LESSON PROPER

C. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills:

*We’re through about Buddhism and now let’s
proceed to the new topic which is all about
HINDUISM.
Sub Topic: THE SANATANA DHARMA
HINDUISM AS VEDIC RELIGION
THE CASTE SYSTEM
FESTIVALS

*Let’s discuss first Sanatana Dharma

Hinduism is a religion of the Dharma which is the

timeless order of all life. Dharma, according to Hindu
belief and practice, is what holds the universe together
and means duty, correct practice and truth.

Dharma is all-encompassing. It covers cosmic,

personal, and social orders of one’s life. A portion of
Hindu scriptures called the Vedas emphasizes the
cultivation of virtues according to the person’s
standing in society.
None ma’am…
*Is there any questions so far?
* This time let’s proceed to the next topic:
Hinduism as Vedic Religion
The Hindu sacred writings are called the Vedas, which
(students will read the definition in group or
reason Hinduism is also referred to as Vaidika Dharma
individual)
or Religion of the Vedas. The term Veda in Sanskrit
means “knowledge”.
There are two types of scriptures in Hindu: the Shruti
scripture (that which is heard) contains fundamental
elements of Hindu philosophy and morality.
The Shruti scriptures which are primarily the four
Vedas are considered to be of divine origin as
revealed to sages (called rishis) who received these
truths through deep meditation.
Vedas are further subdivided into four types of
religious literature:
a. SAMHITAS - hymns dedicated to gods and
goddesses.
b. BRAHMANAS - explications of the Samhitas and
other ritual acts performed by priests.
c. ARANYAKAS - philosophical interpretations of
ritual acts.
 d. UPANISHADS – explanations of general
philosophical knowledge.
The Smriti, meaning “that which is remembered” and
mostly contain stories and advice from sages. The
Smriti are considered to be of human origin although
they are important because they expound on the
Vedas. The Smriti scriptures includes the following:
a. Mahabharata – an epic poem that is 15 times
longer than the Bible, narrates the story of an
ongoing war among family members. It highlights the
importance of virtues and devotion to the gods
particularly to Krishna.
b. Ramayana – a shorter epic poem about kingship
and royal virtues, tells the story of the battles that
Rama had to fight in order to save his wife Sita from
the demon Ravana. It depicts the battle between
good and evil.
c. Dharma Shastras – legal treatises that emphasize
the importance of practicing virtue.
d. Bhagavad Gita – meaning “song of the Lord” is one
of the books in Mahabharata. For Hindus, this is
important because it extols the power and
benevolence of Krishna and his instruction to Arjuna.
None so far ma’am.
e. Puranas – depicts the sectarian divisions within
Hinduism. There are multiple creation stories, legends
and war stories by the different Hindu sects.

Note: Divide the class in two in reading the topic.

*Is there any questions?

* Now let’s take heed to the next topic:

The Caste System
- Is the traditional social structure that closely
follows the Hindu principles of karma and
samsara. The word “caste” is not Indian in
origin; it is actually Portuguese, which means
“chaste” or “pure”.
 Among the Indians, the term they use is “jati”, a
social rank one receives upon birth. Jati is a
social classification system that determines
one’s rank on the basis of the family’s
occupation.
 The four main jatis in different varnas (social
group) arranged from highest to lowest: (1)
Brahmins, (2) Kshatriyas, (3) Vaishyas and
(4)Shudras
 The Brahmins are the highest and perceived to
be the purest among all castes. They serve as
ritual experts or priests who officiate temple
worship. They also handle sacred writings and
study them extensively.
 Kshatriyas consist of political rulers and
warriors, those who administer justice and
defend the territory against invaders. This class
forms most of the nobility and their vassals in
India.
 The Vaishyas, makes up the economic
specialists and merchants. They are responsible
for producing foof and other goods and
exchanging them in markets for everyone’s
benefit.
 Shudras, consists of manual laborers. They are
considered impure because of the nature of
their job, which are usually trash collectors,
embalmers, or undertakers (those working in None so far ma’am.
graveyards). In due course they became known
as “the untouchables” because of their
association with impure or dirty stuff.

*Is there any questions?

* Now let’s take heed to the next topic:

FESTIVALS
- Stand out as the most popular because of their
connection with important gods and goddess.
 Divali (Deepavali or Diwali). The festival of
lights. Some regions consider the Divali as the
beginning of the New Year. The whole festival
lasts five days, and in preparation, Hindus clean
their house and prepare new clothes.
 Holi. The festival of spring and colors. In
mythology, this festival celebrates the slaying of
the demoness Holika by Prahlad, Vishnu’s
devotee. During this festival, devotees would
drench themselves and other with water and
would spray colorful powder to celebrate the
end of winter and the return of spring.
 Dussehra. Closely associated with Divali, the
festival of Dussehra celebrates the actual victory
of Rama over the demon Ravana. In some areas
in India, this celebration continues to the festival
of Navaratri, the festival of dance, in honor of
the goddess Durga.
 Makara Sankranti. Festival of the harvest.
Celebrated every Jan. 14, this is the only festival
in Hinduism that follows the solar calendar. This
festival is offered as a thanksgiving to the Sun-
god for providing life to the fields and making
harvests possible.
 Lohari. A midwinter festival, the festival of
Lohari celebrates the symbol shunning of evil.
During this festival, devotees will light bonfires
and would throw nuts, sesame sweets, and
 popcorn on them to symbolize rejection of evil.
 Krishna Janmaashtani. A celebration of the birth
of Krishna, a popular god among Hindus.
 Maha Shivaratri. The night of Shiva. Devotees
fast overnight in order to earn the god’s favor,
and then celebrate by merriment and partaking
of food.
 Ganesh Chaturthi. A celebration of the birth of
Ganesh, a god who is represented as an
elephant.
 Guru Purnima. The festival of one’s teacher. A
devotee honors his/her Guru (teacher) yearly by
offering puja. In some areas, this is also
celebrated by Buddhists to honor Buddha.
Hindus honor the birth of the sage Vysa who
authored the Mahabharata.
 10.Kumbha Mela. The largest Hindu festival in
the world, the Kumbha Mela celebrates the
