| | |  Survey_of_Hindu_organisations: Encyclopedia II - Hindu denominations - Basic overviewContemporary Hinduism is traditionally divided into four major denominations: Śaivism, Shaktism, Vaishnavism, and Smartha.
Hinduism is a very rich and complex religion. Each of its four denominations share rituals, beliefs, traditions and personal Gods with one another, but each denomination has a different philosophy on how to achieve life's ultimate goal (mokśa, liberation) and different views of the Gods. Each follows different methods of self-realization and worships different aspects of the One Supreme God. Howeve ...

| | | | Survey_of_Hindu_organisations: Encyclopedia II - Hindu denominations - Śaivism Śaivites are those who primarily worship God Śiva as Supreme God, both Immanent and Transcendent.
Śaivism embraces at the same time Monism and Dualism. It focuses on yoga, meditation and love for all beings.
Major theological schools of Śaivism include Kashmir Śaivism, Śaiva Siddhanta and Virasaivism.
To Saivites God Śiva is both with and without form; He is the Supreme Dancer, Nataraja; He is the linga, without beginning or end.

| | | | Survey_of_Hindu_organisations: Encyclopedia II - Hindu denominations - Shaktism Shaktas worship Shakti, the divine Mother, in her many forms like (Kali, Durga, Laxmi, Saraswati etc.).
Shakta form was one of the oldest forms of Hindu religion (evidences even from Indus valley civilisation), but with evolution of civilisation and emergence of various doctrines, various other forms of Hindu philosophy emerged. Shaivism and Shakta forms are really inseparable, as is the description of Shiva and Shakti/Sati/Parvati. Vaishanvism has also its connections with Shakta philoso ...

| | | | Survey_of_Hindu_organisations: Encyclopedia II - Paramahansa Yogananda - Life Yogananda was born Mukunda Lal Ghosh in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India into a devout Bengali family. His autobiography claims that from his earliest years, his awareness and experience of the spiritual was far beyond the ordinary. In his youth he sought out many of India's Hindu sages and saints, hoping to find an illumined teacher to guide him in his spiritual quest.
Yogananda met his guru, Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri, in 1910, at the age of 17. After passing his Intermediate Examination in Arts from the Scottish Church College, ...

| | | | Survey_of_Hindu_organisations: Encyclopedia II - Paramahansa Yogananda - Legacy Yogananda taught his students the need for direct experience of truth, as opposed to blind belief. He said that “The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive experience. Intuition is the soul’s power of knowing God. To know what religion is really all about, one must know God.” (from The Essence of Self-Realization)
To that end, he taught certain yoga techniques that he believed would help the student achieve Self-realization. He said that “Self-Realization is the knowing in all parts of body, mind, and soul that yo ...

| | | | Survey_of_Hindu_organisations: Encyclopedia II - Paramahansa Yogananda - Claims of bodily incorruptibility Some of Yogananda's followers have made claims of his bodily incorruptibility. As reported in Time Magazine on August 4, 1952, Harry T. Rowe, Los Angeles Mortuary Director of the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California where he is interred, stated in a notarized letter:
The absence of any visual signs of decay in the dead body of Paramahansa Yogananda offers the most extraordinary case in our experience.... No physical disintegration was visible in his body even twenty days after death.... No indication of ...

| | | | Survey_of_Hindu_organisations: Encyclopedia II - Hindu - Origins of the word Hindu See Also: Etymology of India
The origin of the word Hindu is still disagreed upon by historians and linguists. It is generally accepted as having originally been a Persian word for someone who lives around or beyond the river Indus, which is called Sindhu in Sanskrit, and meant any inhabitant of the Indian subcontinent, before the Partition of India.
The term Hindu (Indu or Intu in China) is still used in some languages to denote a person from the Republic of India. The Greek term "India" was originally pronounced Hindia, in classical Greek, there was no character for "H". In Persian an ...

| | | | Survey_of_Hindu_organisations: Encyclopedia II - Hindu - Who is a Hindu? See Also: History of Hinduism
Prior to successful invasion of Indian subcontinent by Babar from Uzbekistan and later by European colonialists, there was no distinct definition of religion in India. Reform movements like the Samanas were not far from the Jain and Buddhist orders, and such groups provided the wheels of philosophical evolution and cultural change. While strict social ordering existed in the Brahmanical system, it was never necessary for anyone to worship a particular form of God, perform a particular set of ritual ...

| | | | Survey_of_Hindu_organisations: Encyclopedia II - Hindu - Religion for the common Hindu To all Hindus, the Vedas are not the source of religious guidance. The Vedas and the Upanishads live on in the Hindu ethos as the inspiration of the ancient traditions, social practices and religious institutions of Hindu peoples. They were the basis of most commonly accepted social and religious practices in Hindu, and indeed Indian society.
The Puranas are a wide collection of religious treatises, biographies and stories on the historical, mythological ...
