Reflection on Hinduism

Paper Summary:

This paper provides a brief overview of Hinduism, noting that the Hindu believers do not recognize Hinduism as a religion in a normal sense. The paper relates that Hinduism consists of a fundamental concept of a belief in the ultimate reality of the universal soul and that it represents a universal truth to a way of life. The paper also discusses the notion of salvation according to Hinduism and concludes that this religion/philosophy is a method of self-realization for reaching the four life goals, which are also explained in the paper, and for going down a path to salvation.

From the Paper:

"Along with the single divine reality, the later part of the Vedas teaches that the core of one's being is identical with the ultimate reality (Rood, 1994). In so much that all living things are at their innermost core, the intuitive knowledge of the oneness of everything comes to be sanctioned as a way of contact with divine reality (Rood, 1994). Thus, all things come to be endorsed as the way of contact with divine reality (Rood, 1994) and the spiritual strife to salvation."
