Salvation is for all irrespective one is a Hindu or not

Unlike all other religions which state, 

 "only through their particular religion one can attain salvation",

Hinduism states

"Salvation is for all irrespective one is a Hindu or not"

SALVATION in Hinduism is a  very orderly  process.  According to Hindu scriptures, Salvation is for all.  Nobody is denied salvation.  

Even if one does not believe in God, the atheist and agnostic can attain salvation.  One need not be a  Hindu to attain salvation..  Everyone will finally attain salvation whether they believe in God or practice any religion. 

In Hinduism SALVATION is known as SELF-REALIZATION or MOKSHA.  That is the reason why, every one on earth should give more importance to SPIRITUALITY and less importance to religious dogmas.  

Religions are mere paths and not the final goal.  We have to do things that will elevate us spiritually.   There is no thermometer or barometer to measure the spiritual maturity of a person.  

As such,   some times, the rich man  you just met,  who is dazzling in luxury will be more matured spiritually, than the naked Sadhu you met in Benaras.   As such  sometimes the pretty model whom you met in Paris during a fashion show will be more advanced spiritually than the guru you met in Chennai. 

So we cannot judge anyone.   All of us are at  different stages of spiritual maturity.   Whatever  we think, say and do will either elevate or bring us down spiritually.  So we have to watch what we think or say or do.

 What is Hindu salvation ?    Hindu Salvation is known as self-realization.     Hindu salvation is the  process by which  a person is realizing that he/she is indeed the  Atman  [ the  Immortal Soul within] and not the perishable material  body.    Hindu salvation  is the process by which  a person [individual soul]  is merging with the Paramathman [or God]. 

How can one attain salvation?   Hindu scriptures state that people can attain self realization through one of the four methods. Those four methods are:  

 

A. JANANA YOGA; [path of knowledge]?Hindus have 6 philosophies called Darshanas.

B?KARMA YOGA; [path of unattached, unmotivated actions and thoughts]

C?BHAKTI YOGA; [ path of total surrender of one's will to God]

D?RAJA YOGA. [path of breathing and Pranayama'eradication of thoughts]

Most people in the world are Bhakti Yogis.
