1HINDU CULTURE
Description
Culture and religion have a symbiotic relationship with each other and each of the
institutions tend to influence each other. Culture gets influenced by religious faith as religious
customs are an integral part of cultural which is essentially composed of practices or customs
and beliefs which have their basis in religion. On the other hand culture has been provided an
institutional set up by religion as religion has provided a codified appropriated form of the
cultural practices (Ganeri, 2017).
In this particular piece of reflective writing I shall be providing an account of Hindu
culture, the religious and culture background to which I belong to. Like all cultures, Hindu
culture is also a compendium of several cultural values, and the central value of Hindu Culture,
‘live and let live’ describes it the best. Hinduism is actually not a religion, but a way of life
which is reflective of the fluidity, the liberal and tolerant nature that Hinduism embodies (Ganeri,
2017).
Feelings
I come from a family wherein the members are vegetarian and I feel that has been
influenced by the Hindu culture, especially the ‘live and let live’ philosophy. We believe that
animals too are made up of flesh and blood like us humans and they feel the same as we humans
do and plant life bear the fruit for us humans to cherish the gifts of God. This means that one
must live up to the ‘live and let live’ philosophy in all aspects of life (Krishnaveni, Kehoe &
Kumaran, 2017).
