Unit 2 Hinduism Beliefs

Key Beliefs Brahman is the only ultimate reality Monism the cosmic spirit that underlies everything, all experience, all phenomena. The paramatman (universal soul).

Key Beliefs Everything is temporary and illusionary  maya (all forms, including the present world)

Key Beliefs The goal of every Hindu is to break free of this imperfect world (maya) and achieve moksha Moksha - a blissful union with Brahman. To have one’s individual soul, the atman reunite with the paramatman

Key Beliefs Optimism – everyone will reach this goal (moksha) at some point. No damnation

Key Beliefs – Human Life Human life has no significance. It is part of an unending and essentially meaningless cycle of life, death and rebirth. It is through this cycle of successive rebirths – reincarnation, that one reaches upwards to its ultimate goal of moksha

Key Beliefs - Karma Humans are further up the ladder of reincarnation than other organism. Because of karma, (the totality of one’s actions in life that determines the form that same soul takes in their next life) humans are the creators of their own fate

Key Beliefs 330 Million gods → all different expressions of the one universal god / essence, Brahman

Key Beliefs - Key Gods Brahma – The creator god Wife – Saraswati (goddess of learning and the arts)
