Recommended: The importance of religion

Dharma throughout our text is defined as law, duty, righteousness, or “religion”. With any of these terms the main goal is to live in a way that upholds and conforms to social order. Dharma is very important to Hindus because this implies the proper way they should act, worship, and behave within their social castes in order to successfully bring good fortunes in the future and ultimately reach moksha and be liberated from the cycle of samsara. I believe the ritual dimension and dharma are very closely linked. Rituals are the specific actions that people perform in order to experience religion which is exactly what the dharma helps explains and acts as guidance for. Dharma explains the laws that one must follow and by following these laws or

    There are four categories and these are: dharma-loosely defined as religious duty; artha-career and prosperity; kama-pleasure; and moksha-freedom from cycle of samsara (Crawford, 14-15). Dharma in this case in seen as the most important towards achieving moksha, however, without a life of wealth (artha) or pleasure (kama) one will not be able to lead a life of renunciation that leads to Moksha. This highlights the differences between Hinduism and other religions. Several religions, such as Catholicism, preach against aspects such as kama. For example, one of the seven deadly sins in Catholicism is gluttony (Sanders, Web). In contrast, Hinduism preaches that life should be enjoyed and pleasurable experiences, even ones which are sexual in nature, should be sought out.

    In the chapter on Hinduism in Philip Novak’s book The World’s Wisdom the section titled “The Transmigration of the Soul” describes the Hindu concept of reincarnation, the wheel of life, and ultimately becoming one with god. The lines in this passage very concisely describe the Hindu concepts of Brahman, Atman, Samsara, Karma, Maya and Moksha (Molloy).

  • Examples Of Sacrifice In The Upanishads

    1002 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the early text of the Hindu tradition, the Veda, everything evolved around sacrifice. As a means of acquiring something, the elite class would make sacrifices to their gods in order to obtain the things they so desperately needed. An example of this would be the slaughtering of an animal to the gods in exchange for a sufficient rainy season during harvest time. The essence of what it is to be a human being in the Hindu tradition comes from a later text known as the Upanishads. This text did not focus on sacrifice rituals, but instead focused on the quest for knowledge. In the Upanishads the life of the Hindu is a spiritual pursuit that prepares one for the cycle of rebirth known as samsara. Hindus consider the body to be only a place to keep the soul. After watching Professor Anne Monius lecture on Hinduism and reading the book Hinduism A Very Short Introduction by Kim Knott, in the Hindu tradition, to be a “human being” means living one’s life according to a moral tradition which is based on the persons social and religious duty, known as dharma (Knott, 1998).

    Different religions, different ways, and one aim of maintaining religious identity. Hinduism and Judaism, two of the world’s biggest religions, are seemingly completely unalike. With differences such as their views of afterlife, death and birth Hindus believing in rebirth and “oneness” with Brahman, and Jews believing in a world to come, focusing more on God’s image, never really mentioning what happens after death. Yet when you take a closer look into both religions you find some similarities. Both religions’ rituals focus on the same things, they may be celebrated differently but the meaning behind the celebrations and the meaning behind some of their symbols are the same, and their purposes help people maintain their identity and keep the traditions of their cultures strong.
