How To Become A Hindu: Discover The Fundamentals And Concepts Of Hinduism: Fundamentals Of Hinduism (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798529316115)

Hinduism is one of a few ancient religions to survive into modern times. The collection of traditions that compose modern-day Hinduism have developed over at least the past 5000 years. If you are interested in Hinduism, then this book is for you. Even though the Hindu religion is the oldest in the world, there are many misconceptions that laypeople have about it. Some people don't understand the mystical chants and mantra traditions where they keep repeating "Aum" over and over again. But you have to understand the religion to truly appreciate where these acts and traditions come from. There is a 4000-year history of Hinduism that many people outside of India don't even know about. On top of that, Hinduism has evolved a lot over the years with both oral and ancient stories involving the laws of Hinduism. These stories were often told by sages who passed down their knowledge of the religion to their disciples. Eventually, there was a compilation of ancient Sanskrit texts where Hindus could study the ethical and moral code that they needed to live by. However, Hindus for thousands of years have been changing traditions and teaching new philosophies about the religion that help motivate modern-day people to want to become followers. Furthermore, they encourage them to take up Hindu-derived practices, like yoga and meditation, to help them feel better in their lives.
