| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - Guru - Guru in Sikhism The title Guru is extremely fundamental to the religion of the Sikhs. Indeed, the Sikhs have carried the meaning of the word to an even greater level of abstraction, while retaining the original usage, and apply it to an understanding of imparted knowledge through any medium.
Sikhism comes from the word Sikh, which means a strong and able Guru disciple. The core beliefs of Sikhism are of belief in one God and in the teachings of the Ten Gurus, enshrined i ...

| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - Criticism of Hinduism - Social oppression
Criticism of Hinduism - Varna System.
The division of society into four heirachial classes has resulted in much social oppression of the lowest caste, the Shudras. Critics also decry the socio-political fragmentation caused by the caste system. For example, there are over 80 subcastes of brahmins, and the Jat Hindu communities of Punjab and Haryana are considered a separa ...

| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - Criticism of Hinduism - Ideology clash with Abrahamic religions From the worldview of the three Abrahamic religions, Hinduism is criticized as being polytheistic, which they consider to be evil. It should be noted that many Hindus do not view themselves as polytheists, and some feel that monism or monistic theism would be more apt. Hinduism does, however, present an appearance of polytheism to external observers not familiar with its philisophy. More correctly, the Smarta view dominates the view of Hinduism in the West and has confused all Hindus to be seemingly polytheistic and is an inclu ...

| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - Guru - Succession and lineage parampara The word parampara (Sanskrit परमपरा) denotes a long succession of teachers and disciples in traditional Indian culture. The Hinduism dictionary defines parampara is "the line of spiritual gurus in authentic succession of initiation; the chain of mystical power and authorized continuity, passed from guru to guru." In Sanskrit, the word literally means: Uninterrupted series of succession.
Parampara is also known as Guru (teacher) Shishya (disciple) parampara or guru parampara, where the knowledge ...

| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - Guru - Guru in Buddhism The guru's blessing is the last of the four foundations in Vajrayana Buddhism. In this foundation, the disciple can continue in their experiential path on the way to the true nature of reality. The disciple regards the guru as the embodiment of Buddha, or a Bodhisattva, and he or she shows devotion and great appreciation toward the guru as such.
In the Theravada Buddhist tradition, the teacher is a valued and honoured mentor worthy of great respect and is a source of inspiration on the path to Enlightenment. In the Tibetan tradition, ...

| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - History of Hinduism - Origins From a Hindu perspective, Sanatana Dharma is composed of eternal principles and had no beginning and will have no end. There are two contemporary streams of thought regardings its origins:
Current archeaological and literary evidence suggests that Hinduism was formed somewhere between 1500-1300 BCE. These dates are when the Rig Veda is believed to have begun to be written down, though it is accepted that there was a long oral tradition of the Vedas before that.
Astronomical evidence gives an earlier date of a ...

Gurus from many denominations traveled to Western Europe and the USA and established followings. One of the first to do so was Swami Vivekananda who addressed the World Parli ...

| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - International Society for Krishna Consciousness - Spreading the word ISKCON is actively evangelical. Members try to spread "Krishna consciousness" by, for example, going on the streets to chant their mantra or to sell their books. According to the doctrine of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu one does not need to be born in a Hindu family to take up the practice of Vaishnavism. This openness places ISKCON in strong contrast to many other branches of Hinduism, which may place strong or exclusive stress on hereditary lineage and are non-missionary by nature. Thus there are ISKCON communities around the world with schools, restaurants and farms. Many ISKCON ...

| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - International Society for Krishna Consciousness - ISKCON after Prabhupada's Death Prabhupada spent much of the last decade of his life setting up the institution of ISKCON. As the charismatic leader, Prabhupada's personality and management were responsible for much of the growth of ISKCON and the reach of his mission.
Upon the death of Prabhupada on November 14, 1977, eleven of his disciples became initiating gurus for ISKCON. Those chosen were: Tamala Krishna Gosvami, Satsvarupa dasa Gosvami [1], Jayapataka Swami [2], Hrdayananda Gosvami, Bhavananda Gosvami, Hamsaduta Swami, Ramesvara Swami, Harikesa Swami, Bhagav ...

| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - International Society for Krishna Consciousness - Philosophy and History Hare Krishna devotees understand Krishna to be synonymous with Vishnu, and the highest form of God, or "the Supreme Personality of Godhead", and Radha to be his female counterpart, the embodiment of love. The teachings of bhakti yoga date back to the Vedic era and were fully developed since the times of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in West Bengal in the mid 1500s. Thus Hare Krishna devotees specifically follow a disciplic line of Gaudiya, or Bengali, Vaisnavas.
Since the middle ages Gaudiya Vaisnavism has had a continuous following in Indi ...

| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - International Society for Krishna Consciousness - Scandal and controversy Since the death of Prabhupada, ISKCON experienced a variety of what they now describe as "heresies" over the next two decades. These heresies include: 1) The Guru is God Heresy 2) The Centralisation Heresy 3) The Zonal Acarya Heresy 4) The Proxy-Initiation Heresy 5) Heresies of Continuity 6) The Sannyasi-Householder Controversy 7) The Gopi-bhava Club Heresy 8) The Rasika-bhakti Heresy 9) The Origin of the Soul Heresy [3] [4].

| | | | | Contemporary Hindu Movements: Encyclopedia II - Reincarnation - Overview Belief in reincarnation is an ancient phenomenon; in various guises humans have believed in a future life since the Ancient Egyptians, perhaps earlier, and ancient graves containing both people and possessions may testify to beliefs that a person would have need for their treasured possessions once again despite physical death.
In brief, there are several common concepts of a future life. In each of them either the person, or some essential component that defines that person (variously called the soul or spirit) persists in continuing ...

In the Urantia Book, reincarnation does not always happen. Reincarnation takes place among those souls who have divined the divine meaning and purpose and signification of their life, basically having evolved sufficiently to awaken some form of immortal awareness. Otherwise, death is a permanent affair. The cosmology of the Urantia Book is very complex ...

Perhaps the most significant anecdotal evidence in this regard is the phenomenon of young children spontaneously sharing what appear to be memo ...
