While yoga has gained global popularity for its physical and mental health benefits, its roots in Hindu culture as a spiritual practice are often overlooked. The ancient text ‘Yoga Sutras‘ by Patanjali is a comprehensive guide to the philosophy and practice of yoga, exploring the path to self-realization and spiritual enlightenment.

4. The Multitude Of Deities

Hinduism is renowned for its diverse pantheon of gods and goddesses, each representing different facets of the divine. What’s fascinating is the recognition that these deities are manifestations of a singular, formless ultimate reality, known as Brahman. The multitude of deities serves as symbolic expressions of various cosmic functions and energies.

Hindu cosmology introduces the concept of Yugas, representing different epochs or cycles of times. The four Yugas such as Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga usually follows a cyclical pattern, each characterized by distinct attributes and spiritual opportunities.

The reverence for cows in Hindu culture extends beyond the surface. While often associated with the earthly representation of the motherhood and sustenance, the cow also symbolizes non-violence and selfless service.
