It has to be used worthily. The body, mind and Atma constitute together the human entity. Actions are done by the body and cognition by the mind. The Atma is that which abides. The Atma is the Divine spirit present in the human heart. Action, Awareness and Being are the threefold aspects of human life which have to be properly understood. Although they appear to be distinct, it is the unity in Action, Awareness and Being which makes for the fullness of human life. Prajna is 'constant integrated awareness' The mind, because it is engaged in various There is a fundamental principle which is at thoughts and motivates various desires and the base of all these. It is known as Prajna. actions, is described as Antahkarana (the inner Prajna has been described as Viveka instrument).

    Hinduism and Social Work

    5 Hinduism and Social Work *Manju Kumar Introduction Hinduism, one of the oldest living religions, with a history stretching from around the second millennium B.C. to the present, is India’s indigenous religious and cultural system. It encompasses a broad spectrum of philosophies ranging from pluralistic theism to absolute monism. Hinduism is not a homogeneous, organized system. It has no founder and no single code of beliefs; it has no central headquarters; it never had any religious organisation that wielded temporal power over its followers. Hinduism does not have a single scripture as the source of its various teachings. It is diverse; no single doctrine (or set of beliefs) can represent its numerous traditions. Nonetheless, the various schools share several basic concepts, which help us to understand how most Hindus see and respond to the world. Ekam Satya Viprah Bahuda Vadanti — “Truth is one; people call it by many names” (Rigveda I 164.46). From fetishism, through polytheism and pantheism to the highest and the noblest concept of Deity and Man in Hinduism the whole gamut of human thought and belief is to be found. Hindu religious life might take the form of devotion to God or gods, the duties of family life, or concentrated meditation. Given all this diversity, it is important to take care when generalizing about “Hinduism” or “Hindu beliefs.” For every class of * Ms. Manju Kumar, Dr. B.R.

They also refuse to accept removal of “offending” organ. These people are the one who take to other healing methods collectively termed as Alternative Medical Systems.

  • An Assessment of Jotirao Phule's Approach to Hindu Social Reform

    An Assessment of Jotirao Phule's Approach to Hindu Social Reform

    CONFRONTING CASTE AND BRAHMANISM: AN ASSESSMENT OF JOTIRAO PHULE’S APPROACH TO HINDU SOCIAL REFORM S.K. Chahal Abstract This paper examines the approach of Jotirao Govindrao Phule (1827- 1890), the foremost social reformer and thinker as well as one of the nation-builders of modern India, with regard to the issue of Hindu social reform in India. A radical social reformer of 19th-century Maharashtra, Phule visualized Hindu society free from all social inequalities based on caste, class and gender. He showed extreme concern for the suppressed and the marginalized sections of Hindu society, and started a crusade against the orthodoxy and the “slavery” it imposed upon the downtrodden sections of Hindu community for centuries. The paper is based on the proposition that Phule’s framework of Hindu social reform was radical and his movement was a sort of Hindu reformation movement. His approach to Hindu social reform appears to be altogether different from that of the “revivalist” reformers of 19th century who represented the so-called mainstream tradition of Hindu social reform in modern India. Phule came out with his own idea of the religion, i.e. Sarvajanik Satya Dharma (Universal Religion of Truth). In order to materialize his concept of “true religion”, he and his colleagues founded in 1873 Satyashodhak Samaj (society of truth seekers) in Pune. The set of principles the Samaj drew up shortly after its formation included belief in equality of all human beings, restoration of whose natural/human rights was one of its aims. Phule was more of a social revolutionary than a social reformer.
