[Extracts from Bhagavan Baba's Discourses]

Hinduism is the oldest religion in the

world. The three cardinal principles of Hinduism are: 1) Belief in a series

of births. 2) Belief in Avatars

of the Lord for the reestablishment of Dharma

and the transformation of those who have strayed from it. 3)Belief in Karma, the fact of every activity having

its inevitable consequences and of human destiny being shaped by cumulative

effect of all these consequences. Karma

is the cause of births, the Jivi

being compelled to undergo another ordeal for clearing its accounts and

becoming free of both debit and credit.

The life aim of Hindus is to reach

fulfillment through constant spiritual discipline, the fulfillment that comes

from the awareness of one's Divinity. Merging with the Divine is the

attainment of fullness. The Vedas

are the soul that sustains the spiritual life of Hindus. They are the breath

that that keeps the people alive. The Vedas

emanated from God Himself. The great sages received the Vedas as a series of sounds and spread

it over the world by word of mouth from preceptor to the pupil. One can know

from the Vedas the code of

right activity and the body of right knowledge. The Vedas teach man his duties from birth to

death. They describe his rights and duties, obligations and responsibilities

in all stages of life. In order to explain the Vedas in simpler terms, the Puranas (scriptures) and epic texts appeared in course of

time. Two such great epics are the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Another great

spiritual text of Hinduism is the Bhagavat Geetha, which helps people to

control the agitation of the mind, destroy the delusion, develop true

knowledge and make one catch a glimpse of the glory of the Lord.

The word Hindu means those who keep away

from the path of violence, away from inflicting injury on others. The essence

of all the scriptural texts of Hinduism can be described in one sentence as

" Help Ever, Hurt Never " .

Aum,

which is a primary symbol of Hinduism, is the symbol of unchanging eternal,

universal supreme God. Aum, is

the primordial word, which gives life to all the other words. Aum is the origin of creation. It

contains the essence of all the Vedas

and is the source of all the scriptures.
