Surprisingly some of the recent posts that I've read had to do with religion and more specifically about Hinduism or being a Hindu.
Hinduism! - I think it is very difficult to have a common definition of what it is. If a set of Hindu's are asked to define what it is - I am of the opinion that there are likely to be as many different perceptions of the term as there are respondents. This difference could be in the God(s) worshiped, rituals followed, religious texts followed etc.
That is part of my comment on Hip Hop Grandma's post on her understanding of Hinduism. Personally I dont have any belief or non-belief in religion or hinduism. Given below are a set of links to posts about different people's understanding/views of Hinduism/Religion:
Hip Hop Grandma on Hindu way of life
Kurrodu on To hug a tree
Bharathis on Being a Hindu
Noble Savage (Jay) has several posts on Hinduism. Among these her post on God/belief system probably reflects her own beliefs. Another post (drawn from another source) gives a general overview of Hinduism.
Mister Pregunto - asks a very general question - If you were to create your own religion, what would it be like?
Do you have your own take on the topic?
Note:This is a topic I'm a little wary of touching, because of the emotions that it is likely to rouse and the differences of opinion possible.
