Hindu Classified AdThe Hindu belief is that gods or divinities can take many forms, but all form one

universal spirit called Brahman. The three most important representations of Brahman are Brahma, the creator of the universe, Vishnu, the preserver of the universe, and Shiva, the destroyer of the universe.

Hinduism has been called the "oldest religion" in the world and some practitioners refer to it as Sanātana Dharma, "the eternal law" or the "eternal way” beyond human origins.

Karma & RebirthA common theme to theories of karma is its principle of causality. One of the earliest

association of karma to causality occurs in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad of Hinduism. The second concept of karma is easily known that if a person performs a good action, something good happens to them. It is the same that if they do something bad, something bad will happen to them. The third theme of karma theories is the concept of reincarnation or rebirth (saṃsāra). Rebirth is a fundamental concept of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. The concept has been intensely debated in ancient literature of India; with different schools of Indian religions considering the relevance of rebirth as either essential, or secondary, or unnecessary fiction.

Caste System Brahmins are the priests in Hinduism. Kshatriyas are the warriors in the Hindu

religion. Next, vaishyas are merchants or landowners. These three are the groups that are reborn and get to live a second life. Next are the Shudras, these are generally servants. last are the untouchables who are out of caste or subordinates.

Buddhism News ArticleAbout 2500 years ago, a prince named Siddhartha Gautama began to question

his sheltered, luxurious life in the palace. He left the palace and saw four sights: a sick man, an old man, a dead man and a monk. These sights are said to have shown him that even a prince cannot escape illness, suffering and death. The sight of the monk told Siddhartha to leave his life as a prince and become a wandering holy man, seeking the answers to questions like "Why must people suffer?" "What is the cause of suffering?" Siddartha spent many years doing many religious practices such as praying, meditating, and fasting until he finally understood the basic truths of life. This realization occurred after sitting under a Popular-fig tree in Bodh Gaya, India for many days, in deep meditation. He gained enlightenment, or nirvana, and was given the title of Buddha, which means Enlightened One.  

✶Fun Facts✶ Buddhism is a religion to about 300 million people around the world. The word

comes from 'budhi', 'to awaken'. It has its origins about 2,500 years ago when Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha, was himself awakened (enlightened) at the age of 35.

Full moon day is a sacred day, especially the Buddha Poornima, the birthday of Buddha, also the day of his enlightenment and Death (Nirvana and  Parinirvana).

Purpose of Life is to attain liberation from the cycle of birth and death which is the cause of suffering.

Tripitaka (3 baskets) is considered the most important text of Buddhism, it has 3 volumes:  Sutta Pitaka, Vinaya Pitaka and Abhidhamma Pitaka.

Siddhartha Gotama was born into a royal family in Lumbini, now located in Nepal, in 563 BC. At 29, he realised that wealth and luxury did not guarantee happiness, so he explored the different teachings religions and philosophies of the day, to find the key to human happiness. After six years of study and meditation he finally found 'the middle path' and was enlightened. After enlightenment, the Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching the principles of Buddhism called the Dharma, or Truth until his death at the age of 80.

Our Lady of Guadalupe: The Story of Juan DiegoAs Juan Diego wandered the hill of Tepeyac he saw a vision of a lady who

proclaimed to be the Virgin Mary. Mary requested Juan to have a church built at the hill, Juan immediately strode to the current archbishop and told him what he saw. The archbishop was skeptical and wanted proof of the Virgin Mary’s existence, sad as it is Juan could not present such proof. Juan then got news of his uncle being ill, he hurries to his uncle and on the way sees another vision of the Virgin Mary. Mary had heard the news of his uncle and the lack of proof; she cured Juan’s uncle and gave him instructions to go to the top of Tepeyac Hill. There on the typically barren hill he saw Castilian Roses which are not native to Mexico. He grabbed the flowers and hurried back to the Archbishop with the roses in hand. As he dropped the flowers from his cloak the Archbishops eyes stay on the fabric of his cloak, there an image of the virgin mary was imprinted into the cloak. This is something that was just not possible,but you can't deny reality. Soon after this miracle, a church was  on the location where Juan met the virgin. Thousands of people converted to Christianity. Our Lady Guadalupe was declared the patroness of the Americas.Needless to say, good things don't last forever. Juan Diego died on May 30, 1548 at the age of 74. Juan deeply loved the Holy Eucharist, and by special permission of the Bishop he received Holy Commission three times a week, a highly unusual occurrence in those times. Pope John Paul II praised Juan Diego for his simple faith nourished catechesis and pictured him as  model of humility for all of . And since that vision, Juan had such a devotion for Christianity. Juan had literally walked  fifteen miles to attend Mass every day. He devoted the rest of his years serving the Virgin at  the shrine erected in accordance with her wishes. The story of Juan Diego is an underrated tale of belief and hope. With this sparked  uprising of one of the most followed religion of 2.1 million followers,Christianity.Juan Diego is an idol to this religion,  saint.  Citation(s)- Juan Diego. (n.d.).
