Transcript
Devas are aspects of Brahman that help maintain order in nature Brahma – the creator (has 4 heads representing the 4 Vedas) Vishnu – the preserver Siva – the destroyer Ganesha – lord of wisdom Lakshmi – granter of wealth The universe and everything in it are in a continuous cycle of birth, death, and rebirth Upon death, the atman is released from the body and reborn in another – this is a process called reincarnation A person’s new life is shaped by his or her karma - the sum effects of his or her deeds during the previous life The ultimate goal is moksha, where the soul escapes the cycle of rebirth and unites fully with Brahman People can only achieve moksha when they fulfill their dharma – their spiritual duties and obligations Fulfilling your dharma creates good karma and helps you get closer to moksha Hinduism varies widely from region to region and from person to person Worship can take place anywhere Hindus meditate – reflect silently upon the world and its nature Yoga is used to teach people how to focus their bodies and minds – it aids meditation and helps them attain moksha
