HAHAHA\nIt is VEDA MANTHRAM.\n\nVEDAS are the basic scriptures of HINDU religion. THERE are FOUR Main VEDAS known as RIG VEDA, YAJUR VEDA, SAMA VEDA, & ATHARVANA VEDA.\n It is also known as SRUTHI since Vedas are sound waves , meaning ful sound waves which abound in the atmospheric world time immemorial and the sages of India by their power of concentration and extra perceptions were able to recive them, as we capture sound magnetic electric waves through antennas, and have classified them and given to humanity to be learnt, preserved, and practice . The VEDA recital would be a melodious song like hymns, with different variations in tone, This is taught orally by a teacher and repeated by the disciples. SRUTHI means one which is heard by the ears, learnt by word of mouth and picked up by hearing and repetition.\nAUDIO casettes can be obtained and some free downloads of certain MANTRAS SOOKTAS are also there.\nMANTRAM means recitation of words having magic powers. akin to prayers.There are millions of Mantras to please various gods and get what we want or even not to want anything

“God has no religion” \n Mahatma Gandhi \n \n“There is no god higher than truth.” \n Mahatma Gandhi \n \n“I believe in the fundamental Truth of all the great religions of the world. I believe that they are all God given. I came to the conclusion long ago... that all religions were true and also that all had some error in them.” \n Mahatma Gandhi

Thats a vague question.\nWell, there are 3 main Gods. Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the protector), and Shiva (the destroyer). \nHindus believe in Karma, reincarnation, and samsara (life cycle through reincarnation) until the achievement of Moksha which is unity with God. It can be achieved with supremely good Karma. Karma, as you should know, is the idea that what goes around comes around. Reincarnation is the idea that we are reborn into the world with another life after death. We only freed from this when we achieve Moksha.\nThe caste system is comprised of 6 main castes, with the Brahmans on the top and the Untouchables on the bottom. The system no longer exists in mainstream India today.

Hindu Beliefs\nThe beliefs of hindu thought are wide and varied, and have been expounded upon by saints and writers throughout the centuries. Some of the salient elements of hindu beliefs are presented below (from an article in Hinduism Today, April 1993). The two articles Duty to masses and Why we differ, also provide tremendous insights into hindu beliefs. Enjoy! \nOn Creation: \nThe universe exists in endless cycles of creation, preservation and destruction. There is no absolute end to the world. \nOn The True God: \nThere is but one true and absolute Self, Supreme Being. God is pure Love. \nOn Paths to God: \nMan is free to choose his form of worship, for all paths lead ultimately to God. Sin is only of the mind; Soul is pure. \nOn Man's Plight: \nMan's suffering is but his soul's immaturity. He is on a progressive path which leads from ignorance to knowledge, from death to immortality. \nOn Evil: \nThere is no intrinsic evil. All is good. All is God. \nOn Virtue and Salvation: \nVirtuous conduct and light belief are the foundation of religious life. Liberation requires knowledge and personal attainment. \nOn Doctrines: \nDoctrines tend to be subtle, complex and even paradoxical. Freedom to worship and to believe in a variety of ways is predominant. \nOn Enlightenment: \nThe goals of enlightenment and liberation are to be found in this life, within man himself. \nOn Sainthood: \nThe path to saintliness is through self-discipline, purification, concentration, and contemplation. Value is placed on ascetic ideals, individual sadhana, and yoga. \nOn Worship: \nWorship is individualistic, highly ritualistic and meditative, centering around the temple and home shrine all days of the week

There are sevral Things abt Hindu religion. Actually its worlds third most popular religion in the world. They Beleive in universal soul and even though they beleive in many gods but still they think that there is one god in the world who has made this world and who is the creator,preserver and destroyer.They believ there is one religion in the world, A religion fill with fill,respect and care.\nIt beleives that the soul passes through a cycle of successive lives and its next incarnation is always dependent on how the previous life was lived.\n\nSo if you behave badly in this life, your next incarnation is likely to be more unpleasant than your current one—you reap what you sow.\n\nThe Hindu tradition encourages Hindus to seek spiritual and moral truth wherever it might be found, while acknowledging that no creed can contain such truth in its fullness and that each individual must realize this truth through his or her own systematic effort. Our experience, our reason, and our dialogue with others—especially with enlightened individuals—provide various means of testing our understanding of spiritual and moral truth. And Hindu scripture, based on the insights of Hindu sages and seers, serves primarily as a guidebook. But ultimately truth comes to us through direct consciousness of the divine or the ultimate reality.\n \nAnother great aspect of Hinduism is that it has promoted spirituality and recommended restraint in becoming overly materialistic. The knowledge gained by learned people, has been used for general good of the public (such as Ayurveda, Yoga etc). I believe, no other religion or religious literature has such copious mix of spiritualism and knowledge related to daily life applications.\n\nI hope this prove usefull, If You need any more question abt it or want to be more specifc than ask someone who is hindu or who knows abt it not just anyone who actually doesnt know at all but still make it a pleasure to have rude comments\n\nP.S. The answerer 16 Hindu's God is not dead and When You Say God that simply means eternity.Think Before you Comment on something u dont know

Buddhist follow the eightfold path that governs thier acts. That goes for the physical and spiritual sense of self and well being. I wil try and copy thier morals which can direct itself if questioned.\n\n\nRight Viewpoint - Realizing the Four Noble Truths (samyag-dṛṣṭi, sammā-diṭṭhi) \nRight Values - Commitment to mental and ethical growth in moderation (samyak-saṃkalpa, sammā-saṅkappa) \nRight Speech - One speaks in a non hurtful, not exaggerated, truthful way (samyag-vāc, sammā-vācā) \nRight Actions - Wholesome action, avoiding action that would do harm (samyak-karmānta, sammā-kammanta) \nRight Livelihood - One's job does not harm in any way oneself or others; directly or indirectly (weapon maker, drug dealer, etc.) (samyag-ājīva, sammā-ājīva} \nRight Effort - One makes an effort to improve (samyag-vyāyāma, sammā-vāyāma) \nRight Mindfulness - Mental ability to see things for what they are with clear consciousness (samyak-smṛti, sammā-sati) \nRight Meditation - State where one reaches enlightenment and the ego has disappeared (samyak-samādhi, sammā-samādhi) \n\n\n*note* I have studied these principals before and each path to cleanse sufferring has deep details involved. I actually have a notebook that I made that breaks down most religions. And the details for these paths can be further explained. Basically, use Right Thought. This is from wikepedia.

Buddhism is the name of the religion based on the teaching of the historical Buddha,  Gautama Siddhartha. It encompasses a great deal of teachings, but they can be summed up quite succinctly in two main themes. \n\n*Mindfulness \n ~ and ~\n*Compassion\n\nThese are the key to any Buddhist practice. \n\nHere is a little more detail, but for a good understanding, please see the links below.\n\nBuddha researched and came upon the Four Noble Truths:\n\n1) All worldly life is unsatisfactory, disjointed, containing suffering.\n2) There is a cause of suffering, which is attachment or desire (tanha) rooted in ignorance\n3) There is an end of suffering, which is Nirvana.\n4) There is a path that leads out of suffering, known as the Noble Eightfold Path.\n\nThe Noble Eightfold Path as explain in the Four Noble Truths is:\n1 - Right Understanding - (samyag-dRSTi, sammaa-diTTi)\n2 - Right Thought - (samyak-saMkalpa, sammaa-saGkalpa)\n3 - Right Speech - (samyag-vaac, sammaa-vaacaa)\n4 - Right Conduct - (samyak-kalmaanta, sammaa-kammanta)\n5 - Right Livelihood - (samyag-aajiiva, sammaa-aajiiva)\n6 - Right Effort - (samyag-vyaayaama, sammaa-vaayaama)\n7 - Right Mindfulness - (samyak-smrTi, sammaa-sati)\n8 - Right Concentration - (samyak-samaadhi, sammaa-samaadhi)\n\nThe moral tenants of Buddhism are summed up in Sila, also known as the Five Precepts. \n1. To refrain from harming living creatures (ahimsa).\n2. To refrain from taking that which is not freely given (stealing).\n3. To refrain from sexual misconduct. (causing Physical, emotional or mental harm to yourself or others.)\n4. To refrain from incorrect speech (lying, harsh language, slander, idle chit-chat).\n5. To refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness.\n\nThe basic practices differ from schools to school, but Mediation and the study of sutra are pretty much universal. \n\nPersonally I find Buddhism to be the most peaceful, selfless and 'real' religion I have ever read about or studied. \n\nI hope this helps.

Well, I think theology is the wrong word since Buddhism is none=theistic. Still, here is a brief description of Buddhist beliefs. \n\nBuddhist beliefs revolve around a few basic principals. The first being the Four Nobel Truths:\n\n1) All worldly life is unsatisfactory, disjointed, containing suffering.\n2) There is a cause of suffering, which is attachment or desire rooted in ignorance\n3) There is an end of suffering, called Nirvana.\n4) There is a path that leads out of suffering, known as the Noble Eightfold Path.\n\nThe Noble Eightfold Path (listed below) is an intellectual understanding of the truth. The 'KNOWLEDGE' of Buddhism is liked to a finger pointing the way to the mood. The truth of Buddhism would be the moon. With knowledge, we point to the truth, just as with a finger we point to the moon. IF you focus on the finger, you will miss the moon but without the finger you will not know where the moon is. The same is true of the Knowledge and truth of Buddhism.\n\nThe Noble Eightfold Path: (Divided into three categories)\n>Wisdom\n1) Right Understanding - Looking at the world without attachment and desire, without ego.\n2) Right Thought - Keeping the mind on what is at hand and being resolved on renunciation, freedom from ill will, and on harmlessness.\n\n>Ethical Conduct\n3) Right Speech - Abstaining from lying, divisive, abusive and idle chatter.\n4) Right Action - Abstaining from taking life, stealing and improper sexual activities\n5) Right Livelihood - Doing what is right with ones life.\n\n>Concentration or Mental Development\n6) Right Effort - A persistent desire and an matching endeavor to participate in proper activates the are good and just.\n7) Right Mindfulness - Remaining focused on ones actions, speech, thoughts and lively hood.\n8) Right Concentration - by abandoning all selfishness and adopting a heart of compassion, keeping ones mind on what needs to be do including the helping of others.\n\nTo aid in the practice of the Noble Eightfold Path, the Five Precepts or the moral tenants of Buddhism are:\n\n1. To refrain from harming living creatures (ahimsa).\n2. To refrain from taking that which is not freely given (stealing).\n3. To refrain from sexual misconduct. (causing Physical, emotional or mental harm to yourself or others.)\n4. To refrain from incorrect speech (lying, harsh language, slander, idle chit-chat).\n5. To refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness.\n\nThe practice of Buddhism is found in studding the Sutras and more importantly for Ch'an (Zen) meditating to free the 'Unborn Buddha-mind' that is within all of us. \n\nI have included a couple of links that should help you learn more is you are interested.\n\nI hope this helps.
