What Does My Mandala Represent

In my Mandala I chose to do the symbols I did because they all matched and described what each belief was. To represent Brahman I chose a picture of Brahman looking down on a women working because it represents how he is the Supreme power of the universe and how he watches over the people. The next symbol, represents Deities and shows a picture of a lightning and thunderstorm because thunder and lighting goes together, and the god of thunder used lighting as weapons and is loud, fierce, and warlike. I chose a picture of a woman harvesting crops to represent Dharma because it means to perform one’s duties and the women is doing her dharma. The symbol with a woman closing her eyes and remembering her good deeds best represents karma because by
law of karma people’s social class reflected what they had done in their past lives and the good and bad deeds determined that. The picture of a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth best shows samsara because it means the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth which is on the symbol I drew. To begin with, I have many beliefs, but these are my top five. First, I believe in god, and how he watches over us. I think god determines the good and bad things that happen to me, like if I fail or succeed in something. Next, I strongly believe that when good people die, they go to heaven where god turns them to angeles and they watch over their family, friends, and people they have known. I also feel that when they go to heaven, they give you a blessing when you pray or “talk” to them. Addition to god and heaven, doing homework and studying is another thing I believe, because it is important to your grade and it educates you to get into a good college and to get good grades it is important. I feel like one of my most important beliefs is believing in myself, because if I believe in myself, I can be less nervous, less scared, and I can be more ready to do things like tests, speeches, and doing a hobby in front of people. The last belief is doing my chores, or doing my Dharma. It is super important to do this because I have responsibilities in my house and at school, and if I don't do my chores or dharma, bad things will happen.

Many of my beliefs are similar to hinduism’s beliefs, and some are not even near.
To start of, my belief of god is similar to the belief of Brahman because they are both rulers, they both are “in the sky”, they are both the creator and destroyer of everything, and they both are the supreme power in the universe. Their difference are not as many as similarities, but they are different religion rulers, and that everything is a part of Brahman for hinduism, but not for my god. The next thing is heaven, which is kind of like samsara because they both have the cycle of birth and death, and also it people turn to something after death in the cycle. There difference is that my belief is when you die you go to heaven, but samsara belief is that they rebirth after death. Me believing myself is not similar to any of the hudu beliefs, but it leans toward karma because if I do something bad or good when I believe in myself, it is like karma with the bad and good things. The difference is that they have different meanings, and karma is about what comes around goes around, and my belief is about being confident in myself. Next, doing chores is like dharma because they both are doing responsibilities and working your job/duties. Lastly, my belief of study and doing homework is like deities, because they are both tuff. Their difference is that deities is a god, and homework and studying is a thing to
do.
