Abstract

This paper is an attempt to focus on some illustrious teachings of Hinduism that flow in the minds of the Hindus through generations and enlighten them to find fruitful meaning of life. Slokas of religious strictures, books and historical evidences are used to illustrate the messages. Real life examples are also given. In modern times, when the human society is segmented into conflicting religious groups, castes, creeds and sects that adversely affect the prosperity of mankind, when many countries are suffering from terrorism and extremism, the divine teachings of Hinduism widely practiced by majority Indians in daily life uphold the vision of one world-where every human being is celebrated, every beliefs and thoughts are accepted and considered to be true. These teachings enable the problem-stricken world to find peace and tranquillity amongst the civilised people.
