What do Hindu's do everyday?
Well I imagine that we breathe, wake up, pray before eating food, go to work or whatever it is we do to sustain the body and mind, think a few thoughts here and there, drink a glass of water or two, talk to some people, practice yoga, go to sleep?
Be a little more specific chikiting!

If you are a hindu , you go through four stages in your life.
1)Childhood.
2) Brahmacharya: Young adult who maintains celibacy before marriage, and concentrates on studies/plans for future.
3) Varnashrama: Married life with wife and kids.
4) Sannyasa: As your youth fades and you go into old age, you plan to find enlightenment by renouncing everything (renouncing them mentally usually now a days).

This is based on the principles of Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha.

In order to lead a good life, one needs to follow Dharma (Hindu duties) , Artha : Gain wealth in one's life. Kama: Fulfill his duty as a human being and beget children. Moksha : Gain enlightenment at the end of his life.


Some good hindu principles are:

Ahimsa: Nonviolent attitude toward animals, reverence to life. (some follow vegetarianism for this reason).

Satya: Truthfulness

Asteya: Non stealing/honesty

Brahmacharya: Practicing divine conduct by controlling lust.

Kshama: Patience.

Dhriti: steadfastness.

Daya: compassion toward all beings.

Arjava: honesty in livelihood.

Mitahara: Moderation in enjoyment of food, entertainment etc.

Saucha: Purity of Heart, mind and action.

There are some good practices as a hindu:

and there are certain observances

I like this site, it serves as a good introduction for what it means to be a hindu lol, even though its for kids.
