Hinduism
Hinduism is known as one of the oldest religions. Roots and customs of this religion are 4000
years old. Hinduism is also known as the third largest religion in the world. People who are
followers of Hinduism mostly live in India. Hinduism is considering being a unique religion
because it comprises many different cultures, traditions, and philosophies. Different followers
have different beliefs regarding this religion. Followers of this religion believe in samsara
(the continuous life cycle that includes deaths and rebirth) and karma (the universal law of
cause and effect). There is also one fundamental principle of this religion that suggests that
the actions and thoughts of people directly determine their current and future lives. There are
some holy books of this religion such as The Ramayana, Mahabharata, The Bhagavad Gita,
the Upanishads and 18 Puranas (History).
Benefits
There are many benefits of Hinduism that I have been practicing and following daily. Some
beliefs of this religion are so practical that it helps me in solving my daily problems. Since I
am following this religion I believe in Karma. “Reap only what you Sow” this belief has
stopped me from involving in many unethical practices. It also helps in motivating ding good
for society. This religion also suggests people respect people and other religions that exist.
Since there are many different belief and customs in these religion followers of this religion
can easily adapt changes. Hinduism also follows Yoga and because of that, I can also remain
healthy and fit. Yoga is now practiced in almost every country. Meditation is also considered
to be part of this religion as it helps in relieving stress (Philosophy of Religion).
Followers of Hinduism are also vegetarian and because of that, there are fewer chances for
them to get infected from the disease. Because we can see many viruses are caused because
of the consumption of Non- Vegetarian food such as Swine Flu, Corona and many more.
