hey,
i posted on the buddhism forum as well and I need some help with a few questions I have regarding Hinduism.
1. Explain the argument between Hindu householders and renunciates. In what way did the argument impact individuals' actions and beliefs? What were the primary points of contention between householders and renunciates?
2. What were the different ways Hindus thought/think of Dharma. What are some examples of the different roles a belief in Dharma might play in a Hindu's life.
3. Relate the creation myth of Parusha's self-sacrifice. In what ways does it legitimate certain ritual or social practices and beliefs?
4. What is Karma to the Hindu? How does it relate to Samsara, the cycle of rebirths? What are its mythlogical origins?
I'm just having a little trouble trying to start my research. I think if I have these questions answered, I'll feel a little bit more confident about what I know. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.
