Talk:Hinduism in Malaysia

message: Just wondering if there are any ethnic Malay population still practicing Hinduism (or to some lesser extend, Buddhism)?

thread_title:  Today's Malay Hindus??? 

message: It is stated in the text of this Wiki that "Folk Hinduism is the most prevalent variety, including spiritualism [emphasis mine] and worship of local gods."
This sentence is unclear or inaccurate for several reasons, one of which is dealt with here. The link for Spiritualism takes one to the Wiki on Spiritualism which refers to a belief that is rather different. In this Wiki, the following is stated:
"Hinduism, though an extremely heterogeneous belief system, generally shares a belief with Spiritualism in the separation of the soul from the body at death, and its continued existence. But Hindus differ from Spiritualists in that they typically believe in reincarnation, and typically hold that all features of a person's personality are extinguished at death. Spiritualists, however, maintain that the spirit retains the personality it possessed during its (single) human existence."
This describes an aspect of Hinduism that has some parallel to the separate, Spiritualist's belief, as implied by the article at Spiritualism, but it is not spiritualism itself. 
Secondly, it is stated that this folk Hinduism is the most prevalent 'variety' of Hinduism in Malaysia. Is there evidence to show that this is the most prevalent form (e.g., statistical year book records, etc.)? If no source or evidence can be shown, then it is best to removed this speculation because it is inaccurate.
Could someone correct for these? Thanks. Dingodangodongo 07:07, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
