AMRUT VACHAN

The greatest human ideal is the great cause of bringing together the thoughts of

Europe and Asia; the great soul of India will topple our world.

RomainRolland

Vedanta teaches that consciousness is singular, all happenings are played out in

one universal consciousness and there is no multiplicity of selves.

ErwinSchrdinger

In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of sectarianism. It is of all

ages, climes and nationalities and is the royal road for the attainment of the

Great Knowledge.

HenryDavid Thoreau

will looking at the basicsWho is Hindu? What is Hinduism? Look at

definitions of Hinduism, and some concepts that are common to people calling

themselves as Hindus. In the second quarter, we will look into some details of

scripture, maha vakyas, and comparison with western religions. Purpose of the

material provided here is a guideline for bauddhik and discussion in the shakha,

Hindu Dharma OverviewHinduUsed by Persians, denoted geography

and community of people living in that areaReligionUnified set of beliefs and practices relative to sacred thingsleading to social bond amongst people -- Sociologist Emile Durkheim

Slide 3

Most important aspect of defining it as a religion is that , itsadherents enjoy rights and protections provided by variousgovernments across the world.This kind of protection is not available for way of life

ImplicationsMarriages for example are recognized on basis of religious tenets will not recognize Hindumarriages unless Hindu is recognized as religion (happened in Trinidad, there was no optionfor civil marriage)Construction of religious places such temples would be restricted without such protectionsAny special protections that is available under law for other religions would be denied if itdefined as way of lifeAny interfaith programs are open to any group that identifies as religious group, Hindusmight not be invited if it is defined as way of life

Discuss : What would be best option to identify ourselves ? Sanatana dharma, vedicreligion, Hinduism. Are there any other benefits of defining Hinduism as religion ? , Shouldit be religion and more ?

Slide 4

What is Hinduism ?

Depends on who you askHinduism is not just a faith. It is the union of reason and intuition that cannot bedefined, but is only to be experienced. - Sarvapalli RadhakrishnanHinduism is a collective term applied to the many philosophical and religioustraditions native to IndiaAn unstable mixture of the primitive and the sophisticated - Troy Wilson Organ,Distinguished Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at Ohio

Hinduism as a faith is vague, amorphous, many sided, all things to all men. It ishardly possible to define it, or indeed to say definitely whether it is a religion ornot, in the usual sense of the word, in its present form, and even in the past, it

embraces many beliefs and practices, from the highest to the lowest, often opposedto or contradicting each other.Jawaharlal Nehru in Discovery of IndiaSome Hindus argue that what others call Hinduism is actually Sanatana Dharma,

Vedic Religion

Slide 5

What is Hinduism

Depends on who you ask contdIf I were asked to define the Hindu creed, I should simply say: Search aftertruth through non-violent means. A man may not believe in God and still callhimself a Hindu. Hinduism is a relentless pursuit after truth Hinduism is the

religion of truth. Truth is God. Denial of God we have known. Denial of truth wehave not known.

Mahatma Gandhi

Most of the efforts to define Hinduism either by Hindus or others have used westernframe workFounder, Book, fixed beliefs and practices. As we will see it is verydifficult to put a framework that can get even two Hindus agree to it

DISCUSS: Highlighted words in the previous definitions.

We will look into couple of different attempts to define Hinduism

What Makes One a Hindu?Those who follow the way of life (Belief and practices) that originated

in the land of Indus are Hindus.

In the Mahbhrata the great King Yudhishthira was asked, Whatmakes a brahminbirth, learning or conduct? He replied,It is conduct that makes a brahmin. Similarly, the modernHindu may well state that it is conduct, based upon deep,practical understanding of dharma, karma and reincarnation,

that makes a Hindu.

Efforts to Define Hinduism

Nine belief of Hindus (Hinduism Today)1. Hindus believe in the divinity of the Vedas, the worlds most ancient scripture.2. Hindus believe in a one, all-pervasive Supreme Being.3. Hindus believe that the universe undergoes endless cycles of creation,preservation and dissolution.4. Hindus believe in karma, the law of cause and effect 5. Hindus believe that the soul reincarnates, evolving through many births untilmoksha,is attained. Not a single soul will be eternally deprived of this destiny.6. Hindus believe that divine beings exist in unseen worlds and that temple worship,rituals and sacraments as well as personal devotionals create a communion with these devas and Gods.

7. Hindus believe that a spiritually awakened master, or satguru, is essential to know theTranscendent Absolute8. Hindus believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered , and therefore practiceAHIMSA, noninjury.

9. Hindus believe that no particular religion teaches the only way to salvation above allothers.

Compare this with the definition of Supreme court and discuss in the group
