A true Hindu is one who has tasted the sweetness of freedom of
choice and is wiling to choose death before giving up his
freedom. Freedom of choice to follow a path is the basic human
right and no one shall tell him/her otherwise. Any Hindu who
converts to islam or christianity is giving up his rights and
virtually giving himself and his future generations to slavery.
A
Hindu is one that believes in one God who incarnates, as and when
He feels fit, in the shape and form He wants. God creates,
sustains and destroys when time comes. Many names and forms are
given to each with the love and affection of each individual
devotee. He has, can and will send us as many prophets ( Only
prophet ?) , saints and sons (only son?) and is fully capable of
doing so. Our Dharma is eternal, so is God and all the souls. It is
our conviction that body dies but not the soul. The old scriptures
are a guide to salvation and an individual can steadily make his
way back to God in the speed and path selected. Karma (deeds) and
results of Karma are the basis of our lives. Knowing that
good karma will bring good results and vice versa, our lives can
be guided towards fruition of Salvation termed as Moksha. Guru
plays a very important part in molding our lives and whilst the
Holy book Gita can be accepted as Guru so can the word of Guru
Nanak . A Hindu may or may not agree to some of the points above
but he will willingly give his fellow human the right to practice
religion as and how the other sees fit.
