Hinduism is a crazy religion that is hard to wrap your mind around. The idea of the goddess Maya, really messes with my mind. If we aren’t real and an illusion, then why are we here? Are we here to realize the reality, purify our jivas, or something completely different. Another idea of Hinduism that I think is really interesting is that are all jivas are connected and essentially Brahman. Because of this, traditional Hindus cannot eat meat. This is where I kind of disagree. If we are all connected, why would the creator, Brahma, make us and other animals able to eat meat? Isn’t this our natural tendencies to hunt for meat and survive? I understand that because we are human we should know right from wrong, but the scientist in me disagrees.
