Hinduism
Hinduism is like an all-encompassing ocean. Here, in the West only
rational thought is considered essential for science and faith for religion.
Hinduism stresses the whole consciousness, which also includes rational
thought and faith, and is more universal. It is a living philosophy of life.
-Hinduism is the oldest living religion of the world. Great thinkers all
over the world agree with this. Any one individual or a prophet does not
formally enunciate Hinduism. It is the collection of revelations to several
saints during their period of rigorous and disciplined meditation
(Tapasyaa). This collection of revelations is known as the Vedaas. -
Hinduism is a natural way of life. It is not a constructed main road but a
self-formed footpath trodden by the continuous walking of masses by
their own will and choice. Hinduism is never imposed on any body at
any time and is only religion in the world that does not believe in
conversion. It wants everyone to realise the Almighty through their own
will. -Hinduism is a symbol of unity. It is not a single religion, but a
composite one where people of various religions were put together under
a single shade. The diversity of rituals, belief, castes, food, dress, social
behavior, languages and politics have not been able to destroy the deeper
spirituality of Hinduism. -Hinduism is the religion of experience. It is
not based on dogmas and creeds to be accepted with blind faith, but is
based on self-realisation. -Hinduism allows absolute freedom in the faith
and mode of worship, not insisting that God could be reached through
only a particular name, place or path. -Hinduism has sacred scriptures
written by women saints, no other religion matching this feature. -
Hinduism states that God is everything and everywhere. -Hinduism is a
religion of love and gratitude, and of tolerance and patience giving due
respect to all religions.
OM
Om is the Akshara, or the imperishable - i.e. God. Om is the Universe,
and this is the exposition of Om. The past, the present and the future, all
that was, all is, all that will be, is Om. Likewise all else that may exist
beyond the bounds of time, that too is Om. Another word for Om is
Pranava ('Nu' meaning praise and `Pra' meaning superior) Thus Om
means the best prayer or praise. The letters AUM also stand for the
mantra `Tat Twam Asi' which means That which you are., Man's
realisation of divinity within himself. This relieves man from the
fragmentation of body, mind, psyche and spirit. Om is composed of
three sounds 'AH', `00', `MM'. It is the first word uttered and from it
come all the alphabets and all the phonetics. The letter `AH' begins the
sound of OM and this sound is the first letter of the alphabet in all
languages. The letter `00' sustains the sound of OM. And finally `MM'
ends the sound of OM. Hence Om stands for the Trinity - Brahmaa (The
Creator), Vishnu (The Sustainer) & Mahesh (The Destroyer). The
Sanskrit `Om' and the Latin 'Omne' come from the same root.'Omkar' for
the Sikhs and `Amen' for the Christians may also come from the same
root. The Mantra Om precedes all Hindu prayers. It is the original sound
of Brahmaa. It may be practiced silently or vocally. The vibration of it
should permeate the whole of our beings. It helps purify the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being. "On the bow of the
mystic syllable Om, place the arrow of the Self, point at the target of
Brahman, with an undistracted mind stretch the bow and penetrate the
mark," Mundak Upanishad.

Dashera Who created God? Nobody. God is the creator of all things.
There is no creator of this Great creator. He is the Supreme Being.
But if nobody created God, how did He come to exist? He did not come
to exist. He exists. There was no time when He was not. There will be
no time when He will not be. He is eternal that is beginningless and
endless. He is never born (Aja or Ajanma). He never dies (Amara). Why
should we worship God? His worship creates in us an appreciation for
His qualities and a love for Him. The more we love Him the more we try
to be like Him. Prayer purifies our mind of all the undesirable passions
and helps us in our spiritual advancements. If we worship God, will He
forgive our past or future sins? No, God's laws are immutable. Even He
cannot override them. Nor we ought to persuade Him to do so. Prayer
will prevent us from committing sins. But a true devotee will gladly
submit to the punishment for the sins committed. What is Heaven? What
is Hell? Heaven and Hell are not geographical or spacial places. They
are conditions of a soul. If the soul is in a good and prosperous life, it is
in Heaven, otherwise in Hell. What is Moksha, Mukti, or salvation? It is
a condition in which the soul gets its highest stage of development or
evolution. Then it is released from birth cycle. What should we eat? Our
diet should fulfill the following requirements: 1) It should be conducive
to health 2) It should not in any way be injurious to our mind or body as
wine or tobacco 3) It should not be procured by unfair means for
example theft, fraud, robbery or bribery. 4) It should not cause pain to
any living being. Fish, fowl, meat or eggs should be avoided, as they
cannot be produced without giving pain to others. Should we drink
wine? Never. It muddles the brain and leads to other vices. Should we
smoke? No. It leads to diseases such as cancer and does harm to the
brain.
HINDU WORSHIP OR UPASANA
Worship is the expression of devotion, reverence and love to the Lord,
of keen yearning to be united with Him and of spiritual thirsting to hold
conscious communion with Him. The devotee prays to the Lord for
granting Him intense devotion and removing the veil of ignorance. He
pines for His benign grace. He constantly remembers His Name. He
repeats His Mantra. He sings His praise. He does Kirtana. He hears and
recites His Lilas. He lives in His Dhama in the company of His devotees.
He meditates on His form, His nature, His attributes and His Lilas. He
visualizes the form of the Lord with closed eyes and enjoys supreme
peace and bliss. Worship is the effort on the part of the Upasaka, i.e., he
who does Upasana or worship, to reach the proximity or presence of
God or the Supreme Self. Upasana literally means sitting near God.
Upasana is approaching the chosen ideal or object of worship by
meditating on it in accordance with the teachings of the Sastras and the
Guru and dwelling steadily in the current of that one thought, like a
thread of oil poured from one vessel to another (Tailadharavat). It
consists of all those observances and practices, physical and mental, by
which the aspirant or Jijnasu makes a steady progress in the realm of
spirituality and eventually realises in himself - in his own heart - the
presence of Godhead.
BENEFITS OF WORSHIP
Worship of the Lord purifies the heart, generates harmonious vibrations,
steadies the mind, purifies and ennobles the emotions, harmonises the
five sheaths, and eventually leads to communion, fellowship or God-
realisation. Upasana helps the devotee to sit near the Lord or to
commune with Him. It fills the mind with Suddha Bhava and Prema or
pure love for the Lord. It gradually transmutes man into a divine being.
Upasana changes the mental substance, destroys Rajas and Tamas and
fills the mind with Sattva or purity. Upasana destroys Vasanas, Trishnas,
egoism, lust, hatred, anger, etc. Upasana turns the mind inward and
induces Antarmukha Vritti. It eventually brings the devotee face to face
with the Lord, frees the devotee from the wheel of births and deaths, and
confers on him immortality and freedom. The mind becomes that on
which it meditates in accordance with the analogy of the wasp and the
caterpillar (Bhramara-Kitaka Nyaya). Just as you think, so you become.
This is the immutable psychological law. There is a mysterious or
inscrutable power (Achintya Sakti) in Upasana which makes the
meditator and the meditated identical. You will find in the Bhagavad-
Gita: "But by devotion to Me alone, I may thus be perceived, O Arjuna;
and known and seen in essence and entered, O Parantapa" (Ch. XI, 54).
Patanjali Maharshi emphasizes in various places, in his Raja Yoga
Sutras, on the importance of Upasana. For even a Raja Yogi, Upasana is
necessary. He has his own Ishta Devata or guiding Deity - Yogesvara
Krishna or Lord Siva. Self-surrender to God is an Anga (limb) of Raja
Yoga and Kriya Yoga. Patanjali says: "One can enter into Samadhi
through Upasana."
Of all those things which are conducive to spiritual advancement,
Adhyatmic uplift and the and the acquisition of Dharma, Upasana is one
which is not only indispensably requisite, but eminently beneficial to all
classes and grades of people. It is easy too. Eating, drinking, sleeping,
fear, copulation, etc., are common in brutes and human beings, but that
which makes one a real man or a God-man is the religious
consciousness. He who leads a mere outward sensual life without doing
any Upasana in an animal only, though he wears outwardly the form of a
human being.
