Among all religions, Hinduism has fascinated me a lot and I am strongly attracted to it. The most interesting fact about Hinduism is the concept of reincarnation, through it one can know about the past life. The effect of Karma is very important in that religion and one must be very careful because they are permanent until the end of the life cycle. For example, a person horribly has to remain in that particular condition as punishment for bad karma. We can also take this thing in a positive way, that is, it can be a source to prevent people from doing bad deeds because they know that by doing so they will receive punishment in the world and only when their life ends then there will be a chance to be reborn in better conditions. Hinduism is totally obsessed with knowledge, logic and science. The most interesting fact is that the goal of this religion is to achieve self-realization and it is the third largest religion in the world and there is no higher authority or governing body in charge of this religion. No founder of this religion is known, its practice derives from ancient sages and saints and is the oldest of all existing religions. The only thing that challenges me is the Hindu belief in idols, considering them so sacred that they even feed them and put them to sleep. The flaw of this religion is discrimination between people on the basis of caste system. I would like to define religion as a bond or link between man and God. The goal of all religions is almost the same, which is to try to bring people to something that lies behind the surface of life. In my opinion, obedience to religion all depends on faith and trust without which a person cannot do anything. there are many other religions in the world like... middle of paper... they will go to heaven. But the similarity is that they both believe in an afterlife. Followers of Western and Eastern religions believe that their every action will result in a moment of reaction. Eastern religions believe in Karma, if you do good to others then you will have a better life when a person is reincarnated. In Western religions they believe that sinners will receive punishment or must be made up for with good deeds. Both types of religions involve people. According to Eastern religion, the good life consists of dharma, while in the Western religion the good life consists of obeying God's law and reason. In Eastern religion there are many paths to enlightenment, and many spiritual practices aim to quiet the mind to allow enlightenment, while spiritual practice is often aimed at developing and maintaining personal relationships with God..
