It promotes goodness, happiness and generally a better world through several fundamental precepts: <\/p><p><strong>1<\/strong>.<strong>Ahimsa<\/strong>: the principle of non-violence, which teaches to treat all beings with compassion and respect.<\/p><p><strong>2.Dharma<\/strong>: the moral and ethical duty that guides people toward just and benevolent actions.<\/p><p><strong>3.Seva<\/strong>: selfless service to others, seen as an expression of devotion and compassion.<\/p><p><strong>4.Karuna<\/strong>: active compassion and care for all beings, cultivating empathy and help for those in need.<\/p><p><strong>5.Pluralism<\/strong>: encourages the acceptance of diverse beliefs and spiritual paths, promoting peaceful coexistence among different religious traditions. Also, tolerance towards the LGBTQ+ community. <\/p><p><strong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol';\">6.Orientation towards inner peace, balance, and happiness<\/strong><span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol';\">, through the practice of meditation and yoga.<\/span><\/p><p><strong>7.Kind treatment of animals<\/strong>: Ahimsa includes non-human sentient beings, teaching to treat animals with compassion and avoid causing them unnecessary harm. For this reason, many Hindus (according to some studies, between 30% and 40%) practice a vegetarian or even vegan diet based on the belief that killing animals for consumption is a form of violence. <\/p><p>Hindu stories and legends often feature animals as sacred figures or bearers of spiritual teachings, encouraging consideration and reverence towards them. These principles reflect a deep sensitivity towards animals within Hinduism, influencing the attitudes and daily practices of many of its followers. <\/p><p><strong>8.Respect for nature<\/strong>: Hinduism values nature as sacred and teaches the importance of living in harmony with the natural environment, promoting environmental conservation and compassionate treatment of all forms of life.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><strong><br>HOWEVER\u2026<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having said all the above, there are 3 issues that urgently need reform in Hinduism due to the great harm they cause to innocents:<\/p><p><strong>1.Sexism<\/strong>. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/reform-sexism-in-hinduism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more\u2026<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><strong>2.Castes<\/strong>. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/no-danes\/publicaciones\/concienciemos-sobre-los-sufrimientos-causados-por-el-sistema-de-castas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more\u2026<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><strong>3.Hindu Ultranationalism<\/strong>. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/institutodelbienestar.com\/en\/live-without-harming\/publications\/lets-reform-hindu-nationalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more\u2026<\/a><\/span><\/span> <\/span> <\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, this religion is currently undergoing a process of reformism that seeks to adapt its practices and teachings to the modern world.
