Hinduism
My understanding of Hinduism is that it is not a "Religion". It is a faith / belief. The supreme court of India in its verdiect declared Hinduism as a philosophy and not a Religion.
To me, this article should be corrected accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.138.39.56 (talk) 14:06, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- Hinduism is certainly not a philosophy or a fatih/belief. There are literally hundreds of incompatible philosophies, faiths and beliefs in Hinduism.....BrahmanAdvaita (talk) 20:39, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
- India has spiritual traditions [sampradāya]. There is nothing native like religion per se in India. Dharma means a principle which one adopts to follow [dhāraņāt-dharmetyāhuĥ]. A dharma which has been a time-honored principle is called a sanātana dharma (two words) [Example: satyam brūyāt priyam brūyāt na brūyāt satyam-apriyam / priyam ca nānŗtam brūyāt eșa dharma sanātanaĥ - Bhartŗhari.] Kanchanamala (talk) 03:28, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Yoga
I would like to make a revision to the section discussing Yoga. In particular, I would like to discuss how the Hindu practice of yoga has psychological benefits, as well as a comparison between modern day and traditional Hindu psychology. My proposed revision is as follows: "The practice of yoga in Hindu tradition also has psychological benefits, allowing one to develop control over their mind and body. Rather than adapting the sick or mentally ill mind (the primary focus of modern psychology), traditional Hindu psychology focuses on enhancing the normal and healthy mind through the practice of meditative techniques such as yoga." I would like to make this revision for a class assignment. Thank you. Kozars (talk) 21:27, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

- That would belong in the Yoga article. Yoga was secularized by Buddhism a while ago, and secularized further by the West. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:20, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
