Practice of Hinduism

into a body, followed by death and then rebirth. The quality of the next life

depends on the soul's Karma-the goodness or badness of their deeds in this

life. Hinduism is about the sort of life one should lead in order to be born

into a better life next time and eventually become free from rebirth altogether

by attaining Moksha (liberation) So when someone dies, their soul is reborn

into a new body (although not necessarily a human body). The cycle is called

Samsara. The process of the soul being reborn into a new body is called

Reincarnation. The ultimate aim of the soul is to be freed from this cycle.

The quality of a life that the soul is born into depends on the previous life.

Whether one is reborn into a better life, a worse life, or even to live as an

animal., depends on Karma, which is the value of a soul's good and bad deeds.

Karma is not the same thing as judgement in Christianity. It

is automatic and impersonal. A good analogy is a moral force of gravity. Hindus

aim to live in a way that will earn them a better life next time around, and

eventually free them from rebirth altogether. Liberation and Moksha The

ultimate aim of all Hindus is for their soul to escape from this cycle of birth

and death and rebirth, and be free from Karma. This liberation is called Moksha

Each time a Hindu soul is born into a better life, it has the opportunity to

improve itself further, and get closer to ultimate liberation. One attains

Moksha when one has "overcome ignorance", and no longer desires anything at

all. This is not a state of knowledge, but a state of being. Paradoxically it

is really a state of not-being, since when the individual soul reaches this

state, it becomes aware that it is nothing more than a part of the ultimate

reality, part of "God", part of Brahman, and loses

its individual identity. Hinduism is about the sort of life one should lead in

order to be born into a better life next time and ultimately achieve

liberation. There are 4 legitimate goals in life (purusharthas): dharma

(appropriate living),artha (the pursuit of material gain by lawful means),kama

(delight of the senses),moksha (release from rebirth). Each Hindu has 4

daily duties: Revere the deitiesRespect ancestorsRespect all beingsHonour all
