I am a christian because of ...

I am a christian because of the churches with high vaults, because of the rays of light entering throught the windows, because of the vitrals with magnificent colours, because of the great lyrical songs, because of the stories full of faith and bravery, because of the big family meals, because of the parties where the whole family gathers, because of Christmas and its thousands of gifts, because of the manger with magnificent figurines.

I am Hindu

I am Hindu because my parents are Hindu. I believe in Hinduism. Hinduism is politheist religion because there are many gods like Krishna, Ganesh, Bhrahma, Shiva, Vishnu,... I pray all hindu gods. I celebrate many festivals like Deepavali, Ganesh Chaturti, Holi, Pongal,... On Deepavali I burn crackers, on Pongal,we put kolam and we prepare pongal. I am not very religious but i often go to temple and wear traditional clothes. In Hinduism, all the ideas of people for or against god are welcomed.

My name is Ismaïl and I am a Muslim.


Hi there! I am going to talk about religion. I am not going to complicate things like Pi Patel because I only chose one path: Islam. I am not sure if words would be enough to explain why I chose this path, but I am doing my best. I am a muslim because, I was born like that, I grew like that and I live like that. This path was shown by my parents, I decided to go by that way because I thought it was the best for me. I am a muslim because I believe in God, he is unique, special, because I pray five times a day, because I fast during the month of Ramadan, because I give charity to the poor, because I did a pilgrimage to Mecca, and the list goes on, but people have to remember that religions aren't based on rules, religion means devotion, respect, love towards God, you have to feel it, you should not follow what someone told you, you are free to choose your path and this is the first thing that I learned from Islam and it is one of the main reasons why I am proud to be a Muslim. It is not just because I do so many things that I am a muslim, it is because deep inside me I want to be like that.

Hinduism

Hi friends !
I am going to tell you why I am a HINDU.
I am a Hindu because my parents, my grand-parents, and my ancestors are Hindu, because I decided to be a Hindu. I am an Hindu because I often go the temple, because I wear Viboudhi and Kungumam, because I do poojas, because I believe in Indian Mythology and in Hindu gods, because I celebrate with my family many Hindu festivals like Pongal, Diwali, Vinayagar Chaturthi, Karthigai Deepam, Hanuman Jayanthi. I am a Hindu because I eat in banana leaves, because I decorate cows and eat pongal (rice) during Pongal, because I light firecrackers and fireworks during Diwali, because I fast during the sacred days like Pournami, Amavasai, Pradosham and every Friday. During some periods, My family and I go to religious places and big and important temples.

I am a hindu because...

I am a Hindu because I am part of a Hindu family and I live in a country where Hindu remains.

I am a Hindu because of bangles in different colours, because of red and brown mehandies we put in our hands during festivals, because of traditional wears like sarees and half sarees made of silk, because of temples built very long ago during the period of the cholas, the pandvas and the gowravas, because of the hindu gods like Shiva, Muruga, Ganesha, Brahma, Vishnu and Goddesses like Durga, Shakti, Parvati etc... I am a Hindu because of that delicious Pongal and sugarcanes, because of the colourful Holi, because of the lighten Kaartigai Deepam and because of the sparkling Deewali.

Hi friends,

Nice to meet you after holidays. You know well that I'm Hindu, but you don't know why, I will tell it here why I AM HINDU?

Well! I'm a Hindu because when I was eleven days old, my parents did a festival named "Namakaranam" to name me for the first time. I'm a Hindu because my parents are, my ancestors were Hindus. I'm a Hindu because I go to temple, I wear Viboudhi, sacred ash. I'm a Hindu because I love Indian mythology which is related to Hinduism. I'm a Hindu because my God, Lord Rama, Sri Ramachandramoorthy, is Hindu. I'm a Hindu because I celebrate Pongal, Vinayagar Chaturthy, Rama Navami, Diwali, Hanumath Jayanthi,... I'm Hindu because I live in India, and Hinduism is the original religion of India, Bharat. I'm Hindu because I like Siddhas, sages who invented medicines, who were related to Hinduism unfortunately by the people. I'm a Hindu because I like the traditional, the culture of Hinduism.

P.S: sorry, I wanted to post a photo of me with a traditional suit, but unfortunately, I couldn't because of some technical and political issues!

I'M A HINDU BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A HINDU!
