Week 12: reading diary A

This week I decided to change my reading and make it about the Pattanaik. Videos. Even though  im jndian, i dont  know much about hinduism since i grew up as a christian. I dod know that the names of mahor gods like krishna, vishnu, and shiva. I dof jot know that shiva was consider the GOD while others are considered lesser gods.thwre are also doeties consider local gods like kandiva who is a local god of shiva.  Ganesha is also know as a god that hindus aspire towards cause the represents power nd a good life. These videos also showed basic ideas of hinduism.  I never thought avout it but hinduism onw of the only religion that believes in reincarnation.  This causes the sense of urgency that christians, myslims, and hebrews face is absent. I noticed that another hudge topic w a s the talk about creation and desctuction. Hindus believe in a cycle so when death does unfortunatly occur it is not the end. However, it is the sign thatmarks the begining of the cycle. They give a good metapjot they say we thing death as perod in a sentence while hindusism thinks of death as a comma in a sentence. This video is amazing. It gives alot information about the hindu gods snd goddeses. Truthfully speaking, this reading wouldgreat for a week 1 reading because it inteoduces you to all the gods. This would make the characters in ramayana and mahabharata  a lot less confusing and lot easier to understand.
