4 RE UNIT OF WORK Year 2/Term 4 A Passage to India HINDUISM HINDUISM Know about the origins and some of the important features of the Hindu religion Ask questions and suggest answers about different ideas in Hinduism Introduction to Hinduism (also see Literacy medium term plan) Hinduism is one of the world s oldest religions, there is no fixed date for when it began. Its roots go back over 4,000 years to the time of the great Indus Valley Civilisation, which thrived along the River Indus in the West of India There are many different ways of being a Hindu. Some Hindus worship every day. Others do not take part in any formal worship. There are no set rules. But most Hindus share the same basic beliefs. Every year, millions of Hindus set off on special journeys, (pilgrimages), to holy places such as temples, mountains and rivers. The River Ganges is one of the holiest places for Hindus. Look at the map of India. Where is it in the world? Identify key landmarks. Look at their flag and discuss Globe, maps. Indian flag PowerPoint about india Know about some of the symbols associated with the Hindu religion Talk about symbols which are important in pupils lives Know the stories and meanings of some of the Hindu deities. Understand what Hindu worshippers believe about different deities Discuss what is of value to Hindus and to pupils in their own lives. Explore why worship of deities helps Hindus in their lives and who/what help pupils in their everyday lives Know what happens during worship in a Hindu home and why it is important to Hindu families Symbols of Hinduism Om or Aum is the most sacred symbol of the Hindu tradition Om is usually the first sacred word that the new-born child hears. During the Jaatakarma (birth ritual) ceremony, the family or priest will recite prayers and mantras for the health and long life of the baby. After the baby has been bathed it is placed in the father s lap and he will hold a gold ornament (such as a ring) which has been dipped into a mixture of honey and ghee, to the baby s lips with prayers for its safety, knowledge and wisdom. The mantra Om is sometimes written on the child s tongue with a golden pen dipped in honey and ghee. It is said that the universe began with the sound of Om and that it is the sound which represents all creation The Lotus (padma) is a popular symbol for Hindus. What is a symbol? Think about the similarity between symbols and logos. Identify symbols from other religions. Deities Hindus believe that the gods and goddesses show believers different things about the one god. Most Hindus have a favourite deity and might keep an image in their home. Hinduism is a colourful religion with lots of story material. LITERACY LINK these stories will be used during literacy lessons: The Moon laughs at Ganesh Krishna Steals the Butter Rama and Sita Hanuman and the Sun Murtis (small statues) and posters/photos can be shown to the children for them to see different deities. It is important for children to see what a Hindu child sees. Relate to the idea that there are people in pupils lives who help them with certain aspects of life, eg teachers, Brownie/Cub leaders, dance teachers, football coaches etc. Hindus believe that gods/goddesses help in particular aspects of their lives. Photos, posters, drawings, I. Pads for research, range of books on Hinduism etc should be available for the children to experience and begin to understand the beliefs of Hindus. Worship in the Home Discuss regular routines in the home possibly things which are done in a certain way or at a certain time. Explain that Hindus have regular worship at home as one of their routines. Create a small shrine in the classroom as a Hindu family would have in a corner of a room and talk about it.

The murtis are full of symbolism. Each element of the statue has a meaning e.g. Brahma the creator Pot (the ocean from which Brahma originated), ladle (a symbol of offering), and book (symbol of the Vedas). Four arms (creator of everything in the four quarters of the world). Brahma sits on the lotus flower, which represents the earth. Saraswati Saraswati, the mother of creation and goddess of learning. The lotus and the swan (the state of calm and concentration). In two of her hands the goddess holds a Vina (lute), on which she plays. In her left hand she holds a book, the symbol of writing and learning, In her right hand she holds a rosary, which symbolises wisdom. Vishnu the Protector and Sustainer Vishnu also holds a club, which symbolises his authority, and the power of his intellect. The lotus which he holds represents the created world. Vishnu is always described as being dark blue in colour. Lakshmi, goddess of wealth, good fortune and beauty Lakshmi stands on a lotus and holds a lotus. With her other hands she offers protection and prosperity to the worshippers. Gold coins fall from her gift-giving hand. Lakshmi s sari is usually white, her jewellery gold. Compare to the idea that there are people in pupils lives who help them with certain aspects of life, e.g. teachers, Brownie/Cub leaders, dance teachers, football coaches etc. Hindus believe that gods/goddesses help in particular aspects of their lives. Raksha Bandhan This is a festival for brothers and sisters. Discuss the advantages/disadvantages of having siblings. Is it something which the children would want to celebrate? Tell the story of Vishnu giving thread to the wife of the god Indra. This brought luck to Indra who defeated the wicked King Bali.

Tell the story and show how the celebrations especially the bonfire relate to the story. There is also the throwing of colourful powders and coloured water at people (remembering the pranks of Krishna whom Prahlada worshipped in the story). Special food is eaten at the festival.

Read the parable but stop before reading the meaning and ask pupils to make suggestions The Prodigal Son (The Lost Son) Discuss families and how they sometimes get on and at other times they do not. Discuss the meaning of the parable (that Christians believe that God is like the father in the story and will welcome people back whatever they have done if they ask for forgiveness) Forgiveness is an important part of Christian teaching. Children could have a debate on whether the father was right to welcome his father home. What is forgiveness? How can you show that you forgive other people? The Good Samaritan Explain that travel could be dangerous in Jesus time because robbers waited in hiding to steal from people. Read the parable of the Good Samaritan. Ask children to suggest meanings. Make sure that the children understand that it was the least likely person who helped.
