Hussain Khan so what if draupadi had 5 husbands? what's wrong in that ? ur mohammad had 4 wives i think. diversity is the beauty of hinduism. u can live ur life in many ways n still be a hindu. u don't need to go to temple everyday or even in a year and still remain a hindu. u can believe in many gods or one god or no god, u can sacrifice animals or practise ahimsa, u may pray or choose no to pray, u may stay off all substances including alcohol or u can take gaanja as prasad of god, u can sing devotional songs of the gods u worship or u can sing pop bhajans. the best thing about hinduism is it is eclectic, there are many schools of thoughts and u can choose any among them, u don't need to pray 5 times a day, and u can express any kind of dissatisfaction about ur religion freely without fearing any kind of fear / fatwahs. after writing 18 'puranas' and 'mahabharata' Vyasa has just written 2 sentences in conclusion, which are the essence of hinduism - " Astaadasha puraaneshu Vyasasya vachanam dwayam, paropakaara punyaya, papaaya parapeedanam' means i have written so many things in these 18 puranas, but the conclusion of all the religious texts i've written is just that ' doing good to others is punya/ dharma and torturing or giving pain to others is paap/ sin'. This is the basic essence of hinduism.
