Hinduism
Hinduism is very different from other religions such as Christianity and other Western religions. What I mean by that is Christianity and other Western religions have a single founder, a specific theological system, a single system of morality, or a central religious organizing. It consists of thousands of different relgious groups that have evolved in India since 1500 BC. I think that it is interesting that a religion can just be based on other religions and ways of others think and feel. Hinduism has grown to beocme the world’s third largest religion, of course after Christianity and Islam. There are really many followers that believe in Hinduism, 13 % of the world’s population to be exact. India, Nepal and among the Tamils in Sir Lanka are where Hinduism is more dominant. The United States has little over 1 million Hindus and about 160,000 in Canada. That impressed me, I was not aware that there were so many followers to this particular religion that lived in the United St! Let us get into some of the beliefs that are in Hinduism. Hinduism has been viewed in the west as a religion that one which worships multiple gods and goddessed. Some have viewed it as the panethesie principle of Braham, that all reality is a
In the religion of Hinduism, they believe in repetitious Transmigration of the soul. What this means to me is the transfer of one’s soul after death into another body which is born; this sounds somewhat what we call rebirth. This ensures that one will die and be rebirth over and over, a continuing cycle or birth, life and death and rebirth though they are many lifetimes. How interesting is that, what one could not accomplish in one lifetime he or she can be born again and finish, This would ultimately change the world, if this happens to someone that may have the cure for cancer or something, and that person has not completed the mission, they have almost eternity to do so. I guess that this does not happen or we just do not know that we have that power and are capable of doing such things or we would be a perfect world. This Transmigration of the soul is often called Samsara. Karma is the accumulated sum of the ones good and bad deeds. Karma determines how you will live your next life. Therefore, if you are almost at the point where you can find a cure to an incurable disease, you may be rebirth and if you are an evil person, you most likely will not be rebirth. Through pure acts, thought and devotion one can be reborn at a higher level. Eventually one can escape sams
