Sri Ramakrishna's teachings on Interfaith

"Every man should follow his own religion. A Christian should follow
Christianity and a Mohammedan - Mohammedanism. For the Hindu, the ancient path -
the path of the Rishis is the best.

A truly religious man should think that other religions are also many paths
leading to the Truth. One should always maintain an attitude of respect towards
other religions".

As one and the same material, viz. water, is called by different names by different people--one calling it 'water,' another 'vâri,' a third 'aqua,' and another 'pani'--so the one Sat-kit-ânanda, the Everlasting-Intelligent-Bliss, is invoked by some as God, by some as Allah, by some as Hari, and by others as Brahman.

Destruction

Old age destroys beauty.
Hope destroys patience.
Death destroys life.
Anger destroys a fortune.
Serving a wicked person destroys good qualities.
Lust destroys shyness, while Pride destroys EVERYTHING.

(Mahabharata, Udyog Parva)

Upanishad

Upanishad is fundamental HINDU book.
Many instances we never had a chance to even see VEDAS, Upanishad and Bhagavad Gita.

Here I attach my link where I have given permission for you to download them, if you like:

The intention is to evoke a healthy thinking and attain a good understanding of what Hinduism means.

Religion lead to Bhakti and NOT blind-folded Viciousness








"Vinayagar Chadhurthi".
Sometimes we had to wonder, in the name of religion, what exactly we are trying to practice. Honesty speaking, one should definitely follow a religion for the reasons, religion paves way for us to development a fundamental good thinking and guides good practices for a better and healthier personal & social living.

And Hinduism being the fundamental and most ancient religion, imparts best of the knowledge for the mankind. How should we deal with people who wrongly interpret and make pecuriliar practices and habits in the name of religion?
Religion guides us to bhakthi and most times devotees of some parts of the Hindu Country, expresses religion as "Veri (Tamil Translated) or ferocious".
Religious practices are humble and for the good and cannot be cruel.
But see pictures, are we doing justice to our religion or the God?
Do we worship the Statue as God or we regard God as just a Statue?
Raise your consciousness and answer and act...

FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH

OM is the direct designation of the self-originating Absolute Truth, the supersoul, and is the secret essence and eternal seed of all Vedic hymns.

"Suta Goswami in Srimad Bhagavatam"

TRUSTWORTHY

He is a true friend who does not forsake us in time of need, misfortune, famine, or war, in a king's court, or at the crematorium.

--"Chanakya"--

EQUANIMITY

One who constantly dwells upon his misfortune loses all enthusiasm, mental equilibrium, and bodily strength. In this way he meets total defeat in life. On the other hand if a distressed person remains fixed and undisturbed, he can easily regain his position when the next opportunity arises.

--"Bhisma said to Yudhishtira in MAHABHARATA"--
