Eye on Religion: Clinicians and Hinduism

Authors: Uma Mysorekar, MD

Abstract

Hinduism is as much a "way of life" as a religion and affects every aspect of life for Hindus from birth throughout their life. Hindus believe that as all streams and rivers lead to the same ocean, all genuine religious (spiritual) paths lead to the same goal; worship of every form of "GOD" and celestial forces leads to the same God. Each one is allowed to pray and worship to a form or a formless according to one's own knowledge, desire, need and spiritual elevation. Hindus believe that God will come to them in every form one desires and prays according to one's need and wish.
