Ep 382: Kushal Mehra Dives Into Hindu Thought
The Seen and the Unseen - hosted by Amit Varma
Exploration of Contrasting Beliefs and Hostility in Religious Ideologies
The Charvaka belief differs from monotheistic ideologies in various aspects. Charvaka sees the body as the Brahman and believes moksha is attained after death, equating it to the cessation of existence. They emphasize evidence-based thinking over ritual practices. In contrast, monotheistic beliefs, particularly in Islam and Christianity, exhibit a strong hostility quotient stemming from blasphemy and apostasy. These religions are monopolistic and require complete acceptance of all beliefs, unlike the more flexible nature of other faiths like Judaism, which have started adopting non-traditional practices like Secular Jews participating in Shabbat dinners. The flexibility in Hinduism allows for varied beliefs and practices without strict dogma or exclusion, as seen in the acceptance of differing beliefs within temple premises.
