If you have not studied other religions, it only exposes your lack of knowledge.

Is this all about pride in something the bible never commanded?

It so happens I know a fair amount about Hindu beliefs and still don’t think this is helpful, mainly because it’s wrong. I respect the people (and frankly a lot of them are more spiritual than Christians, which should make Christians blush). I reject the specific beliefs.

I wish to apologize to you for my earlier comment. Late last night, it occurred to me that you might acually be a Hindu rather than someone making a smart remark. So, I could see how my statement may have offended you.

Assuming your goal is salvation and not being thrown into Sheol or the Lake of Fire, assuming that Hell exists (and I believe it does, because we are not in charge, and God has been good enough to preserve our Judeo-Christian understanding of salvation/damnation through wars and strife over 5,000 years), let me point out that if salvation were a distant city, you could take a bus, you could take a train, or you could take a plane. But you can't take a bus, a train and a plane all at the same time. It is not enough to study a religion; one must live it with commitment even to begin to understand it.
