One thing you have to understand about Hinduism, is that, it's not a monotheistic religion. That means, we all have different beliefs, within Hinduism itself. But those scattered beliefs, are united by some core values. These core values are:
KARMIC NATURE OF THE UNIVERSE
Never ending cycle of birth and rebirth
Nothing is absolute!
so Hinduism, isnt a religion per se, its a way of life. A way to think!
Thus, you can interpret the teachings in different ways. So i'm gonna give you, my beliefs.
@The-wise-one said in Looks like you have some misconceptions, and im happy to clear them :
@IM-NOT-dORNY GREAT! How about we start with the creation myth, according to Hindu belief, how was the earth/universe created?
There is no absolute start or end, everything is very speculative and metaphysical.
Like i said, the core value of Hinduism is of, a perpetual cycle of starts and ends.
In today's terminology, we refer to it as the Big Bang and the Big Crunch.
But, in our religion, we never really focused on the 'how' part of the question, but it's 'why' aspect.
To find out 'how' it was created, is something science will help you in better. But to search for the 'why' it was created is where my religion, shows the way!
further to that how were people created?
what exactly do you mean by people?
is it consciousness you are talking about, or the physical aspect of us?
