    Bhagavad Gita Sparknotes

    Throughout the Bhagavad-Gita, one reoccurring theme was detachment through the practice of discipline, creates an evenness of mind. To obtain joy you need to let go of the desire of joy itself. The detachment of one’s own desires is called liberation and the only way to get there is through discipline. The verse from the second teaching is important to an overall understanding of the Gitas sense of liberation, because it focuses on finding balance within oneself through the practice of discipline.…

    Three Paths in Hinduism

    Three Paths in Hinduism

    There are three paths in Hinduism - the path of knowledge, the path of devotion and the path of action. The topic to be discussed in this paper is the path of devotion, or 'bhakti' in Sanskrit. Devotion is defined as, "love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause" (Google Definitions). In the case of any religion, specifically Hinduism, this devotion is towards a God or number of gods and realizing that they are not just there to be worshipped but will also protect you and help you when you need them, creating a more personal relationship. I chose this topic because I think it is important, regardless of what religion you are, to have an utmost devotion toward whatever God or deity you are worshipping. God is the center of most religions, and without a devotion and love towards God we cannot bear the fruits of the religion, which are the qualities which that God possesses. Bhakti is a predominate theme seen in Hinduism (mostly after the Vedic times) especially in the Epics (Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, etc.). We will discuss the path of devotion and how it is defined, practiced and brought out in Hinduism.…

In thinking about what little I previously knew about the Hindu religion my knowledge was very limited indeed! In this paper I will discuss what I have done in order to learn more about Hinduism. I will discuss any misconceptions I may have had and how they have changed. Also, I will try to figure out a way to minimize misconceptions.…

    Hinduism Worldview Essay

    There are various forms of Hinduism found in the world today, and a key point found within the different strains is the idea that the world goes through cycles, as does the human soul (“Nine Beliefs of Hinduism”). Not only does Hinduism stress a cyclical universe, it also places emphasis on the existence of one major god, who is a direct representation of reality (“Nine Beliefs of Hinduism”).…

    Arguna's Journey

    In this paper I am going to explain Arguna’s journey of discovery in the Bhagavad Gita and relate it to my own journey of discovery through my college selection process. In the Bhagavad Gita Arguna refuses to fight his own family in order to win back control of Hastinapura. Throughout the course of the Gita, Krishna, a wise sage, continuously attempts to convince Arguna to fight the Kauravas to gain back control of Hastinapura for the Pandavas. Being the leader of the Pandavas, Krishna knew that it was right for Arguna to fight his family so that the power of Hastinapura can be back in the rightful owner’s hands. Through much explanation of how and why it is rightful for Arguna to fight against his family, Krishna eventually convinces Arguna…
