  1. “WITH MIND ABSORBED AND HEART MELTED IN LOVE.”

  2. Hinduism • Complex variety of religious paths in Hinduism- “Family of Faiths” • Hinduism has not taken root outside its state of origin like Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

  3. All that honor Vedas • Grouped under term Hinduism • Hinduism is an invaders term • Indigenous term- Sanatana Dharma

  4. Sanatana Dharma • Sanatana- eternal, ageless • Dharma- support, religion • Meaning in life encompasses matters of duty, natural law, social welfare, ethics and direction of all activities in life toward transcendental realization- “Every Part of Life”

  5. Spiritual expressions • Extreme Asceticism  Extreme Sensuality • Heights of personal devotion to deity  heights of abstract philosophy • Metaphysical oneness behind the material world  worship of images representing multiple deities • Doctrines are not a focus for Hindus

  6. Myriads of Paths • Hard to trace chronologically all existing paths • Truth is one, sages call it by various names. -Rig Veda • Life is transitory and world illusory • Human accomplishment is not important, life of the soul is important.
