Indus River Valley Reached its height between BC Two important cities – Harappa – Mohenjo-Daro Larger city Well-planned city: built above ground level Highest point= citadel Drainage system System of canals

Mohenjo-Daro Life – Shops for merchants and artisans – Traders from Mesopotamia – Homes opened to courtyards Unknowns – Language, system of government and religion – However, they were most likely polytheistic

Decline Around 2000 BC, farmers began to abandon their land Between BC new people from the north entered into the Indus river valley – Called themselves Aryans

Aryans Means noble or highborn Life is known from the Vedas meaning “knowledge” – Early Aryans=herders and warriors – Society organized in three classes: 1. Brahmans- Aryan priests – Preformed religious services and created hymns and prayers 2. Warriors and Nobles 3. Artisans and merchants **later came 4. farmers, laborers and servants

Caste System 500 BC-strict division of classes People always had to stay in the same caste as their parents Eventually made up of hundreds of different groups Still exists in India today – Less rigid, more interaction among castes

Hinduism History Grew out of a blend between existing Indian culture and Aryan culture Took about 3,500 years to develop Complex religion that appeals to each individuals approach to god Not just a religion, but also a way of life for the people of India

Hindu Gods/goddesses Stand for different parts of brahman Take many forms called avatars each god has their own families which are also worshipped by the Hindus

Main Hindu gods – Vishnu “the Preserver” Kind god who cares about the humans Visits earth to guide humans or protect from disaster – Shiva “the Destroyer” Very powerful Responsible for creative and destructive forces of nature – Brahman “the Creator No physical form

Warm-Up #4 (2 February 2012) 1.Place the terms from your reading last night onto your term sheet. 2.What are some ways that Hinduism allows its followers to search for truth?

Hindu Beliefs Hindu texts: – The Upanishads- “sitting near a teacher” – Mostly in the form of question/answer Duties or dharma – Must be followed by each Hindu to escape reincarnation – Depends on class, age, and occupation Ahimsa – All living things must be treated with respect

Reincarnation When a person dies, the soul is reborn into another body Every living thing has a soul (including animals) Actions of a persons life affect his/her fate – The faithful will be reborn into higher positions Salvation is achieved when a person leads a perfect life and his/her soul become one with Brahman

Practices The Yogas – Exercises to help free the soul from the cares of the world – yoga= “union” – Main types Physical Selfless deeds Knowledge-writings Devotion-honoring a personal god

Practices (continued) Worship in public by praying and performing rituals in temples Private devotion – In homes – Choose a personal god to honor by offering food, gifts and prayers – Devotion to god=closer to brahman

Buddhism Founder: Siddhartha Gautama – Not satisfied with Hindu ideas because he believed that others, not just priests, should be able to pass on knowledge His Search – Meditated and fasted for 49 days – Was able to discover the roots of suffering human selfish desire for power, wealth, and material happiness – Spent time sharing his knowledge and became known as Buddha meaning “the enlightened one”

Practice: The Eightfold Path Also known as The Middle Way – Way for a person to avoid either extreme happiness or extreme unhappiness Eightfold path- – way for humans to learn to be wise, behave correctly and to develop knowledge – People must act unselfishly and treat others fairly – Tell the truth – Avoid violence (especially killing)
