Work to be done by the 25th of September
Hinduism as we discussed in class is open to many choices. Also i guess you can define hinduism any way you like. You may choose 1 god or many gods. Different from the Muslim or christian faith's which are monotheistic and hinduism is polytheistic. I could say for instance i will worship this computer i'm typing on. I could say i'm hindu. The meditation would also be part of my new religion(Hinduism). The main feature of yoga is meditation. According to hinduism, meditation is necessary even for the gods if they are to find release from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. Jnana yoga i think would best fit me. "If you read the posts, earnestly attempt to assimilate and integrate them, and allow yourself to observe how your reactions to life's events compares, contrasts, or is in any way modified by the comprehension you have gained, you will be doing jnana yoga". I got this quote from a website on jnana yoga. Here is the link: http://www.jnanayoga.org/JnanaEssay.htm .
