Hinduism seems simple at first, but, upon learning more about it, the Hinduism religion became extremely complex. It was surprising to learn that there are many key Hindu concepts that I am familiar with and practice today. In fact, many people are probably already familiar with many of the Hindu beliefs. Even though Hinduism goes much deeper into the spiritual process, it was fascinating to learn the cultural meaning behind some of their beliefs. The Hindu religion presents interesting concepts regarding life that many people practice and believe in today such as yoga, karma, and reincarnation. .
One major concept the Hindu religion focuses on is yoga. Yoga is being practiced more today than ever before. Many people do not realize they are practicing a form of religion. In fact, yoga is often simply considered an exercise or a clearing. Prior to taking this class, yoga only meant various stretches and increased flexibility. Now the meaning of yoga proves to be much more spiritual, but there are going to be many people today who simply do not want or will not associate yoga with any type of religion. For many people, practicing religion is praying to God in a church. The Hindus believe that cleansing the spirit is as religious as going to a church. While yoga is not really a valid Hindu concept today because many of the people who practice yoga do not see it as a spiritual experience, the concept of karma remains strong but presents a slightly different meaning. .
What goes around comes around is a popular phrase with a meaning that was created by the Hindu religion. The concept of karma is as strong today as it was when it was created many years ago. However, more people focus on the bad coming back around rather than on the good. .
Although no one can really say what may come around, it is interesting to see how some people try to sort of justify their actions and foresee their own destiny by predicting their punishments.
