Hindus worship Brahman (Ultimate Reality) which is both the formless Absolute and the divine-as-personal. Hindus fall into schools of devotion to particular forms of the ultimate-as-personal: Vaishnavites (devotees of Vishnu, known also through his avatars [manifestations] such as Rama and Krishna), Shaivites (devotees of Shiva), and devotees of the Parashakti, the Divine Feminine (embodied variously as Durga, Parvati, Kali, and more). Other deities may be regarded as subordinate to, or as personifications of various functions of, the ultimate-as-personal. In the U.S.A., an ecumenical Hindu theology which sees all deities as pointers to the one Brahman, and emphasizes the non-duality of all things is also prevalent. 221
Hindus agree for the most part on notions of karma and reincarnation, but fall into various philosophical schools of thought regarding the nature of the divine-human relationship. Yoga can take the form of intellectual or physical discipline, selfless service, or devotional practices. Most Hindus acknowledge the authority of the Vedas, but some pay more attention to the Bhaghavad-Gita, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, or the writings of the founding guru of their movement. Most North American mandirs (temples) are autonomous, but some are affiliated with a national or international movement. American Hindus Against Defamation P.O. Box 611 Inselin,NJ 08830 Tel.
