Scripture and Belief

This title will begin by looking at the Vedas, which is the Hindu holy book. The Vedas are split into four separate sections, which in turn are separated into four parts. Each section will be explored and the importance of each will be explained. The next scriptures which will be looked at are the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita. The Ramayana is the popular story about Rama and Sita which is told at Divali. The Bhagavad Gita is the sixth book of the Mahabharata, which is the world's longest poem. We will then investigate the Hindu beliefs regarding creation and explore stories from the Vedas and the Upanishads. The final chapter will examine the Hindu beliefs on evil and suffering. It will consider attitudes on Karma and Moksha, and how these are interlinked with other beliefs and ideas.
