Law of Manu (300 BC and 300 AD)

9

Law of Manu

An ethical text written in between 300 BC and 300 AD

This text sets the social standards for the classical era and contains the roots of modern Hinduism

10

Law of Manu

One of the basic assumptions of the Law of manu is the Varna System

Based on older Rig-Veda account of the division of the cosmic man (page 82)

Law of Manu is more explicit in its explanation of the 4 varnas

11

Law of Manu

4 Varnas 1st three are the twice born The 4th (Shudras) are a once born Explains the specific duties (dharma)

of each varna

12

13

Brahmin Duties

Studying teaching sacrifice officiating at sacrifice giving gifts and accepting gifts

14

Kshatriya Duties

Protection of people giving gifts performing sacrifices studying and nonattachment to sense of pleasure

15

Vaishya Duties

Protection of cattle charity performance of sacrifice trading lending on interest and agriculture

16

Shudra Duty

Service without envy of the above three castes

17

Reincarnation

Members of each varna were expected to perform their duties faithfully and to move gradually through the system incarnation by incarnation Mobility through the caste system could only be achieved through reincarnation

18

The Brahmins ndash 4 stages

Upper caste men were expected to pass through 4 stages in his life 1 Be a student of the Vedas 2 Be a householder and marry within his

caste 3 When his grandchildren are grown he is

to retreat to the forest and live for some years as a hermit meditating and offering sacrifices

4 He may become a wandering beggar (Sannyasi)

19

Women and The Law of Manu These 4 life stages

were only for men Women were to stay in

the home under the control and protection of the chief male in the household

Women should not do anything independently

Father ndash husband ndash sons

20

More on Women and The Law of Manu

Women are meant for children They are to be worshipped The moral and ethical ideals of the

timeNo theft murder sexual immorality

21

Sacred Cows

Even at this early date Indian society placed a premium on the life of cattle

ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo

Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo

22

Why cows

Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed

In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred

Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world

23

The Law of Manu and Time

Divine time is virtually endless In the beginning there is Brahma

There is peace abundance and morality

Then the world begins to decay Vishnu intervenes on behalf of humanity but the world continues to decay Famines war and general immorality become the rule

24

The Law of Manu and Time

Finally the world is destroyed by Shiva

When the cycle of time is complete the world dissolves and souls depart into suspended being

After some time the cycle begins again and souls take up new bodies

25

Moral Aim of the Law of Manu (importance to Society)

Pleasantness patience control of mind non-stealing purity control of the senses intelligence knowledge truthfulness and non-irritability

26

Ten Commandments

27

Ten Commandments

bull The Ten Commandments are a list of religious and moral imperatives that according to the Hebrew Bible were spoken by God to the people of Israel from the mountain referred to as Mount Sinai

bull Given to Moses in the form of two stone tablets They are recognized as a moral foundation in Judaism Christianity and Islam

28

ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo

Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo

22

Why cows

Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed

In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred

Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world

23

The Law of Manu and Time

There is peace abundance and morality

Then the world begins to decay Vishnu intervenes on behalf of humanity but the world continues to decay Famines war and general immorality become the rule

Finally the world is destroyed by Shiva

When the cycle of time is complete the world dissolves and souls depart into suspended being

After some time the cycle begins again and souls take up new bodies

Law of Manu (300 BC and 300 AD)

9

Law of Manu

An ethical text written in between 300 BC and 300 AD

This text sets the social standards for the classical era and contains the roots of modern Hinduism

10

Law of Manu

One of the basic assumptions of the Law of manu is the Varna System

Based on older Rig-Veda account of the division of the cosmic man (page 82)

Law of Manu is more explicit in its explanation of the 4 varnas

11

Law of Manu

4 Varnas 1st three are the twice born The 4th (Shudras) are a once born Explains the specific duties (dharma)

of each varna

12

13

Brahmin Duties

Studying teaching sacrifice officiating at sacrifice giving gifts and accepting gifts

14

Kshatriya Duties

Protection of people giving gifts performing sacrifices studying and nonattachment to sense of pleasure

15

Vaishya Duties

Protection of cattle charity performance of sacrifice trading lending on interest and agriculture

16

Shudra Duty

Service without envy of the above three castes

17

Reincarnation

Members of each varna were expected to perform their duties faithfully and to move gradually through the system incarnation by incarnation Mobility through the caste system could only be achieved through reincarnation

18

The Brahmins ndash 4 stages

Upper caste men were expected to pass through 4 stages in his life 1 Be a student of the Vedas 2 Be a householder and marry within his

caste 3 When his grandchildren are grown he is

to retreat to the forest and live for some years as a hermit meditating and offering sacrifices

4 He may become a wandering beggar (Sannyasi)

19

Women and The Law of Manu These 4 life stages

were only for men Women were to stay in

the home under the control and protection of the chief male in the household

Women should not do anything independently

Father ndash husband ndash sons

20

More on Women and The Law of Manu

Women are meant for children They are to be worshipped The moral and ethical ideals of the

timeNo theft murder sexual immorality

21

Sacred Cows

Even at this early date Indian society placed a premium on the life of cattle

ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo

Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo

22

Why cows

Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed

In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred

Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world

23

The Law of Manu and Time

Divine time is virtually endless In the beginning there is Brahma

There is peace abundance and morality

Then the world begins to decay Vishnu intervenes on behalf of humanity but the world continues to decay Famines war and general immorality become the rule

24

The Law of Manu and Time

Finally the world is destroyed by Shiva

When the cycle of time is complete the world dissolves and souls depart into suspended being

After some time the cycle begins again and souls take up new bodies

25

Moral Aim of the Law of Manu (importance to Society)

Pleasantness patience control of mind non-stealing purity control of the senses intelligence knowledge truthfulness and non-irritability

26

Ten Commandments

27

Ten Commandments

bull The Ten Commandments are a list of religious and moral imperatives that according to the Hebrew Bible were spoken by God to the people of Israel from the mountain referred to as Mount Sinai

Protection of people giving gifts performing sacrifices studying and nonattachment to sense of pleasure

15

Vaishya Duties

Protection of cattle charity performance of sacrifice trading lending on interest and agriculture

16

Shudra Duty

Service without envy of the above three castes

17

Reincarnation

Members of each varna were expected to perform their duties faithfully and to move gradually through the system incarnation by incarnation Mobility through the caste system could only be achieved through reincarnation

18

The Brahmins ndash 4 stages

Upper caste men were expected to pass through 4 stages in his life 1 Be a student of the Vedas 2 Be a householder and marry within his

caste 3 When his grandchildren are grown he is

to retreat to the forest and live for some years as a hermit meditating and offering sacrifices

4 He may become a wandering beggar (Sannyasi)

19

Women and The Law of Manu These 4 life stages

were only for men Women were to stay in

the home under the control and protection of the chief male in the household

Women should not do anything independently

Father ndash husband ndash sons

20

More on Women and The Law of Manu

Women are meant for children They are to be worshipped The moral and ethical ideals of the

timeNo theft murder sexual immorality

21

Sacred Cows

Even at this early date Indian society placed a premium on the life of cattle

ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo

Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo

22

Why cows

Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed

In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred

Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world

23

The Law of Manu and Time

Divine time is virtually endless In the beginning there is Brahma

There is peace abundance and morality

Then the world begins to decay Vishnu intervenes on behalf of humanity but the world continues to decay Famines war and general immorality become the rule

24

The Law of Manu and Time

Finally the world is destroyed by Shiva

When the cycle of time is complete the world dissolves and souls depart into suspended being

After some time the cycle begins again and souls take up new bodies

25

Moral Aim of the Law of Manu (importance to Society)

Pleasantness patience control of mind non-stealing purity control of the senses intelligence knowledge truthfulness and non-irritability

26

Ten Commandments

27

Ten Commandments

bull The Ten Commandments are a list of religious and moral imperatives that according to the Hebrew Bible were spoken by God to the people of Israel from the mountain referred to as Mount Sinai

28

Ten Commandments

17

Reincarnation

18

The Brahmins ndash 4 stages

Upper caste men were expected to pass through 4 stages in his life 1 Be a student of the Vedas 2 Be a householder and marry within his

caste 3 When his grandchildren are grown he is

Women should not do anything independently

Father ndash husband ndash sons

20

More on Women and The Law of Manu

Women are meant for children They are to be worshipped The moral and ethical ideals of the

timeNo theft murder sexual immorality

21

Sacred Cows

Even at this early date Indian society placed a premium on the life of cattle

ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo

Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo

22

Why cows

Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed

In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred

Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world

23

The Law of Manu and Time

Divine time is virtually endless In the beginning there is Brahma

There is peace abundance and morality

Then the world begins to decay Vishnu intervenes on behalf of humanity but the world continues to decay Famines war and general immorality become the rule

24

The Law of Manu and Time

Finally the world is destroyed by Shiva

When the cycle of time is complete the world dissolves and souls depart into suspended being

After some time the cycle begins again and souls take up new bodies

Sacred Cows

Even at this early date Indian society placed a premium on the life of cattle

ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo

Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo

22

Why cows

Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed

In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred

Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world

23

The Law of Manu and Time

Divine time is virtually endless In the beginning there is Brahma

There is peace abundance and morality

Then the world begins to decay Vishnu intervenes on behalf of humanity but the world continues to decay Famines war and general immorality become the rule

24

The Law of Manu and Time

Finally the world is destroyed by Shiva

When the cycle of time is complete the world dissolves and souls depart into suspended being

After some time the cycle begins again and souls take up new bodies

25

Moral Aim of the Law of Manu (importance to Society)

Pleasantness patience control of mind non-stealing purity control of the senses intelligence knowledge truthfulness and non-irritability
