Significance of Rituals in Hinduism
In Hinduism rituals are meant to inculcate feelings of devotion and religiosity and thereby bring God and spirituality into the centre of human life. Rituals are very necessary to reinforce ones faith in both religion and the concept of God which are both essential for the growth of the religion and oneself. The religious life of many Hindus is focused on devotion to God (perceived as Brahman, Shiva, Vishnu, or Shakti) or several gods. This devotion usually takes the form of rituals and practices associated with sculptures and images of gods in home shrines and temples. Hindu religious practices center on the importance of fulfilling the duties associated both with one’s social position and one’s stage of life. With regard to the latter, traditional Hindus are expected to pass through four stages over the course of their life: Brahmacharga, which takes place during the school years, is focused on acquiring knowledge and developing character; Grastha, the middle years, is focused on worldly pursuits and pleasures such as marriage, family and career; Vanaprastha, when one’s children reach adulthood, is a time of increased focus on spiritual things; and Sanngasu, in the last years of life, one may abandon the world entirely for a life of contemplation. All stages of life for the Hindu, however, involve religious rituals and practices.To fulfil all rituals in our span of life, .Hinduism is full of rituals,and ceremonies However, as a very personal faith, most of their puja, or acts or worship, are done on a personal level for oneself , family or dearones.
