' Main Beliefs of Hindu Religion '...
Hindus believe in a one, all-pervasive Supreme Being who is both immanent and transcendent, both Creator and Unmanifest Reality.
Hindus believe in the divinity of the four Vedas, the world’s most ancient scripture, and venerate the Agamas as equally revealed. These primordial hymns are God’s word and the bedrock of Sanatana Dharma, the eternal religion.
.............................
Hindus believe that the universe undergoes endless cycles of creation, preservation and dissolution.
...............................
Hindus believe in karma, the law of cause and effect by which each individual creates his own destiny by his thoughts, words and deeds.
...........................
Hindus believe that the soul reincarnates, evolving through many births until all karmas have been resolved, and moksha, liberation from the cycle of rebirth, is attained. Not a single soul will be deprived of this destiny.
.............................
Hindus believe that divine beings exist in unseen worlds and that temple worship, rituals, sacraments and personal devotionals create a communion with these devas and Gods.
..............................
Hindus believe that an enlightened master, or satguru, is essential to know the Transcendent Absolute, as are personal discipline, good conduct, purification, pilgrimage, self-inquiry, meditation and surrender in God.
..........................
Hindus believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered, and therefore practice ahimsa, noninjury, in thought, word and deed.
..........................
Hindus believe that no religion teaches the only way to salvation above all others, but that all genuine paths are facets of God’s Light, deserving tolerance and understanding.
..........................
Hinduism, the world’s oldest religion, has no beginning–it precedes recorded history. It has no human founder. It is a mystical religion, leading the devotee to personally experience the Truth within, finally reaching the pinnacle of consciousness where man and God are one. Hinduism has four main denominations–Saivism, Shaktism, Vaishnavism and Smartism.

' Dimensions of your Being '...
You are more than you think you are.. There are dimensions of your being and a potential for realization and consciousness that are not included in your concept of yourself.. Your life is much deeper and broader than you conceive it to be here.. What you are living is but a fractional inkling of what is really within you,, what gives you life,, breadth,, and depth.

' Do Not Depend on Death '...
Don't depend on death to liberate you from your imperfections.. You are exactly the same after death as you were before.. Nothing changes; you only give up the body.. If you are a thief or a liar or a cheater before death,, you don't become an angel merely by dying.. If such were possible,, then let us all go and jump in the ocean now and become angels at once! Whatever you have made of yourself thus far,, so will you be hereafter.. And when you reincarnate,, you will bring that same nature with you.. To change,, you have to make the effort.. This world is the place to do it.
....................... Paramahansa Yogananda

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life;.. not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

' As We Awaken '...
As we blossom or awaken,, we begin to notice there is a force in the world that seems to be operating and leading us into a certain destiny.. And it's very much a kind of detective effort on our own part to figure out what these things mean.. The synchronicity is essentially a meaningful coincidence that brings us information at just the right time.. While leading us forward,, it also feels very inspiring and destined in a way.. It feels like we're on a path of unfolding in our own personal evolution.
.................. James Redfield
' Love Yourself Today '...
Your light is seen,, your heart is known,, your soul is cherished by more people than you might imagine.. If you knew how many others have been touched in wonderful ways by you,, you would be astonished.. If you knew how many people feel so much for you,, you would be shocked.. You are far more wonderful than you think you are. Rest with that.. Rest easy with that.. Breathe again.. You are doing fine.. More than fine.. Better than fine.. You’re doin’ great.. So relax.. And love yourself today.

By evading self-analysis,, people go on being robots,, conditioned by their environment.. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.
