The earnest desire of ever human being wants to be in the spared of problems in the life. He will like to be ever immersed in happiness.
Asmin Jagati Pipeeli kaadi Brhma Paryantam Sarvah Sukha meva Ichhanti.
(The meaning, right from the smallest creature like ant to the
Supreme Lord Brahman desires to be in the utmost happiness)
For the creature it is a materialistic (temporary) Happiness
but for the Brahman that Happiness is called
Blissfulness (Permanent).
Hinduism is the most ancient religion on this earth globe.
India is basically a country of Hindu religion. In this country every aspect of life is administrated by religion. As Indians have been living on the clemency of the nature, the elements of the nature have become part of the religion in this country. Belief is a proof that a particular thing is true. It is the belief in the existence of an unseen power;; the belief in the existence of heaven and hell (Swarga and Naraka)
and the belief in the immortality of soul.
The belief in the existence of an unseen power leads a man to right action (Karma) because he believes that his actions are being watched by an unseen power. The belief in reincarnation keeps the man away from wrongful acts because he believes that in order to have a good birth in next life, he must do good acts in this life. The belief in Nemesis also regulates man’s behaviour because he believes that he will be punished for his sins, here and now. The fourth belief in the existence of hell and heaven influences a man to virtuous acts and avoid sins in order to go to heaven or avoid going to hell after death. Heaven is a place full of luxuries, fairies and romance. Hell is a place of terror, miseries and torture. The last belief in the immortality of the soul leads a man to avoid such actions as will cause pain to the souls of the deceased ancestors. Beliefs are powerful influences on human actions. They are vital for human relations. Beliefs may be true or false. They may be founded on factual or faulty evidence, but the question of their validity does not necessarily determine their effectiveness as social/ self controls. We act with as much determination from false beliefs as from factually sound ones. Social suggestions (life examples of great men) or ideologies, are social control methods for the society as a group, but for the individual, some other means are: The Hindu ethical code attaches great importance to values such as truth, right conduct, love, peace
and non violence. All Hindu ceremonies, rituals and worships end with a prayer for universal peace and
harmony.
An important principle in the Hindu thought is the law of Karma. It is the law of cause and effect in which
each and every action has a reaction, generating conditions to be experienced within this lifetime or the
You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work.
The work should do like a Nishkama Karma. You should never engage in action for the sake of expecting any result, nor should you long for inaction. Perform work in this world, Arjuna, as a man established within himself—without selfish attachments, and alike in success and defeat. For Karma yoga is perfect evenness of mind.
(Bhagavad Gita)
Customs:
Religious Customs are the long established habits and usage of the people since the Yugas.Right from the Yugas generations together the customs that have persisted to practise in human life. It is being
continued and carried forward to their next generation.. Hindus believe if those customes
are done according to the Desa Kala mana (Region, place, time etc)
they will be happy and blessed with the auspicious things and also
finally get the Liberation (Emancipation). They are followed because they have been followed in the past. The customs are so powerful that no one can escape their range.
They are held so sacred that any violation is regarded not only a social crime, but also a desecration These Religious Customs are
so many , that can not be found in other religion.
Here I am going to present the religious customs (Sampradayam
and Acharam) that were given in our Hindu Sacred Scripts like Vedas, Sastras, Mythologies etc., which are totally related to the present life and the death
after life.
Why the Coconut is offered to the God in the Pooja (worship) and what is the reason behind it ?.
1) On the occasion of worshiping the Diety or in the festival time, or in the
Yagna or Homas (hawan) and all the holy ritual time the Coconuts are offered to the
respective God or Goddess for the sake of sacred respct in the form of
that we surrendered to Him /Her (God or Goddess) by taking off Egoism ("I" ness which is called Ahamkara)
(because of Egoism the Ignorance ariss which causes for the rebirth).
The symbolism of offering coconut is ... The upper portion of the coconut
is shell which is Egoism (Ahamkara) that we are now eradicating .
The inside whiteness of the thickest flower is our mind which is very pure
(thoughtless) submitted to Him and the inside sweet water is so clean
like a crystal clear to keep one's life like chaste.
The Coconut can be compared with our human body.
a) dried globular skin of the coconut is like human body's skin.
b) the coir of the coconut is like a flesh.
c) the thickest whiteness of flower is like human body's element (Dhatuvu)
d) the sweet water is the base of life
e) the three eyes in the form of spots on the top of the coconut is
human body's IDA, PINGALA and SUSHUMNA for which
Pranayaham can be performed to attain the eternal bliss.
