Our Way Of Life
Hinduism is the way of life that deeply influences our thinking, behavior and attitude toward oneself and others. Our Dharma or Godly duties becomes interwoven in our lifestyle. Seeking higher knowledge or enlightenment, living peacefully, expressing gratitude, devotion and exercising moral principles are core practices. The very act of living and core practices becomes a form of worship.
