Law of Manu (300 BC and 300 AD)
9
Law of Manu
An ethical text written in between 300 BC and 300 AD
This text sets the social standards for the classical era and contains the roots of modern Hinduism
10
Law of Manu
One of the basic assumptions of the Law of manu is the Varna System
Based on older Rig-Veda account of the division of the cosmic man (page 82)
Law of Manu is more explicit in its explanation of the 4 varnas
11
Law of Manu
4 Varnas 1st three are the twice born The 4th (Shudras) are a once born Explains the specific duties (dharma)
of each varna
12
13
Brahmin Duties
Studying teaching sacrifice officiating at sacrifice giving gifts and accepting gifts
14
Kshatriya Duties
Protection of people giving gifts performing sacrifices studying and nonattachment to sense of pleasure
15
Vaishya Duties
Protection of cattle charity performance of sacrifice trading lending on interest and agriculture
16
Shudra Duty
Service without envy of the above three castes
17
Reincarnation
Members of each varna were expected to perform their duties faithfully and to move gradually through the system incarnation by incarnation Mobility through the caste system could only be achieved through reincarnation
18
The Brahmins ndash 4 stages
Upper caste men were expected to pass through 4 stages in his life 1 Be a student of the Vedas 2 Be a householder and marry within his
caste 3 When his grandchildren are grown he is
to retreat to the forest and live for some years as a hermit meditating and offering sacrifices
4 He may become a wandering beggar (Sannyasi)
19
Women and The Law of Manu These 4 life stages
were only for men Women were to stay in
the home under the control and protection of the chief male in the household
Women should not do anything independently
Father ndash husband ndash sons
20
More on Women and The Law of Manu
Women are meant for children They are to be worshipped The moral and ethical ideals of the
timeNo theft murder sexual immorality
21
Sacred Cows
Even at this early date Indian society placed a premium on the life of cattle
ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo
Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo
22
Why cows
Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed
In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred
Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world
23
The Law of Manu and Time
Divine time is virtually endless In the beginning there is Brahma
There is peace abundance and morality
Then the world begins to decay Vishnu intervenes on behalf of humanity but the world continues to decay Famines war and general immorality become the rule
24
The Law of Manu and Time
Finally the world is destroyed by Shiva
When the cycle of time is complete the world dissolves and souls depart into suspended being
After some time the cycle begins again and souls take up new bodies
25
Moral Aim of the Law of Manu (importance to Society)
Pleasantness patience control of mind non-stealing purity control of the senses intelligence knowledge truthfulness and non-irritability
26
Ten Commandments
27
Ten Commandments
bull The Ten Commandments are a list of religious and moral imperatives that according to the Hebrew Bible were spoken by God to the people of Israel from the mountain referred to as Mount Sinai
bull Given to Moses in the form of two stone tablets They are recognized as a moral foundation in Judaism Christianity and Islam
28

ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo
Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo
22
Why cows
Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed
In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred
Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world

An ethical text written in between 300 BC and 300 AD
This text sets the social standards for the classical era and contains the roots of modern Hinduism
10
Law of Manu
One of the basic assumptions of the Law of manu is the Varna System
Based on older Rig-Veda account of the division of the cosmic man (page 82)
Law of Manu is more explicit in its explanation of the 4 varnas
11
Law of Manu
4 Varnas 1st three are the twice born The 4th (Shudras) are a once born Explains the specific duties (dharma)
of each varna
12
13
Brahmin Duties
Studying teaching sacrifice officiating at sacrifice giving gifts and accepting gifts
14
Kshatriya Duties
Protection of people giving gifts performing sacrifices studying and nonattachment to sense of pleasure
15
Vaishya Duties
Protection of cattle charity performance of sacrifice trading lending on interest and agriculture
16
Shudra Duty
Service without envy of the above three castes
17
Reincarnation
Members of each varna were expected to perform their duties faithfully and to move gradually through the system incarnation by incarnation Mobility through the caste system could only be achieved through reincarnation
18
The Brahmins ndash 4 stages
Upper caste men were expected to pass through 4 stages in his life 1 Be a student of the Vedas 2 Be a householder and marry within his
caste 3 When his grandchildren are grown he is
to retreat to the forest and live for some years as a hermit meditating and offering sacrifices
4 He may become a wandering beggar (Sannyasi)
19
Women and The Law of Manu These 4 life stages
were only for men Women were to stay in
the home under the control and protection of the chief male in the household
Women should not do anything independently
Father ndash husband ndash sons
20
More on Women and The Law of Manu
Women are meant for children They are to be worshipped The moral and ethical ideals of the
timeNo theft murder sexual immorality
21
Sacred Cows
Even at this early date Indian society placed a premium on the life of cattle
ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo
Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo
22
Why cows
Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed
In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred
Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world
23
The Law of Manu and Time
Divine time is virtually endless In the beginning there is Brahma
There is peace abundance and morality
Then the world begins to decay Vishnu intervenes on behalf of humanity but the world continues to decay Famines war and general immorality become the rule
24
The Law of Manu and Time
Finally the world is destroyed by Shiva
When the cycle of time is complete the world dissolves and souls depart into suspended being
After some time the cycle begins again and souls take up new bodies
25
Moral Aim of the Law of Manu (importance to Society)
Pleasantness patience control of mind non-stealing purity control of the senses intelligence knowledge truthfulness and non-irritability
26
Ten Commandments
27
Ten Commandments
bull The Ten Commandments are a list of religious and moral imperatives that according to the Hebrew Bible were spoken by God to the people of Israel from the mountain referred to as Mount Sinai

Sacred Cows
Even at this early date Indian society placed a premium on the life of cattle
ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo
Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo
22
Why cows
Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed
In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred
Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world
23
The Law of Manu and Time
Divine time is virtually endless In the beginning there is Brahma
There is peace abundance and morality
Then the world begins to decay Vishnu intervenes on behalf of humanity but the world continues to decay Famines war and general immorality become the rule

The Law of Manu and Time
Finally the world is destroyed by Shiva
When the cycle of time is complete the world dissolves and souls depart into suspended being
After some time the cycle begins again and souls take up new bodies

In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred
Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world

Sacred Cows
Even at this early date Indian society placed a premium on the life of cattle
ldquoThe Vaishya having gone through the sacraments and having accepted a wife should engage himself in trade and the protection of cattlerdquo
Among the greater sins is the ldquokilling of cattlerdquo
22
Why cows
Cows form the core of religious sacrifices for without ghee or butter which is produced from cows milk no sacrifice can be performed
In the Mahabharata we have Bhishma saying Cows represent sacrifice Without them there can be no sacrificehellipCows are guileless in their behavior and from them flow sacrificeshellipand milk and curds and butter Hence cows are sacred
Bhishma also observes that the cow acts as a surrogate mother by providing milk to human beings for the whole life So the cow is truly the mother of the world

The History of Buddhism
It was all started by Buddha who was a prince in Lumbini 2500 years ago
He was very unhappy in his royal life so he set off on a 6 year journey exploring other religions
After his long journey and much meditation he was finally ldquoenlightenedrdquo
He found the middle path the key to human happiness For the rest of his life he wandered Asia preaching his new religion
37
What Did Buddha Teach
He taught the 4 Noble truths which sum up Buddhism religion
He also taught the noble eight fold path
He taught to lead a moral life be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions and to develop wisdom and understanding
He also taught the 5 precepts
38
What are the Four Noble Truths
The first was that life is sufferingbull You canrsquot live without death frustration etc
The second is that suffering is caused by craving and aversion
bull Getting what you want doesnrsquot guarantee happiness it deprives you of it
The third is that suffering can be overcome and true happiness attained
bull If we stop craving useless things and live each day at a time (not living in the future) we will be happy and free
The fourth is that the Noble eight fold path leads to the end of all suffering
