NOTEBOOK: • P. 8 Waves of History 8/19 • P. 9 World Religions: 8/20 • Hinduism
Waves of History • What are the 4 eras and what made them each unique: • 1st: • 2nd: • 3rd: • 4th:
Advantages of Technology: • Disadvantages of Technology
Learning Targets: • I can explain how belief systems are defined and help to explain historical events and perspectives in the modern world. • I can explain how religious differences have led to conflict throughout history. • I can interpret how places and regions serve as meaningful symbols for individuals and societies.
History • Founded c. 3000 B.C. by Dravidians • Aryans= nomadic invaders from Central Asia • Caste System • Priests • Warriors/Rulers • Merchants/Traders • Farmers/Laborers • Untouchables
Caste System • Caste determines occupation and social status • No marriage outside of caste • No sharing of meals • Outlawed since 1947, but still deeply ingrained in Indian society
Beliefs • Brahma is the creator of the universe and the universal spirit, found in everything. • Brahma created all other gods as helpers. • 2 chief helpers: Shiva and Vishnu
The Four Aims • All Hindus live with 4 goals: • Dharma – righteousness (right behavior) • Artha – success/prosperity • Kama – satisfaction of desires • Moksha – release from “samsara,” the life cycle
Atman= soul • Every living thing has one • The body is mortal, but the soul is immortal • Reincarnation – soul is reborn in another form • Dharma- your record • Karma- law of consequences • Samsara- transmigration & reincarnation • Ultimate goal: moksha & nirvana • Your atman blends with Brahman (the universal spirit) and becomes part of it.
Hindu and the Caste System • Very closely tied • Karma determines reincarnation
What is sacred: • The Vedas • The Cow • Diwali: “Row of Lights” • Based on Lunar calendar, celebration of “new year” • Celebration of lights, fireworks, visiting people, gambling, eating certain foods
