Hinduism
may at first appear to be a complicated philosophical system
for an inquirer,
but if we venture deeper into this noble pursuit, we discover
its simplicity and wonder. We become pleasantly enraptured by
the Veda's heart-warning teachings of simple living and high
thinking.
Bhaktivinode
Thakur, one of the most prominent teachers of the turn of
the century, wrote in his work entitled. Bhagavata: "The
Bhagavata teaches us the relationship between man and God, and
we must all attain this knowledge. This sublime truth is the
point where the materialist and the idealist must meet like brothers
of the same school and this is the point to which all philosophy
tends."
The
Hindu world-view embraces tolerance, empathy, non-violence,
devotion and spiritual upliftment. Just as a person's relatives
and friends know him according to his different characteristics,
Hinduism relates to God in a similar manner, as people with
different feelings address Him and approach Him in different
ways. This
multifaceted relationship is natural since we all love our
parents and siblings, classmates and teachers, spouses and
children in
different ways. And they all address us in different ways
as well. So not only do different faiths worship God differently,
but within Hinduism itself. God is worshipped in different
forms such as Krishna, Rama, etc.
Nandafalva
was formed in 1979. In the beginning, the community practiced
spiritual life in the original homestead, with
one of the rooms serving as a temple. Today that house
functions as a yoga monastery. Following thechange in regime
in Hungary,
more families moved to the Hungarian Plains farmland to
find a spiritual oasis. The new temple, which combines traditional
Hindu and Hungarian elements, was built in 2000.
The
community conducts its activities under the auspices of the
Hindu
Vaishnava
Church and the Hungarian Vaishnava Hindu Association.
Religious, cultural and educational programs are organized
on a regular
basis in various public cultural and educational institutions.
