Hinduism Beliefs, Doctrines & the Concept of God

By Hetal Patel

The root of Hindu Dharma (religion) lies in the Indian subcontient, in the Indus valley (valley of river Sindhu) where over 300 advanced settlements existed as early as 5000 BC.

The root of Hindu Dharma (religion) lies in the Indian subcontient, in the Indus valley (valley of river Sindhu) where over 300 advanced settlements existed as early as 5000 BC.  Hinduism, the world's oldest living dharma (religious philosophy and the way of life) has no founder, single teacher or prophet. Hindu Dharma is called Sanatan Dharma or Eternal Dharma. the word Santan implies that it always existed. Those who follow this faith are known as Hindus. Hinduism is the world's third most practiced religion with over 900 million followers. Over 80% of the population of India regard themselves as Hindus. Hinduism is one of the most tolerant, resilient, peace loving and pantheistic religions.

Hindu beliefs

Hindus believe in one God, the universal soul(Brahman), Param-Atma (Suprime Soul), as the sole reality. Brahman has no form and eternal. Brahman is creator, presever adn transformer of everything. God is al pervading, all-existing and all-blissful. That formless god can best be realized by concentrating on various forms of ideal personalities as recorded in the scriptures. In other words, Hindu religion is flexible and provides many ways to develop one's spiritual ideas in order to suit individual needs.

OM

Brahman is present in all beings and appears in the human spirit as Atman or soul. In other words, all living beings are the manifestatiion of one Suprime Being (Brahman). Atman is the essence of all living things. It is infinite and eternal, unchanging and indivisible. It cannot be destroyed by weapons nor can it be burned by fire. The true nature of the individual is the Atman, which is one with the underlying reality of the Universe. There is but one being. one reality "Thou art That"

The ultimate goal of Atman is Moksha (reunion with Param-Atma- God). There are various way by which the individual, in accordance with his/her temperament, can realize God. That is way HIndus do not seek to convert and that is why Hinduism easily accepts different modes of worship. It believes that just as rain water falling anywhere leads to one ocean, all true religions, and respects their teachings as the same eternal truths adapted to the needs of different peoples at different times.

Hindus believe that whenever righteousness declines and unrighteousness, sins or tytanny overcome the world, God incarnates himself on earth to restore righteousness.

Hinduism ponders the meaning of life, and after-life and offer suggestions on the continual  ascent in the "chakra" or a circle of life. A doctrine of Karma and rebirth is central to the Hindu faith. Hindus believe that the soul passes through a cycle of successive lives - birth, death and rebirth untilll all "karmas" have been resolved and "moksha", spiritual knowledge and liberation from the cycle of rebirth is attained.

Once's next incarnation is always dependent on how the previous life was lived. So if one behaves badly in his this life, his next incarnation is likely to be more unpleasant than the current one. One reaps what one sows. Also that will delay Realization of Moksha (union wiith God) or freedom from cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

Hindu believe Atman (soul) is eternal, it  never dies. When a person dies, it simply  changes the body. Only the body that housed the departed soul is destroyed (cremated).

Hindu believe that life is sacred and should be loved and revered. Therefore it is important to practice "ahinsa"  or non-violence. Voilence is all manners, by words, deeds, in forms of murder or suiicide is considered sinful.

Since atma is a manifestatioin of Param-Atma (God), all beings (Jeevas) are part of God and hence there is total equality. For Hindus there cannot be any discrimination on any basis.

Hindus do not rely on a single book as authority. The religion has many sacred writings: Vedas, Upanishads, Brahma Sutra, Sutras, Bhagwad Gita etc. Its uniqueness lies in its being based on the super conscious experiences and spiritual realizations of a galaxy of saints, sages and seers.

As you can see Hinduism is more than a religion, it is a philosophy. Hinduism provides a medley of choices like a well balanced meal to bring spirituality. calmness and openness to our lives.

    Sir;
    Hindu- word has concern with place; not religion.The men living near Sindhi river is known has Hindu. This Hindus religion is Sanatan.  Sanatan means ethics.The  Veda  is book of ethics. the man is passing in his life span; 1. Social; 2. Economics; .Politics; 4.Physical; 5. Religion. How to be happy; during passing above span; is given in Veda.  Adventure and Bravery;  is the base of all life span. Please see  Rig-Ved shlok;  4-2-15   We become fire to break the mountain. Our life usually as  soft as lotus but for attacking enemy; we become as fire.  With our brightness; and bravery; we make enemy ash;  Crush down all difficulties come along the ways.  If any mountain hinders our progress; we break it. 
     Atharv- Veda 2-13-14  Let our body be build hard as stone. Let our body be strong as stone. we never are poor; weaker; and light less. Let every element of physique be powerful. In every vain; part of body supremacy zest; and viger filed. 
     we can say; the whole life span of Lord Krishna in one sentence  I never harass any one and no one can harass me   Our God are stout.  let me our saints are reading Veda and Upnishd.
     Being a Hindu; every one must be stout.  when our God  Ram  and  Krishna  are not weaker; then why we are weaker?
