Hinduism 101
Challenges Facing Hinduism Today
Hinduism faces a number of challenges in the modern world, from the rise of religious nationalism and sectarianism to the persistence of caste-based discrimination and violence. These challenges threaten the core values of Hinduism, including its commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and the welfare of all beings. HfHR is committed to addressing these challenges and promoting a vision of Hinduism that is ethical, liberatory, and committed to social justice.
Building a Liberatory Hinduism
HfHR is committed to building a liberatory Hinduism that is free from the shackles of caste, sectarianism, and religious nationalism. We believe that Hinduism must be reinterpreted in ways that promote justice, equality, and the dignity of all beings, and that challenge oppressive structures and practices. We are committed to working with others to build a Hinduism that is ethical, inclusive, and liberatory, and that contributes to the welfare of all beings.
Modernity and Secularism
Hinduism must engage with the challenges of modernity and secularism in ways that uphold its core values of inclusivity, diversity, and the welfare of all beings. While some may see modernity and secularism as threats to Hinduism, HfHR believes that they can be opportunities for renewal and growth. We are committed to promoting a vision of Hinduism that is open to new ideas and practices, and that engages with the modern world in ways that promote justice, equality, and the dignity of all beings.
Interfaith Relations and Misconceptions
Hinduism has a long tradition of engaging with other religions and philosophies, and this tradition is more important than ever in today's world. HfHR is committed to promoting positive and respectful interfaith relations, and to challenging misconceptions and stereotypes about Hinduism. We believe that Hinduism has much to offer in the pursuit of global harmony and justice, and we are committed to working with others to build a world where all people are treated with dignity and respect. We urge cooperation among the world’s religions for justice and peace.
