Samsara In Hinduism

Hinduism has a vast variety of religious epics, in which the gods are protagonists with important roles. Gods could reincarnate or reborn to explain to people "the relationship of human beings to the divine, and ways to attain the pure calm of infinity.” (Excerpt Elements 1). For example, through Krishna it is explained how the life of an Indian man is all about putting duty and honor before desires. To preserve honor and fulfilling dharma is even more important than death, which results in good karma. Karma is is the ideal that for every action there is an equal reaction, what a person gives to the world its the reciprocal of what the world will return. Indian people however do not believe in heaven or death of the soul, only the body dies.
Moksha is the breaking of the cycle of samsara. Samsara is the cycle of rebirth and suffering.Reincarnation or rebirth is never ending until the soul finds the perfect understanding of all things. This release of life was usually achieved after living several lifetimes and reaching the total understanding of the soul.

In indian culture most people could not read, "They listened to religious stories that helped explain the ideas of Vedas" (Arguello 51) .They were passed on from generation to generation to ensure the teachings and values were followed by everyone and be able to achieve a higher a caste in the next life. The fact that most people were illiterate is due to the fact they belonged to a low caste system. Indian society was divided into castes or social classes depending on Varnas or skin color. How each person fulfilled dharma, or duty and what that dharma was depended on which caste you belonged to. Indian people could marry only people that belonged to the same caste, eat only certain things you caste allowed, and the people you could relate are some examples of how the caste system controlled peoples life. Karma, Dharma, reincarnation strengthened the caste system. People
