What are the daily practices of a Hindu?

Answer 1

Hindu is one of the largest and oldest continuously practiced religions in the world. Largely practiced on the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia, the day-to-day lives of a Hindu are virtually indistinguishable from those of other religions.

Answer 2

• Worship God (Deva Yag�a) in the form of a family deity (Ishta Devat�) in the home shrine through prayers and meditations. This practice helps one to become God-conscious in all daily activities. Additionally, this practice arouses a sense of togetherness in the family, since the family members worship together and participate in the rituals, chants, singing, and study of scriptures. Tradition says that "a family that prays together stays together."
• Study Vedas and other scriptures (Brahma Yag�a). This practice refreshes one's mind with sacred knowledge and also helps to preserve and enrich such knowledge.
• Contemplate on the teachings of the sages, saints, holy men and women, and one's forefathers (Pitri Yag�a). This practice is intended to serve as a reminder to preserve, enrich and continue one's cultural heritage and family values.
• Provide food for those who are in need (Bhuta Yag�a). This practice is intended to create the spirit of sharing with others.
• Serve guests with love, respect, and reverence (Nara Yag�a). This practice is the basis for the traditional hospitality of Hindu households.

These are the minimal practices which guide a person in everyday life and ensure peace, material and spiritual prosperity.
