Atman, is the soul within themselves and that in discovering the soul they would discover their unity with the divine source of all things. The main principle for Hindu’s is to Dharma…

aren’t real and an illusion, then why are we here? Are we here to realize the reality, purify our jivas, or something completely different. Another idea of Hinduism that I think is really interesting is that are all jivas are connected and essentially Brahman. Because of this, traditional Hindus cannot eat meat. This is where I kind of disagree. If we are all connected, why would the creator, Brahma, make us and other animals able to eat meat? Isn’t this our natural tendencies to hunt for meat…

In a world full of various religions, Hinduism and Buddhism are known to share a similar connection, yet carry oddly different roots. Both faiths originated from Asia, particularly in India. Since both originated from the same location, they are quite related due to the fact Buddhism evolved from Hinduism. Unlike most religions, Hinduism worships thousands of gods which come from Atman. Indians believe The Three Deity’s created this magnificent universe. The Three Deity’s consist of Dharma the…

On the surface, every hero seems to have a unique and completely original story. The rise to stardom and difficulties that they experience on the way there seem unprecedented; however, every hero goes through the same stages of a cycle called the monomyth. From literary heroes to political or athletic figures, all heroes follow the same pattern. An important leg of this cycle that isolates the heroes from the failures is the belly of the whale. In this stage the hero separates from their old…

hopes of salvation. For the devotee, “Release from rebirth is important, but not if it means merging with the impersonal Brahman in the manner of the Upanishadic way of knowledge” . Devotion in Hinduism should not be done just for the sake of salvation. Devotion should be done through a deity that the devotee personally connects to and wishes to merge with to achieve union with Brahman. Hindus are in a constant cycle of death and re-birth, known as Moksha, until they are released into eternal…
