barney Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 Hindu Beliefs Hinduism Today, April 1993 On Creation: The universe exists in endless cycles of creation, preservation and destruction. There is no absolute end to the world. On The True God: There is but one true and absolute Self, Supreme Being. God is pure Love. On Paths to God: Man is free to choose his form of worship, for all paths lead ultimately to God. Sin is only of the mind; Soul is pure. On Man's Plight: Man's suffering is but his soul's immaturity. He is on a progressive path which leads from ignorance to knowledge, from death to immortality. On Evil: There is no intrinsic evil. All is good. All is God. On Virtue and Salvation: Virtuous conduct and light belief are the foundation of religious life. Liberation requires knowledge and personal attainment. On Doctrines: Doctrines tend to be subtle, complex and even paradoxical. Freedom to worship and to believe in a variety of ways is predominant. On Enlightenment: The goals of enlightenment and liberation are to be found in this life, within man himself. On Sainthood: The path to saintliness is through self-discipline, purification, concentration, and contemplation. Value is placed on ascetic ideals, individual sadhana, and yoga. On Worship: Worship is individualistic, highly ritualistic and meditative, centering around the temple and home shrine all days of the week. Quote
Pankaja_Dasa Posted May 7, 2004 Report Posted May 7, 2004 One we can all agree on is, we are all souls, each living person has a soul, including birds/beasts/plants etc/ Also next to the soul is supreme soul called paramatma. He goes with you wherever you go. Through different species of life. So that re-incarnation, ultimate goal which is main focus is getting free from bodily encagement, going to a place which is better! The seach begins....haribol! Quote
