“Transcendental Meditation was derived from Hindu technique of meditation. The New Age movement has taken many of it’s concept from Hinduism.

The coloured dot on a Hindu’s forehead symbolizes the third eye, the one focused inward towards God.

I feel the more we know about other religions, the more tolerable of them we are. Tolerate other religions, so this world will be a great place for all to live in.

It is very well written. The concept of Caste was corrupted in India from the year 1400 AD onwards. Till that point, a person was alloted a caste strictly on the way he lived his life. Children went to study in residential schools and based on how they lived, they would be put in castes on attaining adulthood. This was perverted by a set of Brahmins who claimed that a man was a Brahmin only by birth. Another fact worth looking into is that Hindu practises are used in Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia as well as Indoensia. These countries merged Hindu concepts with Buddhism and in Indonesia's case with Islam. The island of Bali is still Hindu. Thanks for the article.
