You may reply directly or via the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 1999 Report Share Posted July 30, 1999 Dear friends, " Rules of Hinduism " There are no led down rules; but the following should be led down! 1) Matrudevobhava : Consider your mother as God 2) Pitrudevobhava : Consider your father as God 3) Acharyadevobhava : Consider your teacher as God 4) Atithidevobhava : Consider your guest as God * 5) God is both immanent as well as transcendental. * 6) Therefore the Image Worship; it is not the image that is worshiped, but God present therein. It is like " by seeing photo of one's mother one remembers her, similarly by seeing the photo-frame, clay or metal idol, or picture, etc. of God we remember His presence " . * 7) Emphasis is not to possess more, but " On how minimum one is able to survive to carry out his/her sadhana - spiritual practices " ! This is not miserliness, but to achieve desirelessness as has been advocated in various scriptures, for example: Verse 67 : Ch. 18, Astavakra Glorious is he who is free from all desires, who is the perfect embodiment of bliss which is his own nature, and who is spontaneously absorbed in the unconditioned Self. * Many more commonly accepted principles can be cited to create a " MINIMUM ACCEPTABLE PROGRAMME " amongst various sects. BUT this has never happened, is not seen today, and will never happen in India and Hinduism!!! And this is no meanness; it is the greatness of Hinduism that it creates conditions and offers Religion to EVERYONE: " TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABILITY, TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NEED!
