The beauty of Hindu religion
Hindus understand that Hinduism has a universal philosophy that transcends the vastness of the universe and the solar system. Therefore, true scientists and philosophers will not be surprised if rituals in Hindu communities in various countries are carried out in unique ways, which follow local customs, traditions, and culture. This is the beauty of Hindu teachings, where local traditions do not have to be contradicted with ritual procedures in India, the origin of Hinduism.
If Hindus from India are traveling to other countries whether as tourists, businessmen, ex-pats, or scientists, then you will be amazed to see how Hindu rituals are carried out in a different way than the Indian tradition.
The difference is evident in the music, dance, architecture of Hindu temples, language in sacred songs, and the clothes worn during religious rituals and ceremonies.
Although there are differences in every ritual and ceremony such as worship in temples, wedding rituals, cremations, and Hindu religious activities that you see outside India, they always reflect the teachings of the Vedas. Hindus around the world still adhere to the sacred teachings of the Vedas, which have been inherited for thousands of years.
The occurrence of differences in rituals, ceremonies, and traditions carried out by Hindus in various countries such as Bali (Indonesia), Nepal, and other countries are clear evidence that has been running for thousands of years, that Hinduism is very universal beyond time.
Hindu scholars have understood well that the diversity in the traditions practiced by Hindus does not have to imitate the Hindu traditions practiced in India. This amazing fact will make Hindu teachings will develop naturally like the air in the sky that flows in the universe.
Mutual respect and appreciation for the diverse Hindu traditions in various countries is the main capital for Hindus to guard the sacred teachings of Hinduism into an eternal religion throughout the ages. This wise attitude is carried out with the spirit of love as taught by the Vedic scriptures by the ancestors from time to time until now, even going beyond the digital era we are going through today.
The true teaching of Hinduism is to respect the traditions, customs, arts, and culture practiced by Hindus around the world. This is an undeniable fact, Hinduism is a universal that transcends time and the universe.
Therefore, it is important for Hindus around the world to know each other, and see firsthand the beauty of Hindu traditions around the world. Diversity is the core of Hindu teachings that will make Hindus have one goal to make this world peaceful, prosperous, and harmonious.
