HINDUISM AND OTHER RELIGIONS

Can It Benefit a Hindu to Join Other Religions?

A true Hindu recognizes the portion of universal Truth that is manifest in all religions. Great teachings and good values can be found among individuals of all backgrounds which should be honored, but this does not require formally joining any particular church, particularly those which promote exclusive beliefs and thereby divide humanity into hostile camps.

A true Hindu can never take upon one religious identity as opposed to another, just as one cannot leave the universe in which one lives. Hinduism recognizes the truth of religion as such and attempts to maintain that truth in an open tradition. It says that we should recognize all religions as different approaches to the universal religion, which recognizes of the sacred nature and immortality of all beings.
