While growing up we often heard our elders say 'Hinduism, more than a religion, is a way of life'.
Always wondered whether there is a particular way in which Hindus were expected to conduct their lives? If yes, what is this particular 'way of life'?
I ask this becoz the standard answer most children get from their parents is 'Respect your elders and teachers, be kind to others, respect all faiths etc. But always wondred whether this way of life is in fact described in detail in either our puranas and/or upanishads? If it is, could someone please explain what exactly is this particular 'way of life'?
