1/2
Hinduism is an ancient religion with no founder or known date of
origin. The term"Hinduism" simply derives from the wide variety of
religious traditions and philosophies that havedeveloped in India
over thousands of years. Hinduism is unique among the world
religions in that ithas no founder or date of origin. While most
major religions derive from new ideas taught by acharismatic
leader, Hinduism is simply the religion of the people of India,
which has graduallydeveloped over four thousand years. The origins
and authors of its sacred texts on Hinduism arelargely unknown.
Most Hindus worship one or more deities, believe in reincarnation,
value thepractice of meditation, and observe festive holidays Most
Hindus believe in praying the almighty
GOD, Every Hindu festival is based on invoking the chosen God ,
as Prayer or worshipping God isconsidered to be an integral part of
the Hindu religion. The chanting of mantras is the most popularform
of worship in Hinduism. Yoga and meditation are also considered as
a form of devotional
service towards the Lord. The Picture to the right represents
the Aum or OM sign, which is a soundof peace. The world is
advancing to modernity, we enjoy many comforts, and less we are
strugglingto achieve many things, which many times we may not need.
The advances in technology make us to
deviate from the Creator of everything in nature. The history
proves those who believe in religionand God survive better to the
challenges, calamities as many times we are left alone to our own
fate,
which reminds many of us to the prayer and believing in . One
need not to be poetic to God,
Thank God we don't have to understand prayer in ord er to pray.
Yet, there are some consistent validquestions people have
concerning prayer, but these must not hinder us from relying upon
it.The
simple way can be reading a religious book which teaches a
little moral in life, Even a casual readingof the book of moral
story s confirms how totally the disciples depended upon prayer how
theydared not make a move without committing to prayer, seeking God
for His guidance and deliverancethrough prayer. Recently I was in
my village, the poor really believe in praying from heart than
richpeople, the rich too pray, but believe in rituals than to the
innocent perceptions of the God, it meansthe poor have no
reservations to pray God. We don't pray to inform God. You can't
tell Godanything He doesn't know. So if we don't pray to impress or
inform God, why then do we pray?Prayer Binds Us to God thats why we
tell God what He already knows. He knows what we have needof before
we ask, but we're definitely, specifically, unqualifiedly told to
pray and to ask not to
impress or inform God, but to invite God, so that we might have
that fellowship with Him, so that wemight grow, and we would learn
to depend upon Him. Prayer is a means. Prayer is not an end
initself. It carries the design of God and accomplishes His
purposes. Every aspect of Hinduism teaches,
most innocent and illiterate people attained the salvation, with
blind faith in God, than byintellectual questioning presence of God
and purpose of religion. There are innumerable festivals inHinduism
every festival has some meaning to life and concern for others,
Every Hindu, Christian andMuslim festival teaches some meaning to
life and embedded with the prayer, many are deviatingfrom religion
just with little comforts, and forgetting the ultimate creator and
owner of everythingwe possess. Prayer is very important as it helps
us to gather all our energy and so helps us to fulfil
our purpose. Through prayer, we are also able to live the ideal
life. In spite of more than Billion
people in India, the society survives with religious faith of
everyone, social harmony, fulfilling theobligation to life. The
Dussehra day is celebrated to commemorate the killing of Ravana by
Lord
