Hello, I'm young and stupid, and interested in spirituality.

OP here again. Spiritual person is meditating and is in God's world. Isn't that just like tripping on mushrooms?...

From your tone I can tell you are 16 or younger.

Instead of trying to become a Buddhist larper, have you considered going to your local monastery?

>>8473367
sadly older, it's just I'm not good at English.

I was thinking about it, but ehh, places faces...

Hinduism is fantastic to read about; but it's so multifarious that you have to go into the teachings of particular sects to glean any actual useful information regarding the beliefs of a particular Hindu individual.

It;s really more like a large extended family of interconnected faiths; by lineage adoption and intermarriage, which has all coalesced into a sort of religious sphere of it's own.

Talking about the generalities of Hindus is like talking about the generalities of Abrahamics as a whole.

The categories are too broad to be useful.

Hinduism is a pluralist mess. Its not like your typical Judeo-Christian fare where its one book mostly and you get the meat of your knowledge from that.

Some hot Hindu recs:
Vedas
Upanishads
Bhagavad Gita
Mahabharata (the exposition surrounding the Gita)
Ramayana

Recommended reading order:
Bhagavad Gita: Its a short and simple read

Now
Do you want stories? Like mystical fantasy style stuff?

Read the Ramayana and the Mahabharata

Do you want hands-off immaterial ascetic stuff? Read the Upanishads

Do you want ye olde pagan ritual gods? Read the Vedas

No. That's what temple service is for.

Fair do, being some numpty's personal internet guru isn't something I'd volunteer for either.

The sorcerer's apprentice

seems pretty interesting, but I don't really buy that many books, mostly read from libraries. (and I doubt there will be this particular book over there)
