You will find here a very comprehensive treatment
of Hinduism and the Hindu way of life. We have tried to cover as
many Social, Religious and Secular aspects of Hinduism and Hindu
society in this section as possible such as: the meaning and definition
of Hinduism, the antiquity of Hinduism, the future of Hinduism,
the sects of Hinduism, treatment of women, the place of marriage
in Hinduism, the status and role of children and the ashrama dharmas
and the purusharthas (aims) of human life. After going through
this section you will know how Hinduism deals with such sensitive
subjects as adultery, prostitution, suicide, premarital relationships
and divorce. Also included are topics explaining the contemporary
and traditional views of Hinduism on caste system, education, polytheism,
death, the concepts of yoga, maya, celibacy, soul, salvation
and God. You will also find essays on fatalism, socialism, enlightenment,
methods of worship, food restrictions, war and violence, tolerance
towards and comparison with other religions such as Buddhism, Jainism,
Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Islam. If you feel we have missed
an important topic on Hinduism and want us to cover it here, please
let us know.
