The second name of Hinduism is freedom.Freedom from all sorts of concept-ism and falls imagination and freedom to choose any path to realize the inner self.

Most of Hinduism is superstition, casteism and false beliefs. The emphasis has been on sacrifices and ritualism than a spirit of inquiry. Even about inner self the H practices give little hope about understanding human soul or atman. Why do you need so much sacrifices and devotion for the enitity u call brahman. There is absolutely 0 need. Yoga is a proposal but who cares. H-ism is more or less extinct and serves as a distant connection to our ancestors. It is largely irre1evant today except selected few. If you are trying to find a deeper meaning of life search elsewhere, maybe within your own mind. Reading ancient texts are the wrong place to search for these deep questions.

What do u know about Hinduism or any other religion. Empty vessels like you make more noise.
Just like all others. Hinduism has not succeded outside India and has placed too much importance on ritualism and sacrifices. Most Indian Hs do not practise yoga instead embroil themselves in mindless supersitition and selfishness. It can be safely rejected, similar to other foo1ish practices.

It is failed because of divide and rule policy and discrimination imposed for selfishness where as Buddhisms was spread across the World which is also Originated from India.
Unfortunately, Buddhisms was destroyed in India by the same set of selfish greedy people

Nope. Religions destroy themselves. No matter what. Islams destroyed themselves. Hindus destroyed themselves. Christians destroyed themselves. Why do you need an identity more than yourselves when there is no power more than what you are? You stick on to some established identity to prove yourselves? its sick. Jus be kind. compassionate. Loving. More than enough.

U would be astonished at how popular Yoga and Vedic astrology and Vastu is abroad. Check international websites and u will understand the respect and following vedic culture has abroad.
Re: Re: Hinduism is a failed re1igion

Yoga is quite popular abroad. But probably for the right reasons. How many Indians practise yoga or meditation. I know hardly anyone - life here is more about running after money. As far as H-ism is concerned , the more rigorous ones I know are very superstitious, blindly follow race and caste. And have very little sense of human dignity. Understanding re1igion or astrology will throw very little light on the human condition of poverty and deprivation in India.

Yoga is popular among a section of westerners, true !
But so are hundreds of other practices, beliefs, concepts, etc. from foreign lands !
Read and find out how Egyptian voodoo, Chinese feng shui, acupuncture, Icelandic shamaanism, etc. are equally or more 'popular' in the west !
Riches and comfort in time bring a certain interest for the exotic. And yoga is one more in the big list of exotic things that sections of westerners follow with interest !!

He is helping Govt to instigate and flare up communical tension so that people's eye and mind get diverted and deflected from core issue of Corruption and delay the process of Janlokpal.
His life is full of luxury. Such people are having nexus with corrupt politicians and live life for money and power only. Religion has been created for the sake of benefit of some affluent class family who want to fool the nation and citizens. One who is really honest and simple ,need not to go to any place of worship. Humanity is the best religion and it is not confined in the boundaries of any particular place. Spread Humanity and Live life king size .There is no better thing than living a simple life with no big aspiration except to work for poors
Humanity means empathesing with everyone irrespecive of caste,creed, religion, sects and even treating total enviornment as a gift of almightygod and therefore not spending life in luxury and faking around about spirituality.

First amassing money and then spending a few tranche in pennies. Is it Philanthrophy OR Profligacy ie. Show business. Charity begins at home. Why can not he lead a simple life. Why so much luxury in his world. Give anyone 100 crore and then if he spends 10 crore in Charity , will he say he is good ? Don't fake yourself and stand for truth. Why does he not stand like Anna or RAMDEV to take India to the level of Superpower with no corruption.

The first question is - where does it say, being spiritual means being a pauper that has no money.
If you wish to discuss him, you must first understand what he has done by introducing yoga in its simplest form to people everywhere.
Take one look at his schedule and you will know he is driven to touch more people with yoga an sprituality. Please dont spew venom without understanding who the person is.
Re: Re: How can this fake person live such a luxury life.!!!
by Wepoorindians on Dec 24, 2011 12:33 PM
Really Yoga is when people are educated not to take MEDICINES and lead a very simple life. First comes Humanity and then anything else. He would never get exposed as he has nexus with rich community including Political bosses. Like Anna and Baba Ramdev, he will not be targetted by Political class as he is messing up with them and asking for giving account of various money being collected from common men in the name of Taxes of various hues and shades. He is fake by any standard and continue to lead a luxurious life. We common men are the biggest fools to follow him.

Who defined real yoga? You? Sadhguru has studied the yoga that is in vogue in india for 1500 years and he is distilling it.
As for your simple life nonsense, are you saying he should take a ship instead of an airplane when he has to travel to forieng countries to teach yoga - or is it in your mind that he should walk and not drive in a car or taxi.
The only thing he cares about is - how do we influence more people to get their inner self doing the right thing. Whether you have money or not, he doesnt care. That is simplicity.
Stop spewing your nonsense here and learn a bit more about the person, first.

Wepoor you are shaming indians with your lack of humility. You are personally attacking an yoga guru that you have cared to learn little about.
If you want people to listen, perhaps you should have good points. By making some silly comments, you show your ignorance. Why dont u stick to things u know about.

Arya Samaj follows no caste. And so do other organisations.
There is no caste whatsover in Vedas. But people still continue it, because of family connections,and certain traditions which they want to maintain.
Now that inter-caste marriages is in vogue, the caste system is loosening up which is a good sign.

Anyone that goes around giving caste as an excuse is not worth talking about. It is politicains that like to speak about caste and treat people as inferior. They care more about your vote than your welfare.
