>What is Hinduism?
Hinduism is the oldest organized religion in the world. It is the Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Law. It has no known origin and no founders - it is a synthesis of various Indian cultures and practices from as early as 4000 BCE.
Hinduism differs from Christianity and other Abrahamic religions in that it does not have:
>A single founder,
>A specific theological system,
>A single concept of deity,
>A single holy text,
>A single system of morality,
>A central religious authority,
>The concept of a prophet.
Hinduism is neither polytheistic, monotheistic, trinitarian or henotheistic, yet it is all at the same time.
The development of Hinduism was influenced by many invasions over thousands of years. The major influences occurred when nomadic "Aryan" Indo-European tribes invaded Northern India from the steppes of Russia and Central Asia. They brought with them their religion of Vedism. These beliefs mingled with the more advanced, indigenous Indian native beliefs, often called the "Indus valley culture."

>Political Significance of Hinduism in this Age
All the decadence of the world today has been predicted by Hinduism.

Prophesied events during a Kali Yuga
>Rulers will become unreasonable: they will levy taxes unfairly.
>Rulers will no longer see it as their duty to promote spirituality, or to protect their subjects: they will become a danger to the world.
>People will start migrating, seeking countries where wheat and barley form the staple food source.
>At the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen of the three higher varnas [temperament] and when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser.
Kali Yuga with regard to human relationships
>Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other. Ignorance of dharma will occur.
>People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that.
>Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life.
>Sin will increase exponentially, while virtue will fade and cease to flourish.
>People will take vows and break them soon after.
>People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks and drugs.
>Teachers will no longer be respected and their students will attempt to injure them. Their teachings will be insulted, and followers of Kama(lust) will wrest control of the mind from all human beings.

Reminder that if you don't chant Gayatri Mantra at least 108 times daily you're not a real Aryan.

My only gripe with hinduism is that I don't speak the language. There is all this chanting and whatnot and I would have no idea wtf I'm actually saying. Even when reading about it, it quickly becomes tangled in words I do not know.

Neither do most Indians speak sanskrit, whats your point
>>135910832
Hinduism is an interesting religion, I respect it for its complicated theology and long ass history.
I agree that the Kali Yuga is a good way of conceptualizing our current epoch.
I don't think I could convert unless I actually lived in India and was surrounded by culture inspired by Hinduism but it's pretty cool.
Thoughts on Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism?

Abrahamic religions are all trash and are Jewish subversion at best, Buddhism is Hinduism for Plebs
