Recently it was the Hindu big pot festival Or called “Holy Water Bathing Festival” Said it was a long time ago Hindu gods and asuras I fought to grab a pot As a result, the fight was too hard

One accidentally knocked the pot over

There are 4 drops of magic medicine

Fell to 4 cities in India

Later, these cities took turns to engage in activities

Celebrate every 3 years

In other words

A city only runs once every 12 years

This year happens to be the city of Heldeva

The event will continue until the end of April

The highlight of this festival is the Ganges bathing

Ganges as the mother river of India

Although the content is now “rich”

But it gave birth to Indian culture and religion

In the eyes of Hindu believers

It is the embodiment of the goddess of purification

Can eliminate filth and purify the soul

So, these people came all the way

Just to wash away the filth

Every time like this

Countless tents will be erected by the Ganges

Everyone gathers together to sing praise songs

Giving, discussing religious issues together

Very happy

How did Hinduism come from?

According to the statistics

About 1 billion Hindu followers worldwide

India has 900 million

Indian media predicted that this holiday

Will attract 150 million Hindu followers in total

That scene was more exciting than the morning rush hour on the subway

Don’t look at India’s ongoing show-offs

But in history

Religious and cultural traditions are very strong

A long time ago, this place was isolated from the world

By the mountains and rivers, the days are beautiful

This is where the Indus Valley Civilization

At that time, everyone’s beliefs

It’s still relatively simple and primitive

Later, the Aryans broke in

Occupy the territory near the Ganges

Also developed: Vedicism

“Vedas” means knowledge, enlightenment

The Aryans made a set of Vedic classics

Established the basic doctrine

ps. There are 4 Vedic classics, among which Rig Veda is the most important, a collection of poems praising the gods of nature

Not only that

In order to ensure their dominance

Aryans also follow their skin color

Divides the high and low of the race

This is what became very famous

But has been dissed by others

–Caste System

ps. It is said that the four castes were produced by the body parts of the original gods. Different castes cannot marry each other, and various surnames are inherited from one another. Although the system was abolished after India’s independence, its influence is still great.

over time

Vedicism is getting better and better

There are three clear main gods

And the Brahman class who masters sacrifice

The status is getting more and more stable

Hang other people completely

So the Vedicism logically

Become: Brahmanism

ps. In addition to the three main gods, Brahmanism has three principles: Vedic Apocalypse, Sacrifice Almighty, and Brahman Supreme. “Vedic Apocalypse” is the collective term for the four Vedic classics and various explanatory books.

But Brahmin has always monopolized religion

The middle and lower class are unbalanced

Buddhism and Jainism have also come to an end

Attacking them to kill and sacrifice, and the etiquette troubles

Brahman believers realize

Development is the last word

Crazy copying homework

Great reforms in the 8th century

Finally synthesized the big watermelon Hinduism

Unexpectedly, Taiping did not last long

Someone has discovered this feng shui treasure land

That is the Turkic people who are very good at sabotage

They not only suppress the indigenous religions of India

Also brought Islam

This makes Hinduism very unhappy:

Don’t look at whose site this is?

So, launched a “piety movement”

This movement lasts for millennia

Renewing Hinduism

All in all, it’s more close to the people

Finally sent away the Turkic people

The British came to join in the fun again

Under the British colonial rule

Hindus and Muslims fall apart

Muslims simply became independent

That’s how Pakistan came

And under the influence of modernization and nationalism

Hinduism has been updated again

ps. Gandhi founded the National Congress Party and led the national liberation movement in India. Hinduism was also infused with the concept of nationalism

you can say so

History of Hinduism

It is also the history of invasion by foreign nations

In this process

Hinduism has absorbed a lot of religious beliefs

Folk customs, lifestyle

The content of Hinduism is getting richer and richer

Many gods, many canons

Many sects, many myths

It is said that Hinduism has 300 million gods

But as the saying goes, everything is inseparable from its origins

India also has some basic teachings

For example, respect the Veda and respect the Brahman

Pursue “The Brahma I Are One”

Think that the three main gods are in one trinity

Believe in reincarnation, karma…

It’s just that in the eyes of a thousand Hindus

There may be a thousand kinds of “Hinduism”

This is also the charm of Hinduism

Is the epidemic gathering crowds, no one cares?

But then again

Even if Hinduism is so charming

Is the epidemic so serious that no one cares about it?

Actually, the Indian government

It’s just that I didn’t manage

This holiday has been postponed and shortened

The government also requires keeping distance and wearing masks

Also send security personnel and install cameras

But the effect is just–

The crowds are still rushing to the Ganges

Besides, who wears a mask when taking a bath?

In this battle, Modi, who supports the celebration,

Also panicked

Can’t help but appeal

Of course, you can’t account for the out-of-control epidemic

Are counted on the head of the big pot

Previous local elections, other festivals

There have been several rounds of rallies

Moreover, the mutated virus in India

The lethality is too strong

But this time

Everyone is still lazy in epidemic prevention

This led to a complete rebound of the epidemic

This situation

It shocked the two people

One is British Prime Minister Johnson

One is Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga

The two meet by appointment

Plan to visit India

Cancelled, cancelled, closed…

And for the bumpy encounters of Indian friends

Big fish just wanted to say one last thing:

Blessed by Brahma, good health!
