Hinduism is a beautiful religion. Often criticised for Idol worship and rituals. One can practice Hindu religion without Idol and rituals. Emphasis is on internal harmony
Hinduism is the only religion (In fact culture) which is not book-based religion, books come into existence by 5000 years ago through meditation (Vedas, etc). Hindus main aim is enlightenment, Liberation, freedom from birth and death. God is secondary to them, In the Gita, God guides him (Arjuna) to enlightenment and righteousness (Dharma) not to stick to him. Hindus are seekers, not believers ( like other religions). Hindus follow karma yoga (good actions). Meditation, Yoga (union with the divine), self-knowledge (who am I), penance, watching breath are primary to them and book/s are secondary to them. Other religions concept is one god exists but Hindus concept is the only god exists in everything and everywhere nothing else. Hindus say body and mind do not belong to you one day you have to leave them. Only your real self is yours find out that you 'll be enlightened. Hindus say all living beings are divine. They say both waking state and sleep state are an illusion(Maya). Actual Hinduism is Sanatana Dharma means an Eternal Religion.
