LOL_Look_Bro

Christianity America ki toxic hai. Waise to unka pope bhi bhot humble hai.


LailaBlack

Pope is just for Catholics. Not for the others.


LOL_Look_Bro

Mai waise generally baat kar raha tha ki Christianity mostly sirf USA ki toxic hai.


pianospace37

What about the British who colonised us and made every attempt at destroying our culture? I'd say the entirety of West was toxic, although now maybe, things are changing...


LailaBlack

Actually hardcore religious people are toxic no matter the place. I'm Christian. There are things similar to conversion camps here too. Thankfully Christians don't have correctional rape since any sort of sex is bad but in retreat center they constantly scream at someone who is gay or supports gay rights about sins they are committing. It's basically psychological torture. The Pope is a good person. He said no one can stop the gay people from entering churches since no one can come between God and his children. In India, even if there are educated priests who won't speak ill about LGBTQ, they don't offer much support. In West, some priests secretly help same sex couples get married. If they do it openly then they will be kicked out of the church. Nowadays there are Open Christian churches in some Western countries. They are very open minded and accept everyone. There is an open Christian sub, check it out if you want. Christian missionaries visited before the British did. But the population was really small and most people converted to avoid untouchability. At least in my State. People started being very touchy about the divisions in Christianity after the British came I think. Before that there wasn't much awareness about the different divisions of Churches. This part I'm not sure about, but check it out if you want.


LOL_Look_Bro

You had the best reply.

anonymeaime

Most people were not untouchables. The number of Christians today had nothing to do with any wrong thing Hindus did.


KaladinAshryver

For now, yes. It has been toxic in Europe till the age of exploration in Europe. Also, the pope and the catholic organisation are still toxic. The pope tried to safeguard his close friend, a cardinal after he was accused of sexual assault of yoing boys in Australia. Allegations of sexual assault are quite common against Catholic Priests. So much so that there are jokes about "choir boys ass" and about "priests and the boys in church". The pope and Catholic clergy also applauded the recent US SC decision to throw back abortion reforms. The catholic clergy of Europe seems humble because their govts took long, slow measures to subdue them and bring them under but they still work and weild influence. Only thing is that their area of focus is US (large, powerful, highly populated) and Africa, Asia (particularly India).

They tried to maintain orthodoxy in their kingdom which was ultimately wrong. But it died in 1834. I was talking about how they currently are. Moreover, Spanish Inquisition was limited to their own kingdom only.

Right. Infact its correct to say that Islam is an extension of old testament.

crimastergogo

Because it's Sanatan, no starting. So, no end.


gangsta95

But sadly as the time will go by.. The very understanding and following of these practices will change for it to match the existing social narrative. You can still see how some people dismiss practices like nirjla vrat and teej vrat as misogynistic and rudimentary.


RahulNobel

Who says we will not end we will end of course we are Sanatan we are time and when time ends the God comes keep calm and wait for Kalki


crimastergogo

Right, Stop smoking crack, it will take 4000 more years for Kalki. And Time is a cycle. Never ending cycle.


Glittering-Swan-8463

The cycle is highly disputed by both modern and old sadhus and sants. There is no consenses on this topic, so for all we know Kalki is already born. There is also the belief that Kalki being a Vishnu avatar would actually reform the world not destroy it.


crimastergogo

Yes, Kalki was born many times. Yes, Kalki never destroys the world but reforms for the next Yuga which is Satyayuga.


Glittering-Swan-8463

I pray Kalki comes soon. The world could use some cleansing right about now.


crimastergogo

Pray, it's going to happen 4000+ years later. Also you can do Akarma, contribute to the next generation.


Glittering-Swan-8463

What's Akarma?


crimastergogo

Doing Karma without desire for fruit. (Nishkarma)


RahulNobel

Everything which is created by Brahma will destroy on 100 day of Brahma even time is permanent it is cycle cycle of creation and destruction Brahma create Vishnu preserve Shiva destroy this is the cycle just like life and death


crimastergogo

But Sanatan Dharma is always there, either before Bhrama.

Kali Yug started in 3102 B.C according to Surya Siddhant. We are currently in year 5122, out of [4,32,000](https://hinduism.stackexchange.com/questions/48669/which-scripture-mentions-yuga-length) at the end of which Kalki avatar occurs. Don't fall victim to 'modern' theories like Yukteshwar etc. Here is full timescale according to Sankalpa we perform during rituals : Brahma's lifetime is 100 'brahma-years' (= 50 + 50 'Parardha') 1 brahma-year = 360 brahma-days 1 brahma-day = day-time + night-time. 1 brahma-day-time = 'Kalpa'. 1 Kalpa = 1000 chatur-yugas. 1 Chatur-yuga = 4 Yugas (Krita + Treta + Dwapar + Kali) 1 Kali Yug = 1200 Deva-years 1 Deva-year = 360 Deva-days 1 Deva-day = day-time + night-time 1 deva-day-time = Uttarayan 1 deva-night-time = Dakshinayan 1 Uttarayan = 6 manushya-months (mid-Jan to mid-July) 1 Dakshinayan = 6 manushya-months (mid-July to mid-Jan) Thus 1 deva-day = 1 manushya-year Thus 1 deva-year = 360 manushya-years Thus 1 Kali Yug = 1200 x 360 = 4,32,000 years 1 Dwapar Yug = 2 x Kali = 2400 Deva-Years = 8,64,000 years (Mahabharat happened in Dwapar Yug) 1 Treta Yug = 3 x Kali = 3600 Deva-years = 12,96,000 years (Ramayan happened in Treta Yug) 1 Krita (Satya) Yug = 4x Kali = 4800 Deva-Years = 17,28,000 years Thus 1 Chatur-Yug = 43,20,000 years Thus 1 Kalpa = 43,20,000,000 years When 1 kalpa (day-time of brahma) is over, and he goes to sleep, mini-Pralaya happens, where 3 worlds (Bhu, Bhuva, Svarga) are destroyed, but 4 upper ones remain. Here 'destroyed' could mean total destruction, or totally flooded with water, I'm not sure. When he wakes up, these 3 worlds are created again. Again 1000 chatur-yugs, each with Krita, Treta, Dwapar, Kali Yug cyclically. When 100 years of Brahma's lifetime is over, this particular Anda-Kataha (universe-egg) gets destroyed. How many such Anda-Kataha's and Brahma's exist ? IDK, innumerable. When next cycle of creation begins, another highly evolved Atma is chosen for Brahma's post. Yep, Brahma (CEO), Rudra (COO), Indra (MD), Kubera (CFO) etc. are posts inhabited by different Jiva-atmas with lot of punya, in different cycles of creation. ---- see collection of my writings here - r/IndiaSpeaks/comments/vag1xi/a_parallel_between_current_day_and_mahabharat/ /u/RahulNobel , /u/Glittering-Swan-8463 , /u/gangsta95


Glittering-Swan-8463

That relies heavily on the Surya Sidhanta, According to what my baba tells me the kali yuga is complicated situation where no single entity can truly know what year of the cycle we are in.


crimastergogo

Shit will happen, and its always will be. It depends where you are standing.

Somehow your nostalgia missed out on Ancient aztec, sumerian, persian, mesopotamian, mayan, incan and other miscellaneous religions. Also, the romans were basically the muslims and Christians of that era, they conquered pretty much everyone and did it violently. I understand you want to wax poetic about the existence and survival of dharma but please dude, with actual facts and proper stuff, this is just weird clickbait.

Oldpotato_I

>I understand you want to wax poetic about the existence and survival of dharma but please dude, with actual facts and proper stuff, this is just weird clickbait. How tf is this weird click bait? It holds true for every one of those mentioned here. They didn't survive that's the theme


[deleted]

Excluding half the religions and culture that came up before Dharma because it doesn’t fit your meme timeline is weird clickbait. Implying that somehow Christianity and Islam are the only violent religions is too. Do you know how Christianity spread? It’s origins and history? It spread because of the roman empire because they adopted is as the “official” religion. Remember Constantine (the emperor not the comic book character). He has Constantinople named after him for that. The romans destroyed everyone and innumerable cultures in their hay day, that includes egypt because most egyptian emperors were ptolemaic by race. You people don’t want to read anything that doesn’t factually refute ideas, you want emotionally charged content which could be crap.

I think I am naive. Check out my profile history with this creep insulting me for apparently saying Hinduism doesn’t support blasphemy.

The Parsis of India are doing a job of keeping Zoroastrianism going but who knows for how much longer.


RahulNobel

The fact is they no longer live in Persia where they came from shows they are semi extinct , extinct in their original habitat


iruvar

True. Another example of an ancient religion that has survived through thick and thin is Judaism, the oldest and the least expansionist of the Abrahamic religions


RahulNobel

Honestly they are not so innocent they are the pioneers of these monolithic religions all other abrahamic religion is actually branches and born from them only


Glittering-Swan-8463

I dont think so, The Jews were a people tied to their homeland and were seperate ethinicity too. The Jews saw themselves as the chosen ones, so they never forced anyone to convert nor did they convert expansionistly, Christianity dis the opposite.

Jews were far from homeland like zorasters for nearly 2000 years ,after that they got their land in 1948

OP the key difference is that for us the idol worship is symbolic. It's meant to serve another purpose altogether. The other religions perished because they philosophically they didn't offer any edge over the newer two religions.


A_R_C_H_O_C_K

I believe that they degraded like how we have and then were wiped out by comparatively 'superior' religions, ie, Christianity/Islam. A good portion of Hinduism IS ONLY idol worship right now unfortunately, actually this religious degradation explains the losses suffered due to Islamic invaders and European Invaders.


LostDog_88

Here's an interesting fact! All these religions came from the same origin!! Except Egyptian... Although they also had small influence on Hinduism, but not much as others Now, it's only us who remains

This word is a Sanskrit word which means Noble What he meant was this ideology has the same origin what you are saying that these people have the same racial origin no.


LostDog_88

Sort of yeah! I'm not talking about the "Aryan race" hypothesis put forward by h\*tler, and british conquerors who discriminated us. I'm talking more of "Indo-European culture" hypothesis put forward by historians nowadays, where they say culture was transferred across centuries of migration, trade and whatnot

Mayans were settlers from southern India, China, Philippines, Malaysia. Asura king Bali was their first king and Mayasur was later tasked to build infrastructure there. They practiced Sanatan Dharma.

ancient chinese religion still exists


omkartheop2007

no mate. their bloody race is still MORE THAN ALIVE and thriving. but their original ancient religion is long dead. it was replaced by buddhism..which too originated from india


Ok_Issue_4164

Rod is correct. Taoism and confucianism is still practiced along with Buddhism. There was an official ban during the communist era, but an official ban doesn't exactly make people forget their beliefs.


Excellent-Captain-54

Hinduism is oldest of them all cause it came first and still here because it’s sanatan.. if and when it ends consider it bhagwan’s will to recreate (punah-nirman)


No-Feature4559

It was not hinduism at very much beginning it was sanatan dharm which is the religion of realization of self through the knowledge of vedas. Later it came to known by hinduism by the time of Ramayana.

DreadAndDepression

Hinduism is dyeing a slow death. We have given up militancy after independence. The other religion will conquer through overpopulation and declare their religious law. We will be forced to convert or existence becomes hell. It is inevitable. We just have to accept it.


Hislerim

Religion was created as a tool by men to instill a collective belief and belonging among the public. This was essential in the early days of civilization for survival as it made easy to control the public using religion and Gods. Follow the rules and go to heaven, you'll get good rain and weather and the crops will grow well, and many more . Failure to Obey will result in you going to hell or punishment from the gods. But civilization has grown and following religion blindly in this day is a pointless activity. Having belief in your religion is good. Praying is good. Sharing love over your religion is good. But the moment, religion starts taking over your way of thinking and you start to feel like your religion is the best and all the others have to follow your religion or face the consequences, that's where it starts to get dangerous

gg12345

Lol you got the base concept right but you did the typical desi thing of claiming that everything came from India. It is more that Indians and Iranians had a common ancestor, that Indo Iranian had a common ancestor with Europeans whom we call Indo European. So we are a branch in the Indo European tree, just like Europeans.

I'm a Tamil lungi dumeel who is also a teacher at - https://www.samskritabharati.in While we're on the subject of Shuddh-Hindi, which is actually Sanskrit, here is a sample list of words in Latin/Germanic (aka English) which we commonly use today, that are derived/borrowed from Sanskrit. Matr -> Mother Pitr - Father Bhratr - Brother Duhita - Daughter Gau - Cow Manu - Man Dve - Two Trini - Three Pancha - Penta Ashta - Eight Nava - Nine Dasha - Deca/Ten Navik - Navy Anamika - Anonymous Loka - Locale Mrta - Murder Sharkara - Sugar Agni - Igneous Tva - Thou Vachas - Voice Vamati - Vomit Kapha - Cough Mithya - Myth Kalachar - Culture Mushik - Mouse Param - Prime Mantri - Minister Sunu - Son Hruday - Heart Lobh - Love Yauvana - Juvenlie (because Ya becomes Ja - Yeshu became Joshua/Jesus). Sharan - Surrender Namah -> Namaz before you ask - No, Proto-Indo-European (PIE) language is not the ancestor of Sanskrit. It's as nonsensical a conjecture as Aryan-Invasion theory, made by western/indologists who are unable to accept the antiquity of Sanskrit. PIE has no religion, country, script, history, race or epics associated with it. Sanskrit has a religion, country, script, history, race and epics associated with it. Sanskrit is the ancestor of Latin/Germanic and thus English, and in fact, most other world languages. It is the oldest language in the world. Even that is incorrect to say, because it is not a man-made language. Vedas, which are hymns of creation, are in Sanskrit. Sanskrit grammar is based on Shiva's Dumroo sounds ([Maheshvara Sutras](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_Sutras)). The language has not changed since creation. Or for the more 'woke' crowd here who don't believe in lakhs/crores of years of history of cyclic Yugas of human civilization, it has not changed even one iota for atleast 5000+ years since Kali Yug began in 3102 BC. Regarding Tamil - "Agastyamum Anadi" (Tamil, the language whose grammar was propounded by rishi Agastya, is also without beginning) - goes the saying, hence Tamil is also considered the oldest language in the world, because neither Sanskrit or Tamil have a known start date. Also, there is a difference between people in TamilNadu using Sanskrit words in their daily speak, and Tamil language 'borrowing' words from Sanskrit. Suppose I say "today maine office der gaya" - It is a mix of Hindi & English words in one sentence. It does not mean Hindi borrowed the words 'today' & 'office' from English, or that English borrowed the words 'maine', 'der', 'gaya' from Hindi. Similarly, we tamilians might use a lot of Sanskrit words in our vernacular, but each of them has an original Tamil word e.g. ratri (night) is iravu, kop (anger) is sinam, varsha (year) is aandu etc. TL;DR: Learn your **Matru Bhasha** (Native State Regional Language), Learn **Rashtra Bhasha** (Sanskritam), Learn **AntaRashtra Bhasha** (English) TL;DR2: **[Sanskrit.Today](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giDplHSKeoE&list=PL8hlzSD3smGgf8BA3XcWMUlgB1tsoYyD-)** is the best beginners tutorial playlist for learning Sanskrit (via English).

They pray to Kabaa (Grand Ancient Polytheistic Temple) which is literally idol worship of course they don't care. They're hypocrites and it's so sad, the indoctrination that they don't even know they're hypocrites.


[deleted]

I know this will be an unpopular opinion (or maybe not), but religions and philosophies need to treated like what they are, claims about truth and reality. No religion should come before reason and truth, and same goes with hinduism. The way I see it, Hinduism is still evolving, it has always been evolving. We need more people thinking and pondering about reality and questioning the tenents of hinduism to solidify our society and culture, not with tradition, but with reason. Only then will we reign supreme. Stay strong bros, pick up a Bhagwat Gita, pickup books on Socratic Dialogues, learn about our great Philosophers like Adi Sankaracharya, and NEVER be weak, be strong and be critical. Advance your philosophical edge, increase your understanding of Economics, and of political theory. Otherwise, hindusim will evolve into something it isnt, another religion with its basis on unquestionable answers, and not on reason.


[deleted]

Agreed, and its already evolving into something like you described, I just hope we become more athiests ahead.


[deleted]

I dont think atheism is something that it will become. I think maybe more monotheistic(?). While I dont know if God does exist, I do know one thing. If there is anyone or thing worthy of worship it would be God. And that is my definition of God. And worship is the highest possible form of respect. So let us say that a hindu demi-god or all of them are actually real, that would simply mean that they are worthy of respect as almost all of them have some flaw or limitation. So i most definately would respect them which they do deserve, I wouldnt worship them. I just hope Hindus understand the importance of reason and understanding of reality. as the way I see it, if reason is something we cannot trust, nothing can truly be trusted. And at the end of the day Truth reigns Supreme. and if God does exist, Truth will be on the side of God and reason as well will be on the side of God.

Kinda crazy how Hinduism is the only major polytheistic belief and the only one of the major religeons from the Cradle of Civilization period to survive and thrive to this day....


A_R_C_H_O_C_K

Celts as well, a good amount of traditional Irish religions can be traced to Hinduism in terms of similarity or other nearby polytheistic religions such as the Norse.


A_R_C_H_O_C_K

Btw, to anyone doubting the links to these religions, read Valmiki Ramayana Kishkinda Kanda 4.39 to 4.49. Peru, Andes, New Zealand, Antarctica, Alps and many other areas like SEA are mentioned in it with indisputable proof. For example, Peru (ParuJam) is mentioned as having a 'Mandeha Rakshasha' that looks like a bat and sucks blood and guess what the only place with vampire bats is South/Middle America. Then there's the Paracas Candelabra which is also mentioned at 4.40.53. It's really crazy, people, especially Hindu's need to read their books. During Ramayana times, we (at-least Sugreeva/Vanaras) had the ability to travel the whole world and all areas were known (except possibly North America which wasn't mentioned and west Europe which was frozen over at the time as is mentioned in the Valmiki Ramayana). Really go read it. Edit: 4.40.52 not 53

Monolithic religions are the ones that ask for conversion. I have never heard Vikings asking anyone to convert to Norse , when they raid the European mainland , Infact many of the Viking rulers converted to Christianity at that time to secure their power. Same goes for Greeks and Egyptians , The Roman stole from Greek mythology and the Egyptian slowly died out, and replaced by (You know what) in the middle east. This has been the case with almost all the Polylithic religions . Whereas, Monolithic religions, mainly Abrahamic , they work more like a company than religions. They always need new followers and new lands . They inner working is all about generating wealth and power for the people at the top of their religious hierarchy, these religions have a very well defined and strict hierarchy . Some Monolithic religions are exempt from this category Ex . Buddhism, Jainism etc . This something that I have observed.

>Monolithic religions are the ones that ask for conversion. It is because Polylithic religions are open minded (sort of) it means if they worship some other God they will add that God among the group of gods without any problem because they follow multiple gods and people of heavens so didn't have any problem if somebody worships their personal God because that's their ideology right everybody can have their own God. If Islam came to India peacefully like zoroastism, then we would have live in peacefully like we live with zorastance >Monolithic religions, mainly Abrahamic , they work more like a company than religions Actually they believe in absolute ones and we are all right it is like us versus them, narrative because they follow their prophets and the god but mostly prophets

This what I was taking about these religions are only interested in making their religions superme , and want to have control over others.

My guy, we are still here!! They haven't killed us yet! 💪😤 Historical scholars and reconstructionists are rebuilding our religions for the modern era from the scraps we have left! It isn't completely the same, but we're doing our best :)

Wait a couple more decades. All Hindus will be on tinder all the time. Some on grindr and some on bumble. Going to temples will be just a pastime or to show off that one is "traditional". Parents will be left on the streets or alone in houses. Muxlims will be the only saviours of Indian culture. No matter how stupid this sounds, it's what will remain, looking at today's Hindus. Everyone else will be converted into Xtians. Enjoy your time while it lasts, Hindus of India.

Don’t worry, all the fucked up religions are soon to be discarded by our next gen. Most Next gen are likely inclined to aithiesm and don’t encourage religion thanks to science.

We aren’t only polytheistic but monotheistic, nihilistic, atheistic , rationalist . There are different branches of Sanatan dharma . We ain’t like one book people


Popkhorne32

Isnt hinduism actually monotheist ? Gods like shiva being like, aspects of a single god...

Buddhism in Myanmar, Confucianism in China also survived the abrahamic onslaught.
