Facing thousands of questions in a scientific way about Hinduism and finding some answers. Am I ready to face them?

Hello everyone.<br><br>I may have some questions about Hinduism, and I would sincerely appreciate your feedback.<br><br>1. All humans, regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or nationality, are supposed to be the children of Mother Prithvi. Therefore, killing others is seen as a sin in Hinduism.<br><br>I am a Hindu, and my identity is defined by this belief. However, this is not a universal truth; rather, it is a personal belief. Can I assert that this concept is shared by all Hindus? Can I claim it as a universal truth?<br><br>It is a sin to murder someone, yet we kill animals for food. Yes, we need to survive, but we must also respect the life of the animals we consume. Don't we owe the animals a debt of gratitude for being our companions in the cycle of life? If we do not recognize this debt, is murder really a sin?<br><br>2. Hinduism places a significant emphasis on the concept of Dharma. However, Dharma is typically associated with Hinduism and is seen as a universal truth. Hinduism is perceived as a religion, and Hinduism is seen as Dharma or the path of righteousness.<br><br>In the most recent episode of Satyapriya, the debate revolves around the question of whether Dharma and Hinduism are one and the same. Dharma is the path of righteousness, yet Hinduism is also Dharma. If it's not one and the same thing, then Dharma is not a universal truth. Rather, it is a personal belief.<br><br>The truth is, I am unsure about the validity of both of these claims.<br><br>3. The Kauravas were doomed from the beginning. A hundred Kauravas were cursed, and the Pandavas were the blessed ones. But the Pandavas were the ones who committed the sin of gambling, and thousands of women, including Draupadi, were also doomed because of the Pandavas. What does it mean when the blessing and the curse coexist? Which one is correct, and which one deserves to be disobeyed? Can we blame the Kauravas for being cursed, or should we expect the punished Pandavas to obey God's law?<br><br>4. My Guru says that, like I said before, Hinduism is the path of righteousness. I accept his statement. But those who are not Hindus, like Christians or followers of other religions, are also said to be following the path of righteousness. This is what they believe in, and what they practice. Can we assert that what we believe in is the path of righteousness? Can we claim that theirs is the path of sin? Who decides what is the right path and what is the wrong path?<br><br>5. Krishna is a symbol of Dharma. When Krishna becomes a messenger, it means Dharma. This is what I believe. Yes, it is a personal belief, and I believe that Dharma is a personal belief as well. My Guru claims, "The truth is something that has always been there. We must always follow the truth, and we must always choose the path of righteousness." This is what he says.<br><br>Where is the path of righteousness?<br><br>Where is the truth?<br><br>It's not the Gita. It's not the Vedas. It's not the Hindu Mahabharat. It's not the Upanishads. It's not the Shastras or the Smritis. It's not the Ramayana. It's not the feet of the Guru or the blessings of the Guru. It's not the advice of the elders or the blessings of the parents. It's not the path of knowledge or the path of action. It's not the path of devotion. It's not the path of knowledge.<br><br>Look inside yourself. Look inside yourself to find the path of knowledge, the path of devotion, and the path of action. Look deep within yourself. Look inside yourself to find the path.<br><br>And yet, how can I find the path within myself? I need a Guru to show me the path. I need the scriptures to enlighten me. I need the guidance of the elders and the blessings of the parents. I need the blessings of knowledge. I need the blessings of devotion. I need the blessings of action. I need to follow the path of knowledge. I need to follow the path of devotion. I need to follow the path of action.<br><br>And yet, how can I know all of this without the guidance of someone else? How can I know that it's the right path?<br><br>6. Hinduism emphasizes the importance of women's empowerment, as seen in the role of Durga. All Hindu women are supposed to be empowered. Is it true that all Hindu women are empowered?<br><br>What does it mean to be empowered? Does it mean that women are entitled to everything? Does it mean that men are not?<br><br>I don't know. I don't know what it means to be empowered. I don't know what it means to be a man or a woman.<br><br>And Hindu women, are they always empowered? Do they have the right to take revenge? Do they have the right to take revenge?<br><br>Yes, they do. Draupadi took revenge. Sita took revenge. Lakshmi took revenge. Kali took revenge. Durga took revenge. All Hindu women took revenge. But why did they have to take revenge in the first place? Why did they have to depend on someone else to take revenge? Why did they have to depend on someone else to get justice?<br><br>This is what my Guru says. These are his beliefs. According to him, Hinduism is the path of knowledge. Hinduism is the path of action. Hinduism is the path of devotion. Hinduism is the path of righteousness. Hinduism is Dharma.<br><br>But I do not know. I do not know whether Hinduism is the path of knowledge or the path of action. I do not know whether Hinduism is Dharma or not.<br><br>I am a Hindu, and I am proud to be a Hindu. But I am confused about what it means to be a Hindu. I am confused about what it means to be human. I am confused about what is right and what is wrong. I am confused about what is the path of knowledge and what is the path of action. I am confused about what is the path of devotion and what is the path of righteousness. I am confused about what is Dharma and what is not.<br><br>I am confused about what it means to be a Hindu. I am confused about what it means to be a human being. I am confused about what is right and what is wrong. I am confused about what is the path of knowledge and what is the path of action. I am confused about what is the path of devotion and what is the path of righteousness. I am confused about what is Dharma and what is not.<br><br>So, please, tell me, what does it mean to be a Hindu? What does it mean to be a human being? What is right and what is wrong?<br><br>What is the path of knowledge? What is the path of action? What is the path of devotion? What is the path of righteousness? What is Dharma?<br><br>Please, tell me, what does it mean to be a Hindu? What does it mean to be a human being? What is right and what is wrong?<br><br>What is the path of knowledge? What is the path of action? What is the path of devotion? What is the path of righteousness? What is Dharma?<br><br>Please, tell me.<br><br>What does it mean to be a Hindu? What does it mean to be a human being?<br><br>What is right and what is wrong?<br><br>Thank you.<br><br>Edit: The whole of the post is a single quote, and people are criticising about it without understanding it. People are too emotional about their own religion because they don't want their religion to be criticised so they take out their anger on the OP. I am not the OP, people! I am the same Hindu, and I asked questions about Hinduism. It's not a problem that someone is asking questions. It's a problem that people are too emotional about Hinduism
