Abstract

Hinduism is considered the oldest religion in the world, predating even the Vedic civilization. Unlike other major religions with a specific founder—such as Prophet Muhammad for Islam or Jesus Christ for Christianity—Hinduism has no singular originator. Instead, it is often referred to as Sanatana Dharma, meaning "eternal religion." This study aims to explore the historical development, core principles, and global influence of Hinduism while addressing common misconceptions. The research employs a document study approach, analysing primary sources such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Bhagavad Gita, along with secondary sources including academic journals and historical texts. A qualitative thematic analysis is used to interpret the philosophical, spiritual, and ethical aspects of Hinduism. Findings indicate that Hinduism has significantly shaped various philosophical and religious traditions worldwide. The Vedas, comprising Rigveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, and Atharvaveda, serve as the foundation of Hindu thought. The Upanishads expand on metaphysical concepts, while the Puranas and epics provide moral and spiritual guidance. Hinduism’s adaptability has enabled it to integrate with changing social landscapes while maintaining its core teachings. It has influenced global discourses on meditation, yoga, and mindfulness, attracting scholars and practitioners across cultures. In conclusion, Hinduism is not merely a religion but a way of life that harmonizes material existence with spiritual enlightenment. Its philosophical depth, ethical teachings, and emphasis on moksha (liberation) continue to inspire individuals globally. However, misconceptions—such as its association with rigid caste hierarchies—necessitate further scholarly engagement to present a balanced understanding. As the world's most ancient religion, Hinduism remains a living tradition that evolves while preserving its spiritual essence.

Abstract

This paper examines the intrinsic relationship between education and society, emphasizing education's role as a foundational force in individual development and societal organization. The study aims to conceptualize education beyond the narrow framework of literacy, focusing instead on its broader sociological implications—particularly its capacity to cultivate moral values, civic responsibility, and social cohesion. Employing a qualitative, document-based research methodology, the study draws upon classical and contemporary philosophical perspectives, including those of Mahatma Gandhi and Aristotle, to elucidate the dynamic interplay between the individual, the community, and educational structures. The analysis highlights that education begins within the family unit, where fundamental human values such as empathy, compassion, and cooperation are first transmitted. As formal education expands this foundation, individuals become better equipped to engage constructively with increasingly complex social institutions—from the family and village to the state and global society. The study also outlines how these interconnected social layers evolve, underscoring the necessity of education in sustaining and advancing collective human life. In conclusion, education emerges not merely as a process of intellectual acquisition but as a transformative social force that shapes ethical individuals and cohesive communities. To ensure long-term societal well-being, it is imperative that educational systems integrate cognitive, emotional, and ethical dimensions, thereby enabling individuals to function as conscientious members of a global society.
