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.
