Somehow we all get exposed to so many diverse ideas about Hinduism many of which are at odds with each other.
There are temples in USA which houses large number of deities so that as a business they attract all kinds of people. I dont even know proper walk to cover all the deities correctly. Many children coming to temple do not know what to do and end up liking the canteen in the end.
The puranic stories preach all kinds of funny things. The Satyanarayana puja done by some at their home makes god to be like a vengeful person.
Many children have no clue what all these deities represent and why there are so many.
Someone said everyone is divine or something and yet Indians have the most divisions in terms of caste.
There is something called Dharma and yet India is one of the top countries known for corruption.
Can we at least enumerate all the known contradictions in today's Hinduism?
Then perhaps experts in the forum can see if they can be resolved.
Often many of us do not know how to answer questions of our kids.
