Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 I am doing some 'religious research' and I am trying to understand the Hindu teaching or thought in regards to the classic Christian conception of the need for 'salvation.' Do Hindus believe that they are in need of some sort of atonement for their wrongful deeds (sins)? If so, how does a Hindu receive redemeption? Perhaps redemption is not necessary.

maadhav Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 hinduism is not a belief system. it is a complete science of spirituality, complete knowledge of god, and all the ways of realizing god. hinduism is about the truth only. hinduism is not a monopoly of any one. god is not a monopoly of any one either. hinduism says you are not a sinner. no one soul is. hinduism shows ways to get free from the past sins, and live sin free for now and future. a hindu's spiritual goal is to get free from the cycles of births and deaths. every living entity has a soul in the body. soul never dies. it changes bodies at/after death. a soul is capable to understand god and can do something to go to god only when it gets a human body. so a hindu does not want to waste this rare oppertunity. hope it helps.
