I am a Hindu

COMMON QUESTION: 

''I am a Hindu but my life isn't changing for the better. I want to convert into another religion. Why should i reconsider ???'' 

''We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in the future can be produced by our present actions; so we know how to act''- Swami Vivekananda. 

Hinduism is the oldest belief of God and mother of all religions and yet it had never claimed to ''SAVE THE WORLD'' or state ''FOLLOW RAM & ONLY HE WILL SAVE YOU''. Yes, God has the power to help everyone and God exist in every religion but God helps those who helps themselves. -It is this ''Truth that will set you free''. !!!

No religion can promise you a problem free life. There are plenty Christians who are living with diseases, plenty Muslims living in poverty, hence if a particular religion wants to rule the world, then its due to their EGO and PRIDE!!! 

If a person changes his cloths without having a bath, then he won't be clean! Similarly, you can change religion freely with no one stopping you but if you don't change your attitude and values towards life, then its of no use. So don't change your religion but change your attitude & values towards life and see life from a different perspective.

We need to stop blaming God for our difficult times but rather our karma. What is happening to us is based on our ''KARMA VIPAK''(the fruits of our actions) and not to some 'Fairytale destiny that God wrote for us' !.

If a smoker gets lung cancer then its due to his karmic action(smoking).We cant stop or control the reaction(cancer) that karma throws at us but we can stop and control the action(smoking).Hence whatever happens to us is based on what we did in this life or the previous. Its not philosophy, its science.(every action has an equal but oppersite reaction).

Hinduism is not just a religion but a ''way of life'' hence it is impossible to 'CONVERT' from Sanathan Dharma, and if one says he converted from Hinduism, then this means he wasn't Hindu in the first place!!!

I had an uncle who 'converted' for the better and preached alot about it by me as well(u was little older than a toddler then). There was a time i remember that he said he was wrong to 'convert' and life was as it always was. He then got detached from the material world and followed Hinduism again. These things are not propagated by Hindus as we have no desire to do so.

Leave those who condemn and criterize alone, as they have forgotten their rich culture, heritage and 'way of life' for even in the Markandeya Purana, yamadooth describes Hell and says...''These crows prick the tongues of those people who had criticised Vedas, deities,Brahmins and teachers.

Personally, i will never 'convert' since millions of Hindus where killed in India by missionary's belonging to 2 other religions. Those who didn't convert where killed. If i therefore even try to 'convert', then it will disrespect millions of my ancient ancestors who sacrificed their life for #SANATHANDHARMA.   

JAI SHREE RAAM.
