A Hindu Creation Story: Rig Veda

            
             The story of creation as depicted by the Hindu religion is very similar to that of Christianity. In both religions there is the presence of an almighty being that is responsible for the creation of life. The act of sacrifice by these almighty gods allows for the world to evolve. In the case of the Hindu, the sacrifice of Purusa allowed for the creation of the heavens and the earth, the wind and the water, as well as warriors and wildlife. In Christianity, God the father created all and sent his son Jesus down to earth where he is eventually sacrificed for the sins of all mankind.
             The sacrifice of Purusa created four different classes in the Hindu culture: the Brahman, the Rajanya, the Vaisya, and the Sudra. This can be justified by acknowledging the fact that everyone plays an important role in life no matter which level or class they fall under. Whether you are at the top or the bottom, the Hindu believed you were still a part of Purusa as a whole, and all pieces must be present in order to make it complete.
