🌺।।10 Things that Hindus should and should not do consciously or subconsciously।।🌺

⚜️1. Stop using the term "God fearing" - Hindus never ever fear God. For us, God is everywhere and we are also part of God. God is not a separate entity to fear.
It is integral. Image
⚜️2. Do not use the meaningless term "RIP" when someone dies. Use 'Om Shanti', 'Sadhgati' or 'I wish this atma attains moksha/sadhgati/Uthama lokas'. Hinduism neither has the concept of "soul" nor its "resting". The terms "Atma" & "Jeeva" are,in a way,antonyms for the word "soul" Image
⚜️3. Do not use the word "Mythology" for our historic epics (Ithihaas) Ramayana and Mahabharata. Rama and Krishna are historical heroes, not just mythical characters. And so are the Dashavatars. Image
