 |  |  | Hinduism World: Hinduism and Belief in MayaHinduism and Maya
According
to Hinduism, the world around us is not real, because it is impermanent and
ever changing. The world in which we live is a world of ignorance and falsehood
or untruth, called Asat, in contrast to Sat or the world of Truth that exists
beyond it, where neither the mind, nor any of the senses can ever reach even
remotely.

Definition of Hinduism
Hinduism is not a religion but a set of beliefs and traditions
which have evolved over a period of time. It is a way of life based upon a
group of religious movements evolved in the Indian subcontinent over a vast
period of time. It is not based upon a single scripture or the teachings of a
single prophet. There is no central organization like the Church of
Christianity or the Order of Buddhism to control its movements or progress.

 |  |  | Hinduism World: The cause of MayaHinduism and Maya
Maya is the power that deludes. From where does this power come? It
comes from Prakriti or Nature. Prakriti is the creation of God. First He
creates Prakriti and then enters into it. And when He enters into it, He
becomes enveloped with his own maya leading to his own delusion and bondage.

Devotion
to God and the Gods of Hinduism is known as Bhakti. It is an entire realm of
knowledge and practice unto itself, ranging from the childlike wonder of the
unknown and the mysterious to the deep reverence which comes with understanding
of esoteric interworkings of the three worlds. Hinduism views existence as
composed of three worlds. The First World is the physical universe; the Second World is the subtle astral or mental
plane of existence in which the devas, angels and spirits live; and the Third
World is the
spiritual universe of the Mahadevas, "great shining beings," our Hindu Gods.
Hinduism is the harmonious working together of these three worlds.

Hinduism
The
most prevalent expression of worship for the Hindu comes as devotion to God and
the Gods. In the Hindu pantheon there are said to be three hundred and
thirty-three million Gods. Hindus believe in one Supreme Being. The plurality
of Gods are perceived as divine creations of that one Being. So, Hinduism has
one supreme God, but it has an extensive hierarchy of Gods. Many people look at
the Gods as mere symbols, representations of forces or mind strata, or as
various Personifications generated as a projection o of man's mind onto an
impersonal pure Beingness.

Hindu Religion Ð All About HinduismHinduism is the
religion of the Hindus, a name given to the Universal Religion which hailed
supreme in India. It is the oldest of all living religions. This is not founded
by any prophet. Buddhism, Christianity and Mohammedanism owe their origin to
the prophets. Their dates are fixed. But no such date can be fixed for
Hinduism. Hinduism is not born of the teachings of particular prophets. It is
not based on a set of dogmas preached by a particular set of teachers. It is
free from religious fanaticism.

All About Hinduism by Sri Swami Sivananda

Beliefs of HinduismNine Beliefs of
Hinduism
Beliefs are the building blocks of the mind. Our beliefs determine our
thoughts and attitudes about life, which in turn direct our actions. By our
actions we create our destiny. Beliefs about sacred mattersÑGod, man and
cosmosÑare essential to oneÕs approach to enlightenment. But beliefs are not
mere matters of agreement. They are what we value and hold as true. Hindus
believe many diverse things, but there are a few bedrock concepts on which most
Hindus concur. The following nine beliefs, though not exhaustive, offer a
simple summary of Hindu spirituality.

Hindu Samskaras
Hinduism
prescribes both ritual and spiritual practices for the final liberation of men.
The ritual aspect is meant to make man more spiritual in the end, not vice
versa. Each and every important event in the life a Hindu, who has chosen to
lead a normal householder's life calls for the performance of certain rites.
These rites are intended mainly to invoke the blessings of various gods and
ensure success in the performance of his ordained duties. They are performed
during various stages in his life for different ends. Some of the important
rites of Hinduism are described here.

 |  |  | Hinduism World: A hindu view on war and pacifismHinduism
and Pacifism
Hinduism does not advise peace in the face of evil and injustice.
The Bhagavad gita, which is like a bible for the Hindus, is a message to Arjuna
when he hesitates to wage a war against his own kith and kin. Sri Krishna
advises him that Arjuna should wage the war because it was a part of his duty
or karma and that he should not think of withdrawing from his responsibility
out of fear or cowardice.
