Dear Reader...
Hinduism is a very different religion than what we are used to in America. We don't understand the concepts of reincarnation and dharma. I believe we should learn more about the other religions of the world to better understand what other people see. It's important to realize that the small world we see is not representative of the big picture. There is a lot more out there that we need to research and discover.
Before I started this project, I did not know much about Hinduism. I knew that Hinduism was similar to Buddhism, which I had read about in the book Siddhartha by Harmann Hesse. The only other knowledge I had on the topic was little generic facts I had learned through social studies courses. I was aware of what a couple of the key pints of HInduism meant, but on a very shallow level. I wanted to learn more about them and have a deeper understanding.
The purpose of my topic was to learn more about Reincarnation. I wanted to know more about how your next life was chosen and how you could influence that. I hoped that through my research I could write a paper that further explains reincarnation and provides for a better understanding. I also wanted to gain a better understanding on the ideas of reincarnation and the animal world. Hinduism is very unique and I wanted to be able to understand it and learn important lessons from it.
The information on this website comes from a variety of sources. The information is mainly found from reliable websites specializing in the Hindu religion. While there is no information out of encyclopedias or books, the information is just as reliable. I did not use any information from questionable websites of Wikipedia. The pictures come from a web database of Hindu related images expressing the gods as well as symbols and depictions of reincarnation.
Through my research, I learned many new things about Hinduism. However, there is no way I could squeeze them in this paragraph. In order to learn as much as I have, you need to watch the videos, read the research paper, and explore the links on the works cited page. Hinduism is a very diverse and interesting religion. Reincarnation is a very foreign concept and this was an interesting way to learn all about it.
My research should make a difference to whoever reads it by showing them a new culture. It has helped me understand Hinduism better and learn more about it. I used videos to show the culture of India, home of Hinduism. This website provides different ways to see a new culture through pictures, videos, and words. It also should teach us the importance of good karma and how we can use it in our lives.
Sincerely,
Natalie Greenwood
