The three main characters concerning Hindus in the text is that they believe that God is a divine existence and that all human beings are differently made from others. They believe that human beings are separated from God, who is great, and he is the unitary existence from which all human beings and knowledge come from. They refer to God as Brahman. The most exciting part is that Hindus also have three ways to freedom in their daily lives, known as yogas. The paths consist of Karma, which is connected to blood ties and profession. It strengthens the cultural and behavioral characteristics of individuals (Hatcher, 2006). Secondly, Bhakti is related to those Hindus who are regular worshippers from their residences or temples. Lastly, Jnana is connected to the Hindus, who spend most of their time studying, and this directs on mystical knowledge. There are those Hindus that engage in more than one path, and so, the latter are not exclusive of each other. The third character of this community is that they have four ashramas starting with a scholar, to a house-owner, forest dwellers, and then into a renouncer.
Through reading the article, I get to understand that Hindusim is not different from the other religions since they also believe that God is a Supreme Being. However, they have a belief that reality is that which differentiates one person from the other and that which makes beings devote to God. Therefore, Hindus also commit to their God, Brahaman, just like any other religion. Just like all other worshippers, before churches, shrines, and mosques were constructed, the believers used to worship under trees, from the rivers, and on mountains and believed the places to be holy(Brodd, 2013). Finally, all Hindus trust that their souls do not die, in that the seen body does not limit their lives, but linked to the spirit, just like other religions such as Christianity and Muslims.
