Thanks for the definition. But I would like to know more...
Is this a common definition in Hinduism, or a view of small
fraction only? If it is common, are there fractions having
different definitions? If they are, what are their definitions?
(I'm Christian, and the term "religion" means something
significantly different from what your definition sais)
> By this definition science is also a religion. It is a widespread
By my definition it is not, although it may be similar.
I don't want to write my definition now - if one needs it
he/she can ask in some Christian newsgroup - and I want
to see more Hindu definitions unaffected by what I say.
Maybe a way to find what term "religion" means to different
people is to look into postings of Damian Anderson, or to
ask him - he posts to few newsgroups excerpts from books of
Rev. Moon, founder of Unification Church, on one of them,
entitled "Word Scriptures" contains writings from different
religious scriptures ordered by topic - I hope there is
topic like "meaning of religion" somewhere. While comments
and material selection in it may be disguiding, it may be
still valuable due to large amount of quotings, the more
sources of quoted texts are usually specified.
I recently saw Damian posted to "alt.religion.christian",
and some group having "unification" in its name.
I have a question a bit similar to original: what does
mean to belong to some religion? Especially, when one is
considered to be in some Hindu religion?
thanks in advance for the info,
Jerzy
