"In my opinion, philosophies becom religions when people become enshrined; when their thoughts are "canonized." While I do plan on reading all of the vedas, the author I am reading for "geeta" (proper? Don't want to say the wrong thing!) Is definitely of the opinion that the gita is the only vedic text one ever needs to read. It's the most abrahamic I have ever seen an eastern author be."-well I do not know whos actually presenting hinduism to you. In my humble opinion he is actually not entirely aware of Indias History and probably suffers from the same intellectual corruption that a lot of Indians suffer. My advice read the vedas first because the geeta to me is basically a part of the mahabharata and it does not represent hinduism in its totality. i dunnu how abrahamic it is though because the geeta i have read and we have in our house certainly isnt like the bible or koran. but yes there might be similarities which will be there in any kind of theistic book.-"I think we have much in common despite our backgrounds. I look forward to exploring this!"-It has been a pleasure to meet everyone here. i am also looking forward to meaningful and enlightening discussions on this forum.
