As I indicated before, I do not wish to tread into a fight of religious beliefs and controversies. If someone wants to believe in something that I do not consider as Hindu, I have no qualms. However I would continue to say in what I believe despite being judged for my belief.

A Hindu's family values consist in the inclusiveness of pithrus and devas with whom we are related. In fact we ourselves have been the pithrus and the devas in prior births and would be so in later births. Our samskaaras are embedded in these family values and vice versa. A person not following the karmas do not repudiate our value system, only that he has stayed away from it. There is no guarantee that he would stay away for ever. Athiest Kannadasan became an ardent Hindu Vedanti. He even translated Bhagavat Geetha!

There is no comparison of the Hindus with the followers of the western religions for we have different family value system. We believe in reincarnation and they don't. The concept the soul, the God, the world, the family and everything hinges on this.
