Hindu Temple




I had this fantastic opportunity to visit a Hindu Temple in Trinidad.


               One of the most marvelous things that I realized when I was visiting the Hindu Temple was the fact that we have different religious, cultures and races around the world. I couldn't imagine how dull the world would be without these differences. Though you have your own religion and your own thoughts, we need to give value about our differences between each other and respect them. Yesterday, I learned exactly that. 


                During my discovery at this Temple, I had met a kind man who explained something about the Hinduism, like: what those images were representing, what we need to do to follow the Hinduism, about the particular power of each gods, and what will happen with us after the death. 

            Nowadays I am not following any religion, I believe in God; however I don’t think that I will be a good person if I follow a specific religion. The Temple’s architecture is fantastic. My first impression about this structure was that it had been built 200 years ago. But to my surprise the Temple is only nine years old! Can you imagine that? They are really detailer and they preserve their architecture. 
        
       Do you know that people who follow the Hinduism are cremated after die? The elder told me about the importance in this ritual, he said “you need to give back all that you borrowed from the earth, if you are a good person and had been following god’s order, you will reincarnate on a new body, if not you will reincarnate on inferior kind of nature, like a dog”. I hope I am being a good guy, sometimes I bark like a dog, but being a dog would be terrible.
