HINDU PEOPLE Hindu people also follow the tenets of Dharma, Karma, and Moksha. Dharma is the ultimate goal in Hinduism and is the “right way of living”. It also proposes that there is a way of living life according to your own path of truth and that these paths vary between all of us. On the other hand, Karma proposes that anything a person does, whether good or bad, will eventually return to them in this or a future life. This concept is closely related to that of reincarnation, doctrine in…

After reviewing the Constitution, I would like to propose a few changes that should be made to better the future of India.

Hindu salvation is a very strange and easy concept to understand. There are a lot of people in the world today that want things easy. From fast food to shopping on line. Not that these things are bad, they are just easy. Salvation is easy when you do not have to work for it and the Hindu form of salvation is one of them. I'm not sure if we can choose all of it or some of it; it all seems too "wishy washy.” Many do believe in something like this, but like I stated, it is easy. The Hindu form of…

Hinduism is a religion that encompasses many different aspects. Under current Indian laws, the term “Hindu” is merely a term to specify those who do not subscribe to a handful of the modern most popular religions (Oxtoby, 273).

Indians believe The Three Deity’s created this magnificent universe. The Three Deity’s consist of Dharma the…
