Hinduism is a conglomeration of beliefs and a collection of ways to understand universal Truth. Furthermore, it is based on beliefs and the behaviors of people and not necessarily on one particular person or scripture. This complex tradition encompasses many religious doctrines but lacks a unified system of beliefs and practices. Hinduism is a way of life. Religion is not separate from living but it is living itself. The very act of living is considered an obligatory duty and aims at accepting live as a journey to self-realization. Spiritual emancipation is the ultimate goal in the life of Hinduism. Through this spiritual journey, performing in the yoga's and the unwavering devotion to Brahman, Hindu's can experience the numinous in a variety of ways. .
Hinduism not only addresses the spiritual needs of its devotee but also addresses the material needs as well. Most traditions consider moksha (liberation) as the ultimate goal because material possessions only bring temporary satisfaction (Iskcon, 2004). The meaning of moksha can differ between many Hindu schools but aims at liberating one's self from the cycle of rebirth or samsara. A person's current life is considered one of the many- including past existences and future incarnations. During the course of one's life, your destiny is determined by the quality of your actions; this is known as karma (ISKCON, 2004). To break the never ending cycle of rebirth, live, and death, one must become spiritually free. Hindu texts describe four ways in which you can become spiritually emancipated: dharma (righteousness), artha (economic development), kama (sensual enjoyment), moksha (liberation) (ISKCON, 2004). Hindu scriptures describe dharma as righteous and regulated living (ISKCON, 2004). By following behavioral norms of society and having a sustainable lifestyle, one can achieve artha or wealth. When a person is successful and prosperous they can then enjoy kama, which is sensual enjoyment.
