I am a Hindu... at least I call myself that. I follow the basic
guidelines of hinduism and always try to follow what little I've learnt
about my religion. There are certain points of this religion that I do
not thnik fit for the present day. For example.... I do not see the
reason that a Hindu cannot eat beef and do not agree the reason for being
barred from the temple if one's relative has passed away.
Take the eg abt not being able to go to the temple if your parent has
just passed away. In my experience I needed to go to the temple in order
to keep a calm mind.... I was distrought and found that the only remedy
was to pray.
I've long decided not to follow any such rules as long that I do not feel
that it is rite. Is what I am doing wrong?
Am i still considered a hindu?
If I do not follow these "rules" would that cause me to accumulate
"bad"Karma?
