Debt system in Hinduism
WHAT IS THE HINDU DHARMA ? CONTINUES……
Debt system :
When a human being is born, he has some responsibilities. It is said in this Hindu religion that man remains in debt until he fulfills them.
There are also four types. a. God debt b. rishi/ Guru loan c. Father Debt d. Human Debt
a) God debt:: Nobody cannot be born a human being in this world without receiving divine grace. Therefore humans are always indebted to God. Therefore, in order to repay this debt, humans have to nurture oneself without committing any crime. they should always observe virtue, worship God, perform sacrifices and do good deeds. If this is done, the debt can be repaid. Atheism towards God, immoral deeds, suffering of general people cannot be freed from this debt.
b) Guru/Rishi Loan: To make oneself pure in character, to study the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, to teach the related scriptures to others. Sage/rishi loan is Guru loan. The debt of education taken from Guru/own scriptures, or from one’s own guru, can only be repaid by teaching others.
c) Paternal Debt Introduction to society begins with the father’s name. Having the means to provide for one’s upbringing, being the chief protector and being born from one’s father’s seed, this debt must be paid by the offspring. This debt is associated with ancestral, descendant-clan religion. As long as one lives to pay off this debt, one can be freed by serving one’s parents with love and offering shraddha after death.
- Public and human debt: It can be freed from public debt by serving the miserable, miserable poor and hungry in the society.
***According to Vedic Sanatan, it is felt that there was a woman-dominated society in the past. It is found that the name of a woman is written before the name of a man. Such as Sitaram, Radhakrishna, Laxmi Narayan, Devi devata, but during the reproductive period, when the woman is physically disabled. Then the men pushed them back. In Hinduism, it has been explained that paternal debt is the most stringent payment, but it does not seem to give much importance to maternal debt. While the mother plays an important role in raising the child.
