Sylheti-Hindus, belong to the Vaishnava order of Hinduism. Vaishnavism is one of the major traditions within Hinduism, and it centers on the worship of Lord Vishnu, one of the principal deities in the Hindu pantheon. Followers of Vaishnavism, known as Vaishnavas, believe in the supreme importance of devotion (bhakti) towards Lord Vishnu as a means to attain spiritual liberation and salvation.Vaishnavas emphasize various forms of worship, including prayer, meditation, chanting of sacred mantras, and engaging in acts of selfless service (seva). They also embrace the belief in reincarnation and karma, which influence one's future births based on their actions in this life. Key texts like the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavata Purana provide essential philosophical and spiritual teachings that guide Vaishnavas in their quest for spiritual enlightenment.Sylheti-Hindus, as followers of Vaishnavism, adhere to these principles while also incorporating their unique cultural and regional traditions into their religious practices. This syncretic blend of spirituality and heritage reflects the rich diversity within Hinduism and the resilience of religious traditions over time.
