>>14467180
The Bhagavad Gita, short and easy read that will only deepen with understanding.

Start with Shankaracharya (pbuh), make sure to read a book on Hindu philosophy first or you might be a little lost

Appreciate the links, will have to print them into paper or something i detest reading from my phone haha.

if you are white or non poo look into Sanatana Dharma. Hinduism is very poo centric. Sanatana Dharma is the essence applicable for all.

>>14467650
Can you expand on that at all?

Am I just not able to understand it cus of the cultural divide? Or is it just that "whites" are lesser in those specific disciplines? Or whatever you call them. Apologies.

>>14467180
It's difficult to recommend scriptures or even a general book because there are so many different sects and local traditions. These are some books I've found helpful that cover a few different perspectives:

The Spiritual Heritage Of India (1963) by Swami Prabhavananda
—Bias: Advaita Vedanta (monist philosophy)

An Introduction To Hinduism (1996) by Gavin Flood
—Bias: secular academic

What Is Hinduism? (2007) Editors of Hinduism Today
—Bias: Shaiva Siddhanta (south Indian Shiva worshippers)

This might be my fav answer because its exactly what I needed.

Thank you.

Hinduism proper is for actual Indians in India. It entails practices that would be impossible for Westerners to follow. Sanatana Dharma is the real untouched legacy that can be practiced by all. Check out Dharma Nation on YT. Pic related. He is b and rp.

All whites into Eastern shit come off as touristic larpers trying the new flavour in their empy lives.

>>14468054
unironically this^

>>14467738
the disciplines were made by whites, hinduism is aryan religion

You start by throwing hindu texts into the garbage. Then continue by going to the nearest Catholic church and making a confession and requesting absolution from the holy father, getting baptised, then you end with being comfirmed by your diocesan Bishop in a ceremony where he annoints your forehead with oil.

>>14468377
Sure.

Ayoyoyo!

>>14467792
sometimes it sticks though like 1 in a 1000. Then they come out looking more natural than before.

sanatana dharma is basically a term that means 'primordial dharma' or everlasting dharma. It is a syncretic term used for all branches of indian idealism (hinduism, jainism, buddhism) to get away from word 'hindu' which is imparted by outsiders and is usually very ambiguous

>>14468204
>he doesn’t know about the hyperborean atlantean aryans
>doesn’t know that he’s about to see that his whole worldview was retroactively refuted by the proto-Sumerian scriptural echoes of a Neanderthalic prennial ur-tradition

Heh. Nothing personal kid.

>You start by throwing hindu texts into the garbage. Then continue by going to the nearest Catholic church and making a confession and requesting absolution from the holy father
nah im good. if i wanted a heretical clown mass i would just become protestant. they have better music and cuter grills.

>>14468651
But where is the proof anon, i need texts, documentss! Books!

Wololo

>>14468672
I have never seen a ‘clown mass’ anywhere, at any time in my life, ever. And i’m sure 99% of the billion+ Catholics in the world can say the same thing. Your response is disingenuous.

Return to tradition. If you want to continue to be Christians, you know there's only one way.

>>14468805

>>14467180
You start with Buddhism instead.

>>14467792
Buddhism originates with the ancient Aryan volk and the blue eyed Buddha (specifically described so) setting the nords upon the true path.

>>14468385
Fuck off with your dead Jew religion. Shlomo the crucified isn't coming back.

>>14467650

Hinduism isn't a religion. It's like saying the Greeks had a religion.

>>14471709
>It's like saying the Greeks had a religion.
the greeks did have a religion so . . .

>>14471716
It wasn't a religion where you worshipped anything. You just gave sacrifices to gods and that was it.

>It wasn't a religion where you worshipped anything. You just gave sacrifices to gods and that was it.
