Hinduism / Vedanta has such a sublime body of wisdom - elegant systems Of yoga, philosophy, meditation and medicine, and a magnificent cannon of spiritual literature and poetry.

This really is true.  There is a wealth of work that can touch people from all walks of life.

As regards OP's sentiment of war and religion being tied together, there is also the fact that some of the most renowned works (the Ramayana and the Mahabharata) have war as a core part of their story though -- the Bhagavad Gita kind of stems from a sentiment of a religious obligation to warfare.
Dharma and Karma yoga, the philosophical concepts that tie to the aforementioned obligation, are not necessarily inherently violent tenets though.

however they do connect. oh and SweetLeaf, you can expound on whatever info you want but don't feel you need to dig through anything to find something for me. that's fine...i know about the many branches of Hinduism, it's quite something...but you even said it, there is affluence between two groups in Hinduism because of one's "link" to Jainism, so this is an example of what i'm talking about...why don't they like a particular branch of their religion because they identify with Jain's more than than the other identifies with them? that's a silly reason for affluence.

PS: Vedic poetry is awesome. the Gayatri Mantra is awesome. sometimes i recite that shit, the Sanskrit, because Sanskrit is awesome.

OM BHUR BHUVAH SVAHA TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM BHARGO DEVASYA DHIMAHI DHIYO YO NAH PRACODAYAT

i don't think that's the Sanskrit and i don't know how to write it, lol.

still boss though.

Vedic and Buddhist literature is really quite nice just as it sounds and in it's depth. apparently even when the Veda's were first written/recited, the language was so fucked-up even people then couldn't decipher it altogether....

At the end of the day science proves that religion makes people both happier and healthier. So just be religious and don't start any wars :shrug:



again, i'm talking about connections here...not an ultimatum. i'm not saying Religion = War.

you don't need to read into this thread that way, if you'd prefer not to.
