Abstract:

AbstractAmerican interest in and knowledge of religion in India began before Americans imagined Hinduism as a coherent world religion. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century, Americans used a variety of terms to describe, represent, and imagine the religious culture of India: Gentoos, Hindoos, religion of the Hindoos, Hindoo religion, Brahmanism, heathenism, and paganism. Each term meant different things to different writers at different times. But there was no Hinduism, a world religion originating in India and comparable to others, in America prior to the late nineteenth century. Americans

Abstract:

Hinduism is considered the oldest religion in the world, predating even the Vedic civilization. Unlike other major religions with a specific founder—such as Prophet Muhammad for Islam or Jesus Christ for Christianity—Hinduism has no singular originator. Instead, it is often referred to as Sanatana Dharma, meaning "eternal religion." This study aims to explore the historical development, core principles, and global influence of Hinduism while addressing common misconceptions. The research employs a document study approach, analysing primary sources such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahab

Abstract:

It is a reality in world history that human and religion are inseparable from the beginning of the world. In the beginning religion for all humans was only one. But with the growth of human generation, humanity diverged from religion. Then the creator of the universe sent his messengers to guide mankind to straight path. But sometime after the death of the messengers and their companions, the believers coming at that time replaced the teachings of God. And they adopted a new man-made religion. Thus the number of religious increased in the world, now there are many religions in the world, the l

Abstract:

Among all religions of the world, Hindu religion is considered as an ancient religion that is recognized as foundation of civilization. Hindu Dharma is a righteous way of life based on accumulated wisdom of great sages, Vedas, Upanishads and Agamas.

Hinduism is the world’s oldest religious tradition; it goes back to the very dawn of history. The hymns composed some 5,000 years ago are still recited today. Hinduism is the thi

This study explores the complex relationship between humour, satire, and artistic expression in relation to blasphemy within Hinduism. Moving beyond a rigid definition of blasphemy, the research investigates the "Line of Offense", the blurry boundary between artistic expression intended to amuse or critique, and deliberate acts that cause outrage. Humour and satire function as powerful tools in Hinduism, with a rich tradition of mocking revered figures and doctrines to spark social discourse and religious critique. The study examines how this "Power of Mockery" has been wielded throughout hist

Using the tools of philosophical critique, we see his attempt to dissect the real “principal” (Ambedkar, 2014a, p. 10) of religion beyond the apparitional nature of rites, rituals, and taboos.

Abstract:

AbstractIn his Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion Hegel critically refers to Hinduism as ‘The Religion of Imagination’ or, in another translation, ‘The Religion of Phantasy’. Hegel’s study of Hinduism came during the period when there was a rapidly growing interest in India, indeed, an Indomania, in the German-speaking world. Hegel meticulously kept up with the most recent publications in the field. This article examines Hegel’s critical assessment of Hinduism in order to determine what specifically he finds objectionable in it. It is argued that his objection ultimately concerns what he t

The research article addresses the underline reason for opting for Secularism in India by Nehru.Nehru knew India was a home of people from different cultures, languages, religions, and ethnicities. So,choosing one religion, i.e., Hinduism, would create problems for the rest of the religions, and in the future other religions may ask for a separate country. An aggressive reaction was seen by other parties who wanted to protect Hinduism after the adoption of Secularism in India. Secularism welcomes all religions and allows people of its Nation to live freely by treating everyone equally. Gandhi

Abstract:

Sanamahism is a noticeable phenomenon in the religious picture of the Indian state of Manipur, the ethno-national religion of the Meitei people, which began to form on the basis of old traditional cults in the 1930s. Adherents of Sanamahism initially opposed their religion as the main form of expression of ethnic identity Meitei (Meiteilon) to Hinduism: they emphasized the forced conversion of Meitei to Hinduism, and the organizations they formed, “Apokpa Marup” in 1930 and “Meitei Marup” in 1945, were in a tough fight against the “Brahma Sabha”.

As the Balinese sought official religious acceptance in Indonesia, they formalized their ethnic customs and transformed them into a universal religion with an Abrahamic model called “Agama Hindu Dharma”. In aligning itself with Hinduism, the Balinese had to restructure their internalized indigenous faith and share it with Hindus beyond the island, including with others in the archipelago and the religious hearth of India. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), commonly known as The Hare Krishna Movement, is a Hindu-based New Religious Movement. With their active presence

Studying other religions is a legacy left by medieval Muslim scholars. As a Muslim scholar, al-Biruni’s Kitab al-Hind was a unique contribution to the study of Hinduism. This study explores al-Biruni’s approaches to studying Hinduism, culture, and civilisation by reviewing related manuscripts and literature. Al-Biruni studied the Hindu scripture in its original language. He investigated Hindu theology and philosophy, their caste system in the society, law and ethics, rituals, and festivals. In Kitab al-Hind, an entire chapter was dedicated to Hindu scriptures which included Veda and Puranas. C
