Essence Of Hinduism

Essence Of Hinduism teaches the two facets of Hinduism. On the one hand, there is historical Hinduism's aim to strike a balance between a worldly and spiritual way of living. The Hinduism of the Gita, the Upanishads, and Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, which is the pinnacle of Ahimsa, as well as pure worship of one immanent, formless, imperishable God is the opposite one. The main virtue of ahimsa has been attempted to be rationalized away by our people as being exclusive to Sannyasis.

The Essence Of Hinduism Training explains how living things are subject to the laws of nature and vulnerable to growth and decay. The variations in the seasons have an impact on this enormous tree called life (soul), which was once one and unbreakable at the base.
