maybe a little more. you can tell us more about your religion.
most the movies more like to show Fakirs there, and people who bow to idols.

the foundation of Hinduism is non dualism. God is same as we are. God shows himeslef as this world. Our objective is to achieve the godhood. That is the goal of a true hindu. One who has done this becomes a Siddha.

Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world. mahabharata was written more than 5000 years back. The Hindus call God as Brahman. Brahman is our soul. Brahman makes the whole world. There is nothing but Brahman in the world according to Hinduism. We do not see our true nature because of Maya. The goal is to break the curtain of Maya and see the self. Guru helps in doing that.

thanks for information.
I heard about Mahabharata, and I thought Brahman is a clergy man.

My degree is in Religious Studies, and Hinduism was one of the subjects I focused on the most actually. I see a lot of Hindu ideas in the US as part of the "New Age" movement - although it is usually the easy, fun, and flashy stuff (like Tantric Sex.)

None the less, I think Americans might actually know more about Hinduism than Islam, we're just talking about Islam more these days becase we don't know much and it is affecting our lives more.
