2,517 words (approx. 10.1 pages) | 6 sources | MLA | 2002 Malaysia


Paper Summary:

The following essay addresses the Hindu pilgrimage and why pilgrimage is an important aspect of Hindu religion. Firstly, the essay focuses on points that support pilgrimage as a fundamental and key aspect of the Hindu community. Secondly, a perspective denying pilgrimages have any significant role for Hindus and their religion is discussed.

From the Paper:

"Pilgrimages are also associated with myths where there are many tithes associated with the great events of the mythological tradition. The tirtha is the counterpart of the avatara, the word used to describe the divine descents of the gods. Avatara means, to cross down precisely at those places where the gods have crossed down into this world, where avataras are the tirthas - places where earthly pilgrims are able to make their spiritual crossings. (Eck, D, 1985, PP 67 - 68) .The essay now will focus on the opposite perspective - a discussion that attempts to justify that pilgrimages are not, and should not be of importance to Hindus."
