[QUOTE="Vasu, post: 46887, member: 3616"] I agree the overall principle that hinduism is a collection of multitude of faiths defined by geography rathar than just one philosophy, or morality or value system as understood by many. However geography alone isnt a rule. Hinduism is also defined by traditions, belief in gods, belief in rituals and some just belief. It just happened that a few linear thinking people (contrary to lateral thinkers) like MaxMuller chose to use geography as a way to define who a hindu is. Hence to confine hinduism to just India is incorrect. There are hindus in bali, srilanka, fiji, west indies, africa and now in the new world. I think becoming a hindu is plainly identifying yourself with the way of life. without meaning to usurp the identity of sikhs, I find that sikh philosophy in some of its aspects closer to some of the hindu philosophies than those within the hindu philosophy. Let me explain. There is a atheist sect within hinduism following sage nihili.. These sects dont believe in existence of god or one super power which guides the life of all things living. They call themselves hindu. Contrarily, within hindus there are sects in bengalis who dont believe in vedas or dont recogonise their primacy. They follow the teaching of upanishads. They also eat beef traditionally and not because of muslim influence or western colonial influence. The kali and agora tradition (closer to my belief believes in tantric rituals towards spirituality). They are also hindu in nature. Unfortunately, brahminic domination of philiosophical space is so overwhelming, many hindu traditions within have become almost extinct. Shankara's Adwaitha spelt the death knell to tantra. I think the cultural aspect thats common between all eastern relegions can not be denied esp when regards to cyclics like rebirth, karma, dharma, maya, rna. Be it budhism, hinduism, jain, sikhism. Its different from the linear concepts of sin, confession, judgement day, god. Hust historically speaking even islam has transformed and absorbed many of the asian values. Thats why you see many islamic sects like shias, sunnis, ahmedias, bhoras all reinterpretting islam in different cultural settings relevant to the region. christianity is however not interpretted in a local cultural setting. Christianity revolves around the western view of the world. Even the early asian christian orders like the syrrian christians have been severely overrun, their culture lost and their view of the christ's teaching totally erased. Its the greek, latin, european and now the American view of christianity thats propogated. Philosophically, the teachings of the sikh guru are more acceptable and maybe more relevant to most Indians. Maybe more of us follow his teachings along with the idol worship, fire rituals and other ritualistic traditions we are used to. Maybe some of us are not ordained sikhs as per the khalsa tradition. Therefore the fear that Sikhism would become extinct is unfounded. Budhist teachings dint become extinct even though budhism as an identity floundered. If a Sikh celebrates janmaashtami and if a punjabhi hindu makes his first son as a sikh there is no really a dilution of relegious fervor. In fact, I wouldnt think a hindu converting to a sikh as a erosion on hinduism. Its just a positive transformation. I wouldnt say the same for christianity. Its nearly impossible to live as an equal within the church when all the time you see god portrayed as a blonde hair, blue eyed, male. ofcourse.. I am the culprit who digressed... but somehow I felt inspired. I may be a tamil brahmin, but I really like sikh teachings. vasu.. [/QUOTE]
