Hindu Twin Flames

To the Hindu, the afterlife is directly correlated with reincarnation and karma. The individual is meant to be on a long journey of evolution towards being “one” with the “Great Self, Brahman-Atman” (MacGregor, 1992). The Hindu current life is just a small part of that process, the Hindu belief is that the individual must go through the spiritual development of moksha. Moksha implies “the liberation of the soul from the oppression of the body” (MacGregor, 1992). In the practice of Hinduism the views on the afterlife are that although they may not currently be in the universal reality of the Eternal One, they are still one with the One, and through moksha they will change and transcend after death. In the Upanishads, there is only one true reality: the Brahman, and Hindus believe that their souls, their atman, in part of something greater, that they are all united by Brahman and the reality in which they live is an illusion. Brahman is the “ultimate reality”, who is the center of Hindu thought, seen as the Trimurti (Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu). The ultimate goal of the soul according to Hindu religion is to free the soul from ego and seek such an enlightenment that their souls are not reborn again and that their reincarnation cycle stops. In other words, in order for people to stop being reincarnated they must break through the illusion of the reality they are in and ascend their souls through meditation and acts of devotion. Hindus worship many gods and goddesses through devotion in the forms of offering sacrifices, supporting priests, and praying in order to get good karma and so that the gods may help them in life. Prayer and worship of the gods is thought to bring good fortune, the gods are given credit for creation, destruction, dead, wisdom and even for agriculture. Contrary to Hinduism, Buddhism teaches that the soul does not exist and rather that people live in a “state of anatman”(Hopfe). In Buddhism, one must embrace impermanence and let go of

In order to be truly happy we must find the perfect balance of accepting our emotions and learning to cope with them. Like Joy, we often become obsessed with the thought of being happy and forget that its not possible to be happy without the aid of all other emotions and like Sadness, we think of ourselves as pathetic and worthless if we feel down, which is not the case at all. We try to hide our true emotions, in fear of looking weak in front of others. The only way for true happiness is to find a balance with all emotions and be in tune with

We all have the opportunity to be happy, what we do with that opportunity is on us. We all face challenges, some more difficult than others but there does come a point in our lives where we have to choose.. We have to make the decision to take the opportunity of happiness or to not. We all given them opportunity even if it might not seem so. If a person is in a healthy environment, has an appropriate attitude and has love in their life, they have the opportunity to be happy.

In Hinduism karma and reincarnation are two meaningful major elements. Karma is a concept that the universe will return your good or bad actions back to you. You will find with certain actions you make, you feel good and others around you feel good. When remembering karma think about mental and physical actions that you would make. In the Hindu religion the soul reincarnates itself over and over until it becomes perfect.

Hinduism believes in the reincarnation or rebirth of souls. They believe that souls are eternal and divine and that death is only temporary.

No one forces you to be happy, we as individuals have to choose to be happy. This option to be happy gives people opportunities to be better. Choosing to be happy can lead to accomplishing your, or others dreams,overcoming obstacles, and giving others happiness.

Hinduism is a religion that follows concepts of the Upanishads, which includes the Brahman, Atman, Maya, Karma, Samsara, and Moksha. The concepts provide guidance throughout life and are key to a final death. The Brahman is something one believes in and is experience in the world that surround him. The Atman is who we are the identity of our soul, an understanding we are not just a body we are more. “The term Brahman refers to the experience of the sacred within nature and the external universe, while Atman refers to the experience of the sacred within oneself” (Molloy, 2013, p. 83). Along with understanding the spiritual aspect of nature and one’s soul is understanding how this effects every living thing. The Maya which can be referred to as magic or illusion is an important factor in life and death. “Hinduism, form

The concept of the 'self' is critical to a great many religious traditions. Understanding one's own individual position within the context of the universe helps to drive one's relationship to the divine, to the pedestrian and to one's fellow man. This is the orientation that helps define atman in the Hindu tradition. Here, this layered 'self' is a critical dimension of one's spiritual enlightenment. Finding and recognizing one's 'permanent self' from within is an essential part of this path. A concept tantamount to the soul, the atman is, in Hindu tradition, said to be the vestige of humanity that remains even when the body is expired. This makes it an essential premise also of transferring the self during the cycle of reincarnation.

Hinduism is a part of worldview Pantheism. They would state that we all are a part of the universe and no God created us. We are all gods in our own kind. They would say we are a part of atman. Ataman is a part of brahma “an impersonal force of existence that is without separation” (Halverson, 2014). We all will be reincarnated, and the life we live now will determine our next life. In other words, they highly believe in karma. “The effects of our actions, moreover, follow us not only in the present lifetime but from lifetime to lifetime” (Halverson, 2014). Nonetheless, we are all to be born, live, die, and then have a rebirth. Known as the samsara, a wheel of life (Halverson, 2014). A cycle of life that continues over and over. According

In my life, I have been defeated before, but the thing that had the most impact on me was when I got lost at Canobie Lake Park when I was seven. My family had planned to go to Canobie, I was very excited and thought of having much fun. When we got there, I was with my family, I stayed close to them and tried not to get lost. As the day got longer my patience got smaller. Finally, my sister and I were fighting over which ride to go on, my parents said we should go on the ride my sister wanted to go on first, since she was younger than I was.

Hinduism is an Indian phenomena, it is difficult to define, and difficult for the outsiders to understand some of the unusual religious, philosophical and cultural beliefs. It is according to Huston Smith, the…” least dogmatic and most diverse of all religions…” because of the belief that there is a ‘flowing though’ cycle where in samsara ones is born, lives, suffers, dies and is re-born over and over until the ‘moksha’ occurs. This spiritual liberation is achieved by yoking oneself to God then one may reach Atman: the real self that is separate from the physical body. It is unchanging, eternal and a sign of the soul and spread throughout all the parts of and in the earth. This is the God that cannot be understood or always known yet Hindus are encouraged to relate to the God they know best.

The inevitable question: what is life? For numerous individuals this dilemma has diverse answers. Various ethnic and religious groups seek out the true meaning of this question, and consequently follow a destiny of faith. In this case, an ethnographic investigation regarding ultimate questions about the afterlife, destiny and one’s purpose for life has been conducted, and the responses from both the Hindu and Christian community have been evaluated. Similarly, Christianity and Hinduism acknowledge that there is one omniscient God, and that one’s future can or cannot be fulfilled because of one’s choices. On the other hand, Christianity and Hinduism have differentiated in respect to the journey of one’s soul following death. Therefore evidence

The Question of Identity is also answered differently in both worldviews. The Christian Worldview believes "that mankind is a special creation of God (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011) . Hinduism worldview on the other hand believe's that the man's soul has no beginning, that it is an eternal force in a physical body.

Hindus believe in an everlasting soul (atman) that is reincarnated almost intact from birth to birth, and through spiritual practice Hindus seek release (moksha, also known as liberation) so that the soul can join with the Divine God, known as Brahmin.

Happiness can come in a wide variety of things. Different things make different people happy. Seeing a cute dog can make me happy for a moment. Do we long to be happy one day at a time or are we longing to know we will never be sad? Assume every person on the planet has had their happy moments, there is always a deterrent. Always the next moment that can be taken in any direction and if you have experienced emotions then it is known. People may long to be happy but. I think no one can ever be one hundred percent happy for their whole life, but I think people can be content. There will always be moments that are not happy moments but there will always be another moment that can bring joy. I believe you can be happy with your life, even with those moments of other emotion. One of the main things that I want in life is happiness. What can make me happy are many different things. I long for happiness, and in that longing many things that have the
