Hinduism: A Refresher

Let’s take a moment to refresh our minds on some of the important beliefs and practices of Hinduism.

In groups of three, you will be responsible for one of the following topics. Your job is two-fold:

1.    Provide a detailed exposition of the topic. This can be done in the manner of your choosing, so long as the end result is that students have notes in their binders.

2.    Bring your ideas to life in a new way.; create a comic or poster, etc.… the choice is yours.

a.    Karma, atman, reincarnation, samsara, moksha

b.    Idea of a God, monotheism vs. polytheism

c.     Four stages of life (ashramas)

d.    Four paths to salvation

e.    Four goals of life (purusharthas)

ALL GROUPS:

How would the following questions be answered by a Hindu?

1.      What is the human condition?

2.      Where are we going?

3.      How do we get there?

***Remember Hinduism will focus on Paper 1 Questions** This means:

1. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of specified content 
– Define, understand and use concepts associated with particular world religions 
– 
 2. Demonstrate application and analysis of knowledge and understanding
 – Demonstrate how the key concepts of a religion are expressed in the behaviour of believers 
– Demonstrate application and analysis of concepts
