In these three Hindu tales, I noticed that they were less about the creation of the world and more about the gods and where they came from. For example, in “How Ganesh got his Elephant’s Head” and “Hanuman, the Greatest” the stories were mainly about the activities the gods did and how they became the way they are now. In “Hanuman, the Greatest”, the monkey god, Hanuman meets the two sons of King Desaratha and finds out that one of the sons (Prince Rama) cannot find his wife, Sita. Hanuman asks…

together in the same commune. Krishna had sent most of the parents to Alaska to start a second Fountain of the World. In the eyes of the Fountain members being away from their children was not a problem. Children were in the nursery and dorms. The authorities were not on the same page as members and were ordered to unite parents and children, As a result, the California location lost most of the children. After the explosion, there was a shift in leadership. Krishna Venta had the Fountain…

In Miller’s, Bhagavad Gita, Krishna shows that any action performed must be without the mindset of having an attachment or want in order to be able to see the fruits. The Bhagavad-Gita shows its audience that they should ignore the end fruits and just carry on with their endeavors with disregard to the end result. In contrast to the Gita, the Tao Te Ching represents a teaching of inaction to reach one’s ultimate form of a complete state of mind. The Bhagavad-Gita is able to provide insight into…

The painting of the Sacrifice of Isaac by Juan de Valdes Leal represents a major theme prevalent in the Holy Bible, Antigone, and The Bhagavad-Gita. Sacrifice is the act of giving something up whether it be a person or thing, for a certain reason. In these three books as well as in the painting, sacrifice is used to show strength and emotion, but through different methods. In the Holy Bible, an example of sacrifice is when, “He (Abraham) bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the later, on top of…

however they both agree that the path to achieving this ultimate reality is difficult. On page 11 of the Gospel According to Mark, Jesus describes someone maiming themselves in order to fight the temptations of sin. In the text from the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna reminds Arjuna that fulfilling one’s dharma is not easy or enjoyable. Both of the texts recognize the difficulty a soul may have on the path to righteousness. It is best to fulfill a person’s religious duty, although…

soul has a life after death. By our actions, we are either taken out of the cycle of rebirth or are thrown back in it. In Buddhism there is no after life. Hinduism believes in self and Buddhism believes in no self. Throughout the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna tells Arjuna that only a certain type of soul can reach moshka. In Buddhism, anyone can enter Nirvana, no matter how lowly they are. Buddhism has no gods and Hinduism has over 30 million. Even though there lies differences, it does not mean…

In both Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech and “The Guest” by Uma Krishna swami share a similar theme.
