More about Hinduism

Three ways of Hinduism
The Way of Works or "Karma Marga": religious duty. It consists of cermonies, duties, and religious rites.
The Way of Knowledge or "Jnana Marga": ignorance is the reason for man's suffering. Man has to stop viewing himself as a separate reality from the "Brahman" (ultimate reality). As long as man keeps seeing himself as a separate reality he will be tied to the cycle of birth death and rebirth.
The Way of Devotion or "Bhakti Marga": love for a deity and showing that love to others. The love is reflected in acts of worship both public and private.
