WHAT DO THEY SAY

H I n d u I s m

The central doctrine of karma teaches that though a mans present condition is determined by his past

actions , he can influence his destiny ,

in this life and & the future by choosing the right course of

conduct.

H I n d u I s mCREATION ASCRIBED TO :::

* self conscious ,primeval person (purusha : prajapati)-who divided himself & produced a wife-& taking the form of animals and man created the whole universe..

** some say it began as water…some fire..wind ..ether ……..

*** SOME SAID : THE WORLD DEVELOPED NOT BY INTERVENTION OF GOD OR FORCES EXTERNAL TO IT BUT BY A PROCESS OF INTERNAL EVOLUTION OR RIPENING (PARINAMA)

Hinduism….all by brahma

B U D D H I S M

B U D D H I S M

**BUDDHA TAUGHT THAT SPECULATION ON FIRST CAUSE WAS A FUTILE WASTE OF TIME.

**UNIVERSE IS SOULLESS.***IN TRANSMIGRATION,NOTHING PASSES

OVER FROM ONE LIFE TO ANOTHER- ONLY A NEW LIFE ARISES AS PART OF A CHAIN

OF EVENTS WHICH INCLUDED THE OLD.** *EVEN THE GODS ARE SOULLESS..AND THE

WORLD SOUL OF THE UPANISHADS IS AN ILLUSION.

** THE ONLY STABLE ENTITY IS NIRVANA…AND METTA IS TO BE PRACTISED ALWAYS,

J A I N I S M

J A I N I S M* THE UNIVERSE IS ETERNAL.

** ITS EXISTENCE IS DIVIDED INTO AN INFINITE NUMBER OF CYCLES , EACH CONSISTING OF A

PERIOD OF IMPROVEMENT AND DECLINE.—AND FUNCTIONS THROUGH THE INTERACTION OF LIVING

SOULS - AND OTHER ENTITIES.** TRANSMIGRATION CAN ONLY BE ESCAPED BY

DISPELLING KARMA-AND ENSURING THAT NO MORE IS ACQUIRED.

** WHEN THE SOUL FINALLY SETS ITSELF FREE = IT RISES TO THE TOP OF THE

UNIVERSE , ABOVE THE HIGHEST HEAVEN, WHERE IT REMAINS IN BLISS THROUGHOUT ETERNITY,…..THIS IS NIRVANA FOR JAINS.

A J I V A K A S( AJITA KESAKAMBALAM)

** EVERYTHING IS DETERMINED AND CONDITIONED TO THE SMAILLEST DETAIL

BY AN IMPERSONAL COSMIC PRINCIPLE..CALLED NIYATI OR DESTINY.** IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO INFLUENCE THE COURSE OF TRANSMIGRATION IN ANY

WAY.** ALL CHANGE AND MOVEMENT IS

ILLUSIONARY. (QUITE LIKE NAGARJUNAS DOCTRINE OF VOID )

SKEPTISM & MATERIALISM

** MAN SHOULD MAKE THE MOST OF LIFE AND GET WHAT HAPPINESS HE CANOUT OF IT.

**ALL RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES AND MORALITY

ARE FUTILE.(traces of this can be found in artha

shastra and kamasutra)

JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM

**do not believe that individuals re incarnate.**however christians regard jesus as divine incarnate.** mohammedans believe that some prophets may re -incarnate.
