Hinduism describes the nature of the outer and inner realities and instructs on ways to obtain self-knowledge. The formal name of Hinduism is Sanātana Dharma (Eternal or Universal Law) and its oldest text is the Ṛgveda. It also has a huge amount of ancillary literature that covers a wide variety of subjects. Hinduism is also called the Ātma Vidyā (Science of Consciousness). Lived Hinduism is Yoga, in which one of the first steps is the practice of āsanas that has become well-known all over the world. Preceding this practice is ethical and moral preparation that makes one ready to delve into a deeper understanding of the tradition. There are many misconceptions about Hinduism both in academic writing and in the popular press. Some of these misconceptions are so ridiculous that to paraphrase the Roman scholar Cicero only academics and journalists would believe them.

There are a lot of incorrect facts in this, while some of the beliefs are rooted in Mesolithic traditions Hinduism itself is not 10,000 years old, and the Rig Veda was written around 1,500BC not 6500BC - that would make it older than the oldest book known

Hinduism - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

powerpoint presentation on hinduism

Hinduism has within itself all types of religions such as theism, atheism, ... Hinduism was an English invention that bracketed several distinct, mutually ... – PowerPoint PPT presentation

  • What is Hinduism?
  • "There is in fact no system of doctrines, no teacher, or school of teaching, no single god that is accepted by all the Hindus."
  • (S.V. Kelkar, 1967, Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, 6712 )
  • Frankly speaking, it is not possible to say definitely who is a Hindu and what is Hinduism. These questions have been considered again and again by eminent scholars, and so far no satisfactory answer has been given. Hinduism has within itself all types of religions such as theism, atheism, polytheism, Adwitism, Dwaitism, Saivism, Vaishnavism, and so forth. It contains nature worship, ancestor worship, animal worship, idol worship, demon worship, symbol worship, self worship, and the highest god worship. Its conflicting philosophies will confound any ordinary person. From barbarious practices and dark superstitions, up to the most mystic rites and sublime philosophies, there is place for all gradations and varieties in Hinduism.
  • (Swami Dharma Anand Theertha)
  • "Hinduism is not a religion established by a single person. It is a growth of ideas, rituals and beliefs so comprehensive as to include anything between atheism and pantheism.
  • (Thomas, Hindu Religion, Customs and Manners, p. 21)
  • How far should we cast the net in defining Hinduism?
  • Some include
  • Tibetan Tantric Religions
  • There is not a single Hindu doctrine that is not contested by some Hindu religionists.
  • Hindus may be
  • Monotheists
  • Polytheists
  • Hindustan and Hindus Possibly used by 12c Muslim invaders to refer to the people of the Indian subcontinent. Only a geographical term.
  • Portuguese colonists referred to the Hindus as Gentoos meaning gentiles or pagans.
  • The term Hinduism... was introduced in about 1830 by British writers. (Hinduism, Encyclopedia Britannica, 20519)
  • Hinduism used to designate religions that originated in India and followed by the Indians.
  • Hinduism was an English invention that bracketed several distinct, mutually hostile religions into one umbrella. Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma did not exist before the English, but was created by them in order to reward the Brahmins for loyal services during Anglo-Brahmin rule.
  • Long, long ago
  • Far, far away
  • Aryan Conquerors, Race and Hinduism
  • Two Interpretations
  • The Aryan invasion theory
  • The Continuous Vedic civilization theory
  • The Aryan Invasion Theory
  • Northern India was invaded and conquered by nomadic, light-skinned race of a people called aryans who supposedly descended from central Asia (or some unknown land) around 1500 BC, and destroyed an earlier more advanced civilization of people inhabiting the Indus Valley, and then imposed upon them their culture and language. These Indus Valley people were supposed to be dark skinned people of either Dravidian, Austrics or presently Shudra class peoples.
  • Seal from the city of Mohenjo-Daro
  • Origin of Aryan Race Theory
  • Max Muller, a German Indologist,created and popularized the Aryan racial theory mid 19th century. Later challenged by his peers, he changed his view and stated that Aryan meant only a linguistic family and never applied to a race.
  • His chronology was linked to his view that the earth was created at 4004 BC.
  • But the old view stuck and the theory continues to be taught today.
  • In Vedic Literature, the word Arya is nowhere defined in connection with either race or language. It can be translated gentleman, good-natured, righteous person, noble-man, may be used like sir.
  • Circa 1,500 BC An Aryan invasion?
  • Linguistic support North Indian languages are related to European languages (hence Indo-European)
  • Religious similarities with the Middle East (Hittite/Indo-Aryan gods)
  • Changes at this time evidenced in archeology
  • Introduction of cast system and other religious changes
  • Archeological evidence for a war
  • Pre-History Chronology of the Aryan Invasion Theory
  • Aryan Invasion Pre-History Chronology
  • Pre 1500 A highly developed agrarian culture w/ a system of writing.
  • Agricultural and nature worship
  • A mother goddess identified with the cow
  • A horned male god identified with the sacred bull
  • 1500 Aryan invasion
  • 1500-1000 BC Agricultural and nature worship gives way to the Aryan religion and deities.
  • 1500-1000 BC
  • Indra was king of the gods and supreme during the Vedic period
  • Vishnu was a sun god who later became the preserver
  • Agni was a fire god
  • Varuna was a sky god
  • Soma was the god of drink or immortality
  • Rudra was a capricious mountain goat who later became Shiva the destroyer
  • Rituals included animal sacrifices to the gods
  • Society divided into castes (jati) according to the five fold division (varna lit. color)
  • Brahmins Priests and scholars
  • Kshatriyas Warriors and rulers
  • Vaishyas Farmers, Land owners, bankers, merchants
  • Shudras Peasants and laborers
  • Untouchables or Panchamas Perform unclean tasks
  • Proposes the migration went the opposite direction North Indian culture and language went west to Iran and Mesopotamia (2000-1900 BC).
  • India may be the oldest, largest and most central, and most continuous of ancient cultures
  • Archeological evidence for an invasion inconclusive
  • Nowhere in any of the ancient Indian scriptures or epics or Puranas, etc. is there any mention of Aryan migration or invasion or Aryan race.
  • Changes may be explained by indigenous social and cultural shifts, and natural disaster (floods, rivers drying up).
  • Continuous Vedic Pre-History Chronology
  • The Conclusion is
  • There is no certain conclusion.
  • No Aryan race existed
  • Migrations may have been both directions
  • Some foreign lighter skinned race may have entered the Indus civilization and this accounts for certain significant religious and social shifts such as the case system.
  • The continuous Vedic pre-history chronology seems unlikely.
  • How far do we cast the net?
  • For this study we will limit our description to Brahmanism and the religious expression under its umbrella.

OriginsofHinduism • The Big Idea • Hinduism, the largest religion in India today, • developed out of ancient Indian beliefs and practices. • Main Ideas • Indian society was divided into distinct groups under the Aryans. • The Aryans practiced a religion known as Brahmanism. • Hinduism developed out of Brahmanism and influences from other cultures.

Vocabulary HINDUISM: The main religion of India that grew out of the beliefs of the ancient Aryan peoples; it teaches that everything is part of a universal spirit called Brahman.

Vedas:“Books of Knowledge.” These were the ancient books of sacred poems, hymns, myths, and rituals on which much of Hinduism is based. Vocabulary

The Varnas • Aryan society was divided into groups • Groups organized by occupation • Strict rules about how people could interact

The Varnas Kshatriyas: Rulers and Warriors Brahmins: Priests Vaisyas: Farmers, craftspeople and traders Sudras: Workers and servants

Caste System • Individuals • Place in society based on birth, wealth, or occupation • 3,000 castes once existed in India. • Individuals could rarely change castes. • Caste Rules • Sutras (guides) listed all the rules for the caste system. • Breaking rules resulted in a transfer to a lower caste.

Brahmanism • Brahmanism • Aryan priests were called Brahmins. • Vedic Texts • Brahmins wrote thoughts about Vedas called Vedic Texts • Vedic texts describe rituals • Upanishads Evolving Beliefs The Vedas, Upanishads, and other Vedic texts began blending with beliefs from different cultures, creating Hinduism.

Hinduism Beliefs • Universal spirit-Brahman created the universe and everything in it. Everything in the world is part of Brahman. • Every person has a soul or atman that will eventually join with Brahman. • People’s souls are reincarnated many times before they can join with Brahman. • A person’s karma affects how he or she will be reincarnated.

Hindu Beliefs Brahma “The Creator” One god who is everywhere and in everyone and everything. His four faces symbolize the four Vedas.

Hindu Beliefs Siva:(Shiva) Siva isthe destroyer of monster enemies. Siva is dancing on the back of a demon he has defeated.

Hindu Beliefs • Vishnu • Preserver • Symbols of his power and greatness: • Conch shell • mace • discus

Hindu Beliefs Reincarnation

Life and Rebirth • Every person has a soul or atman that will eventually join with Brahman. • People’s souls are reincarnated many times before they can join with Brahman. • Reincarnation: A belief that souls are born and reborn many times, each time into a new body. People move in a constant cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Form of rebirth depends upon your karma.

Hinduism and the Caste System Karma:The effects that good or bad actions have on a person’s soul. What a person does in one life influences the caste that person will be born into in the next life.

Hinduism and the Caste System • Karma • Good actions build good karma and people are born into a higher caste • Evil actions build bad karma and people are born into a lower caste • Moksha • Good karma will bring salvation or freedom from life’s worries and the continual cycle of rebirth • Dharma • Accept your place in the world without complaint • Builds good karma • Preserves the caste system

Hinduism became the starting point for another world religion. Buddhism

Review 1. What are the varnas. Name the 4 varnas. 2. What is the caste system based upon? 3. What happens if you break the rules of your caste? 4. What is Brahmanism? 5. What are the sacred texts of Hinduism? 6. What is Brahman?

The Four Principles • Injure no life • Tell the truth • Do not steal • Own no property

Jains Practice Nonviolence • Everything is part of the cycle of rebirth • No injuring or killing of any creature-humans, insects, animals, plants • Vegetarians

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King adopted Ghandi’s nonviolent methods in his struggle to win civil rights for African Americans.
