Hinduism is not really a “religion.” It is not formalized or organized like Islam, Judaism, or Christianity.
There is not even a single authoritative scripture. While the Vedas are universally revered among
Hindus, they are very rarely read, and even less frequently understood. Portions of them are typically
chanted during ceremonial events. They have traditionally been the preserve of the priests. Unlike
scriptures in Western religious traditions, it is not expected that most Hindus will read daily from the
Vedas.
Whenever one speaks of the “Hindu scriptures,” therefore, one is referring to a vast body of literature,
including, but not limited to, the Vedas, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and numerous legal and
philosophical texts, such as the Manusmriti and the Yoga Sutra. Some Hindus regard particular portions
of this literature as more sacred than others, while other Hindus focus on other portions of it, with the
Vedas being more universal in their appeal (with the qualifications already noted).
Despite the lack of formalization, Hindus do have duties to perform and rituals to practice during a
lifetime. The role of Hindu priests is to carry out the rituals; they are not pastoral. In times of crisis,
some people turn to their families and communities, while others turn to their spiritual leaders or gurus,
not to Hindu priests. Hindus believe that the divine reality can be approached in a variety of ways: as an
impersonal principle, or as a personal deity which takes numerous forms.
With regard to suicide in the Hindu faith, Hindu scriptures say little regarding suicide or the spiritual
consequences of suicide. The Isha Upanishad contains the following controversial verse: “All who kill the
selfgo after death to demonic worlds that are cloaked in blind darkness.” (Isha Upanishad, verse 3) It
appears to be a straightforward condemnation of suicide, asserting that the next rebirth of one who
commits suicide will be in an unpleasant, hellish state. But the phrase “kill the self” has been taken by
most of the commentators to refer to the eternal self, the atman, which, of course, is divine and cannot
be killed. So “kill the self” is taken to refer to denial of the reality of the atman. The verse thus becomes
more of a condemnation of atheism than of suicide.
Other Hindu writings make a distinction between a “dishonorable” suicide and an “honorable” giving up
of one’s life. On the one hand, suicide undertaken out of passion is
condemned in passages from the Laws of Manu such as, “No ritual of libation should be poured out for
those who…have taken their own lives.”On the other hand, the same
text commends giving up of one’s life when one has reached a high spiritual state: “When he has
gradually abandoned all attachments in this way and is freed from all duality, he is absorbed directly into
the ultimate reality.” Examples of “honorable” suicides would be when an
elderly person with an incurable disease or an ascetic who has dedicated himself to a monastic life stop
eating and drinking and “let nature take its course.” Such people are admired for being calm as they die,
knowing they have fulfilled the purpose of their lives.
Let him not desire to die, let him not desire to live; let him wait for his appointed time, as a servant
waits for the payment of his wages.
Manusmriti, chapter 6, verse 45
Mythology as defined by Ruth Benedict is a branch of knowledge constituted by myths or tales of
supernatural world which shares the characteristics of the religious complex . Its types of plot and
even its specific incidents are those of current folk tales. Indian Mythology is no exception to it. It is
the keystone of Hindureligious complex, and religious practices in India are unintelligible except by
way of their mythology. It is also an articulate vehicle of India's thinking. All Hindu myths are woven
around the playful actions of Hindu Gods, Supermen and Superwomen who are worshipped and
considered as the ideals to follow. Therefore, the imagery of Hindu mythology, like any other
mythology though spoke of mysterious world or the world beyond the existing one, its mystic
phenomenon generated its own momentum and created an expanding horizon covering the whole
range of human psychology . In Indian mythological works viz. Vedic, Puranic and Dharmashastric
texts, there are many references/stories of persons who committed suicide which can throw
