  1. Hinduism By: Wm. G.

  2. Hinduism Origination • Hinduism originated in Northern India, near the Indus River and is the worlds oldest religion still practiced today • Hinduism was started by no one it originated from the religion Brahmanism

  3. Influences by People and Gods • The most influential spirit is the Brahman who is the only God, which can take many states • It is said in Hinduism that everybody has a part of Brahman in them called Atman • No people influence Hinduism because it was adapted from another religion

  4. Basic Believes • Hinduism believe in reincarnation or that everyone lives many lives • Hindus believe that re-births are based on Karma • Karma is the cause of are particular destiny

  5. Castes • Hindu castes are divided into twice born which include Brahman priests and Warriors, Farmers, Merchants, etc. • There is also Varna which include laborers • Finally there is Outcastes also know as the Untouchables

  6. Enlightenment and Reincarnation • Hindus believe that everybody lives in one body after the next and so on • The goal in Hinduism is to become one with Brahman or achieving Moshka • The four main goals include Moshka, Dharma, Artha, and Karma • Hindus achieve Moshka in four ways including….

  7. Enlightenment and Reincarnation Continued The Path of Knowledge- Spiritual Knowledge The Path of Meditation- to reach self within you The Path of Devotion- Picking a God and worshipping them for the rest of your life The Path of Good Works- doing all your duties

  8. Positive Aspects • Two positive aspects include that they choose to worship only one God this is a way to prevent power of certain gods • Another positive aspect is that the followers of the religion are trying to reach out and find peace and harmony within themselves

  9. Art that reveals the religion includes… • The Aum represents the deepest meditation that a person can achieve • Dharma wheel, wheel of life and reincarnation • Bindu represents the merging of male and female forces

  10. SURPRISE • An interesting fact that I learned while researching Hinduism is that Hinduism and Buddhism are very similar religions I thought that these religions were different but they both are similar. For Example they both try to be one with themselves

  11. Holidays • I chose the Hindu Holiday of Kumbh Mela which is the pilgrimage every 12 years to four cities in India I chose this holiday because a lot of other religions have pilgrimages
