18 Aryan ( Civilized People ) conquest from central Asia c BCE (Harappan empires collapsed over time) Brought class (caste) system, social structure Had elaborate palaces and arts Brought religious worship (centered upon sacrifices to personified nature deities (including Indra, the god of heavens who threw thunderbolts, Varuna, who created the cosmic order and maintained it, Agni the god of fire, Surya the Sun God, & Yama the god of death) Wrote the Vedas, religious texts that form the basis of Hinduism, including the concept of an endless cycle of rebirths
19 The Vedas Religious texts ( books of knowledge ) brought as oral literature from Aryans The basis of Hinduism Originally too sacred to put into writing; about 1,500 BCE written down in Sanskrit Sanskrit is only written now, but the sounds of the Vedas are still memorized and recited (syllable by syllable) by Brahmins (priestly caste), learned from fathers
20 Rig Veda Tells of war-like tribes that invaded India (the Aryans) Tells of Aryan gods (not originally Indian gods) Explains the four classes of society, as ordered by the gods
21 Caste Systems Class system, which became hereditary Brahmins, priests (highest caste) Warriors (Kshatriyas) Merchants (Vaisyas) Servants (Sudas) Untouchables, outside the caste system (Achutas)
22 Brahmins. Highest caste of Hindus. (1947)

24 Siddhartha Gautama (the historic Buddha) as a prince before becoming Buddha, before rejecting the world; lived happily but confined to palatial splendor until shocked by Four Sights that opened his eyes to suffering in the world: an old man, a sick man, a corpse, and a begging monk
25
26 Buddha Realized all beings experience suffering, and no material thing brings satisfaction Left palace and wandered for 6 years as an ascetic (severe fasting and austerities) When failed to reach enlightenment, relaxed ascetic disciplines, ate, and sat beneath bodhi tree, vowing not to move until reached enlightenment

40 Classical and Medieval periods in India (3 rd -13 th centuries) Hinduism was dominant religion in India (Buddhism ignored caste system & was eventually absorbed into Hinduism in India)
41 Brahmins. Highest caste of Hindus. (1947)
42 Hinduism & Brahman The only real existence is Brahman. Brahman is changeless and eternal, present in all things, the energy that sustains the universe. Brahman is the undifferentiated principle of existence. Brahman is illusory. Goal of HInduism: discover the true nature of self (atman) and Brahman and see them as one, without differentiation or separateness. (Reunify them.)
43 Hinduism & Release (moksha) The soul of the self (atman) is reborn (reincarnated) over and over, in a continuous cycle of lives (samsara). Future lives improve if religious duties are carried out faithfully and if one behaves righteously. (karma) Goal: To find a release (moksha) from this unsatisfactory existence Moksha is achieved when one discovers that atman (the self s soul) and Brahman are one.
44 A Hindu s main goal Transcendence of the world of the senses to unification with the Absolute (Moksha) Reached through ritual, self-control, and meditation, throughout many life-times
45 The four goals in a Hindu s life Spiritual transcendence Righteousness Acquisition of material property Enjoyment of refined, worldly pleasures
46 Uses of Art in Hinduism For instruction (teaches, indirectly, how to attain the 4 goals in life; helps man experience and therefore understand) For pleasure (suggesting transcendental ecstasy)
47 Hindu Gods All Hindu gods are aspects (parts) of Brahman, the only absolute reality. The primary personified gods are: Brahma, the creator god Vishnu, the preserver god Shiva, the god of destruction
48 "Only the unlearned deem myself (Vishnu) and Shiva to be distinct; he, I, and Brahma are one, assuming different names for the creation, preservation and destruction of the universe. We, as the triune Self, pervade all creatures; the wise therefore regard all others as themselves. ~ Vishnu explains the Nature of the Trinity (trimurti)~
49 Each of these gods inhabits the world in several separate avatars or manifestations, and in both male and female aspects.
50 Standing Vishnu. The Preserver, the sustaining god; the protector; Maintains and restores dharma, moral order.
51 Standing Vishnu. 4-armed; Rigid, upright pose: Sturdy axis of the universe upright pillar that joins earth to the heavens
52 disc/wheel/chakra, refers to the sun; Returns to owner, cyclical Conch. Om, first sound of Creation, Vishnu s breath Chin mudra: realization of the absolute Standing Vishnu. Lotus. Fertility, purity and water. Brahma comes from Lotus growing in Vishnu s navel.
53 Thus does Vishnu describe himself: "The world rests as the lotus in the palm of my hand, the cosmos revolves around my finger like a discus. I blow the music of life through my conch and wield my mace to protect all creatures."
54
55
56 Hindu Universe Cyclical At the end of each cosmic age, it s destroyed by fire and dissolved in the ocean, then reborn again.
57
58 Vishnu, the preserver god, reclining on a serpent, floating on the waters of the cosmic sea, dreams up the universe at the beginning of existence. We are living Vishnu s dream. What we perceive as reality is actually an illusion.
59 Ananta, giant serpent Lakshmi, Vishnu s wife/female aspect Vishnu, the 4-armed preserver god.
60
61 Lotus -grows out of Vishnu s navel. -supports 4-headed God of creation, Brahma.
62

64 Hindu Universe Like an egg, separated into 3 regions: gods, humans, demons All battle for control in a cosmic struggle of order vs. chaos
