MULTI FAITH APROACH TO THE TEACHING OF HINDUISM

Some may ask why too much talking of multi-faith approach in religious and moral education and regards to hinduism in particular?
We use multi-faith to down play scholary views which felt to consider or regards Hinduism as a religion. Down play that view of hinduism as a social system. As a vast family of religious tradition,contrasting and conflicting King Richard objected the term hinduism as viewed from western import which was brought by missionaries.
The term hinduism is believed to be coined by missionaries wanted to unify a variety of discourse. Hinduism is commonly known by its believers doing worship known as 'puja'. A ceremony of making offerings to their gods using coconut,flowers and apples . A priest leading the function of applying a spot of red or yellow pigment ,the tilak to the foreheads of the followers . Annually believers mostly in India flock to the river Ganges to be purified by being immersed in the river's waters.
According to Smith hinduism is certainly a concept with Indians and the term is unknown to classical Hindus. Most scholars then agreed that hinduism is not meaningful unity of discourse ,because it covers ethical issues ,philosophical and social dimensions. Hence Smith observed that in hinduism there is any hardly single theme which can be shown to be varied for all the hindus.
One God is believed to be superior being and may be considered inferior with other hindus. To understand hinduism one should put it in the context of other religions. Lets explore to prove whether hindu can be proved to be a religion.Why hinduism to be taught like other religions?
Hinduism has most components of a religion as defined by various scholars.As noted by Hutchson(1969) religion may be defined as a system of holy forms which range from beliefs, practices ,ways of thinking and feelings. According to a historians and phenomenologist of religion ,like Nathan Soderblom ,Rudolf Otto and Geradus Van Der Lew they hold the sacrelity of holiness to be the holymark of religion and its essence.
Cultural systems beliefs can't be given the title religion as they is nothing which is believed sacred by the believers.
The western culture is so alien to hindu which tend to see life as chronological line of events in history.Hinduism is a different way of understanding life as a self-repeating cycle in which mankind's history is of less significance.
There is something the hindus adore Brahman. Who is the ultimate being 'God'.Brahman is believed to be a supreme of holy or equivalent to the supreme being ,according to their holy writings known as 'upanishards' which viewed Brahman as internal ,eternal ,unchanging and timeless.
He(Brahman) is a unifying reality,outstanding power of the universe and ultimate reality of all things depend.
Definition of hinduism is so complex since it has no definite creed,priestly hierarchy or governing board.However it have swamis(teachers)and spiritual guides (gurus).
Hinduism qualifies to be a religion as a belief in spiritual beings. Central to hinduism is beliefs in spirits and most scared places for example mountains ,rivers ,crossroads are believed to be the home of spirits or gods.
