61. The Caste System In Hinduism A basic introduction to the caste system, including an account of its religious justification. http://www.friesian.com/caste.htm

The Caste System and the Stages of Life in Hinduism The pattern of social classes in Hinduism is called the "caste system." The chart shows the major divisions and contents of the system. Basic caste is called varn.a , or "color." Subcaste, or , "birth, life, rank," is a traditional subdivision of varn.a The Bhagavad Gita says this about the varn.as: [41] The works of Brahmins, Ks.atriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras are different, in harmony with the three powers of their born nature. [42] The works of a Brahmin are peace; self-harmony, austerity, and purity; loving-forgiveness and righteousness; vision and wisdom and faith. [43] These are the works of a Ks.atriya: a heroic mind, inner fire, constancy, resourcefulness, courage in battle, generosity and noble leadership. [44] Trade, agriculture and the rearing of cattle is the work of a Vaishya. And the work of the Shudra is service. There are literally thousands of subcastes in India, often with particular geographical ranges, occupational specializations, and an administrative or corporate structure. When wanted to go to England to study law, he had to ask his subcaste, the Modh Bania, for permission to leave India. ("Bania", means "merchant," and "Gandhi" means "greengrocer" from

Daily Life and Hinduism: This chapter illustrates Hinduism ain daily life. Hinduism is practised and lived, it is not only a matter of thought and philosophy. We go beyond the texts and institutions and show you the influence that Hinduism exerts on common people's lives. Aiyanar: The God Aiyanar holds an important position in local villages all around Tamil Nadu. Aiyanar worship represents a non-learned, non Brahmanical form of worship. Often Aiyanar is depicted riding on a white horse fighting against demons that are threatening the village. Aiyappan: Every year a large number of pilgrims assemble on and around the Sabari mountain in the jungles of Southern Kerala. In 1999 more than ten million people went there on the 14th of January.

Women Creative Writings Book Reviews Ghalib's Corner Humor Individuality ... Travelogues Advertisement Boloji Prepaid International Calling Cards Hinduism What is Hinduism? It is the true culture of Indians in India. Many call it "A way of life." It is not an organized religion like Christianity or Islam. It has no founder. It has no Pope. It has no hierarchy. Just a lot of scriptures. In Hindu scriptures, you are actually studying about the history and culture of India, like in 66 books of the Holy Bible you are actually studying about the culture and history of the Jews. Hinduism and Judaism are mothers of all modern religions in the world. Buddhism, Sikhism and to some extent Jainism and Zoroastrianism came from Hinduism. Of course, Jainism existed during Rig Vedic Period. Statues of Rishabha, the first Thirthankara and founder of Jainism was found in the Mohenjadaro, Harappa excavations. Islam and Christianity came from Judaism. Judaism, Islam and Christianity have Abraham as the common father figure. All three have many common prophets. There is even mention about Jesus Christ many times in the Holy Koran. Coming back to Hinduism, C.S. Lewis, the great author and theologist wrote, finally it will come to two religions. Hinduism and Christianity. The first [Hinduism] will grow absorbing ideas and concepts from everywhere and later [Christianity] will keep away from everything that is foreign to it. What C.S. Lewis wrote is very true.

Index Department of Religion More information on this lecture Religion is a major aspect of every human culture. In all civilizations in the world, religion shapes the institutions of law and government, influences family and parenting practices, and resonates in the creative work of writers and artists. A liberal arts education should include attention to human religiousness. Students well prepared in religious studies can better approach post-graduate work in law, medicine, public administration, or education. The Religion Department offers instruction, from the introductory to the advanced level, in most of the world's major religious traditions: Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, the religions of the ancient Near East, the religions of Africa, and religious life in Ancient and Modern China, and in North America. Almost all of the faculty specialize in a specific religious area and have expertise in the associated languages and history, since a philological and historical grounding is considered essential to a thorough understanding of a religion. Everyone teaching in the department also believes in the importance of comparing religious traditions and in studying religions in a comparative way. It is the department's insistence on an undergraduate major that is comparative and interdisciplinary in nature that distinguishes the study of religion at Dartmouth.

Advaita is based on Vedas, the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Brahmasutras. Shankara establishes the essential identity between Atman and Brahman. Advaita Vedanta holds that all that exists is only Brahman. The entire universe is indeed nothing but Brahman and the individual Atman ultimately merges with Brahman, and realization of this unity is Salvation (Moksha.) A number of national and international institutions have drawn inspiration from this philosophy. The list encourages a wide range of discussion topics focusing on Shankara, pre-Shankara and post-Shankara Advaita Philosophy. The list will support spiritual discussions related to Vaishnavam, Shaivam, Buddhism, Jainism and others. This forum facilitates
