  3. Objectives Students will be able to… 28. Explain the impact of Aryan migration into India. 29. Describe the major beliefs and traditions of Hinduism.

  4. India Geography • Isolated • Peninsula • Sub-continent • Himalaya • Hindu-Kush • But, mountain passes allow migration

  5. Aryan Migrations • Aryan nomadic groups • Come from north of the Black Sea • Move into parts of Asia and Europe • Settle in India among the agricultural people already there

  6. Aryan Culture • Aryans brought elements of their culture to India • Gods • Sacred writings: theVedas and Upanishads • Religious rituals • Social class structure (Wuzzles game) • Imposed their beliefs on the natives

  7. The Caste System • The rigid social class structure in India, a part of Hindu beliefs • Caste determines your social status, job, friends, spouse • Cannot change caste in your lifetime • Move up if you lead a good life and follow the rules

  8. The Caste System

  9. The Brahman • Hindu spiritual goal is to reunite their individual soul with Brahman, the “World Soul” • The world, all individuals and individual souls, and all gods derive from the Brahman

  10. Hindu Gods • All gods are “manifestations” of the Brahman • Manifestation: appearance in bodily form • Hundreds or thousands of “gods” • VERY open religion – can worship many different things and be a Hindu • Is it polytheistic or monotheistic?

  11. Hindu Gods • Common Hindu Gods • Brahma, the creator • Vishnu, the preserver • Shiva, the destroyer

  12. Freeing the Soul • To reunite your atman with the Brahman, you must achieve perfect understanding: moksha • This takes more than one lifetime! Reincarnation (or rebirth in a new body) occurs after the cycle of life, samsara, is complete • Reaching moksha ends reincarnation

  13. Reincarnation • Your position in the next life is determined by karma, the sum of your good and bad deeds and how well you performed your dharma, or the duty of your role in life • Dharma is associated with your caste, and karma determines what caste you return to – a very serious punishment or reward

  14. Reasonable Question • Why did so many people agree to a religious, cultural, and social system that made their lives miserable with no hope of improvement?

  15. Mr. Poth’s Rule of World History #5 They’re called gods for a reason

  16. Summarize!
