Normie Hinduism is a humiliation ritual.
That is why I am glad that my grandparents opted for Arya Samaj. I have never had to go to an unhygienic, unwashed temple, and never had to worship a lump of wood or stone. I am above all this retarded bullshit.
The main issue with Hinduism is idolatry. It deifies the mundane, and people start associating healing and spiritual properties with literal shit.
Ex: It is okay to throw garbage in Ganga because it will purify itself, cow dung is spiritually cleansing as Laxmi resides in it, etc.
Anyways, Brahmins are to be blamed for this nignoggery. They had the privilege of being the scholar caste, and they propagated this nonsense instead of focusing on the advancement of our civilization.
I remember a batchmate in school who used to kang about being a baman. One day, I asked him that if his intelligence was god-gifted, then why I always scored the highest in class despite being a jaat. He had no response and started seething.

Is that the best that you can come up with?
I refuse to lower my own human dignity by engaging with literal fecal matter, or even justify that act.

Could you tell me more about Arya samaj? What is it exactly. I agree with your criticisms of mainstream Hinduism and am working on creating a new sect/religion.

1. Subscribing to only the Vedas and rejecting the Purans. Mahabharata and Ramayan are considered narrative works giving lessons about human values instead of being seen as historically accurate.
2. Monotheistic, as in believing in one supreme power and describing it using the syllable "Aum".
3. All that is known by knowledge is considered divine, and the propagation of truth is considered the greatest duty of mankind.
4. All acts should be done in accordance to dharma, and the primary objective is to positively contribute to the world.
5. Idol worship is prohibited, and the mode of worship is via havans aka ritual fires.
6. We just celebrate Diwali and Holi, but just offer our prayers instead of taking part in the general celebrations.
I used to live in Jor Bagh earlier, where there was an Arya Samaji temple. I used to volunteer there to organize morning prayer meetings on the weekends for the elderly.
It is fairly low effort, and you are free to study and interpret the Vedas as you wish. You do not need to keep constant fasts or subscribe to any kind of superstitions. We do not have any caste restrictions either.
