Sikhism’s beliefs, validated through the teachings of Gurus, that God was neither born, nor can He die also believe that God has not taken a human form (“Sikhism: Beliefs and Principles of Sikhism”, n.d.). Christianity’s beliefs differ somewhat due to scriptures which recognize Jesus came to Earth as God manifested (John 10:30). In both religions, meditation and prayer are viewed as essential and the means by with believer’s commune with God. Christianity, who’s scriptural based teachings instructs its followers that “There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and Men” believe that the teachings of Jesus serve as inspired teachings from God

Religion is a very intellectual topic in the world. There are so many different types of religions such as Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, Jainism, and many more. So many people in this world believe in numerous different religions. Some believe in one god, and others believe in hundreds.

Hinduism is one of the most diverse religions still practiced today. They are an adaptive religion, often taking in the local Gods of its followers, leading to many branches of the religion that occur much like dialects within a language. Although it is difficult to catalog all of the Hindu Gods and Goddesses, there is estimated to be over 300 million of them. It is common for people unfamiliar with the religion to generalize all those living on the Indian subcontinent as “Hindu”, since they are usually not aware of the many religions that are practiced in India, and how similar they can be. This generalization can trace its roots back to imperial British rule of the country. In an attempt to offer their colony representation in Parliament, a census was taken of the colony to offer representation based on religion. The census did not allow for the diversity of belief that occurs under the Hindu

Children and their families that are involved in foster care go through a great deal. It is not only tough on the children, but also the people around them, such as their birth parents, and their foster parents that are caring for them, either temporarily or sometimes permanently. Catherine Lewis discusses the best way to help children and their families in foster care get through their difficulties using an approach that has to do with their relationships with each other, called the systemic-relational approach. Her article is a literature review called, “Providing Therapy to Children and Families in Foster Care: A Systemic-Relational Approach Literature review The article works as a guide for therapists who are helping children in foster care, or families that are involved in foster care (Lewis, 2011). Many children who go through the foster care system have postplacement trauma, so one of the goals of this article is to discuss how to decrease the likelihood or severity of postplacement trauma. Another goal is to strengthen the bonds between the family, and repair their relationships using systemic-relational therapy. Article wants to direct therapists on how to help families that are involved in foster care to succeed (Lewis, 2011).

During the Mughal era, the process of converting of Hindus to Islam started (Stearns 32). It should be emphasized that this process appeared when the Delhi sultans were reigning. In spite of the fact that a substantial portion of the Indian peasantry decided to remain Hindu, most of the urban dwellers, lower-caste Hindus and residents of some regions, for example, east Bengal, without any compulsions, accepted the faith of the Mughal sultans (Stearns 32). Nonetheless, according to the article of Peter Stearns, there was a reason why some people converted to Islam; it was because of the political and economic pressures that rendered by the Mughal conquerors (32). Due to these conversions from Hinduism to Islam, the religious map of India was substantially changed (Stearns

The first interaction between the two faiths occurred when Siddhartha Gautama was born in 563 B.C.E in Kapilavastu, Nepal. The birth of the future Buddha was actually the first time the religions came in contact, although no one really knew it. Siddhartha Gautama was born as a prince of the Shakya’s, a Hindu tribe. It was not until 534 B.C.E that the Hindu prince officially broke away to form his own religion.

Unlike Islam, who knew Muhammad and the other prophets to be humans who were only transmitting the word of God, in Sikhism, they believed that some of the Guru’s actually had powers, such as Guru Lehna (or Angad) being able to cure leprosy (436). Each different Guru had brought different things to the table, such as Ram Das (the fourth Guru) and Amar Das (the third Guru) building structures for the Sink Panth (which means community) and Ram Das founding the holy city of Amritsar (437). The fifth Guru Arjun Dev built the golden temple which is considered Sikhism’s most sacred shrine (437). While Islam has the Qur’an, Sikhism has the Guru Granth Sahib. Guru Arjun Dev was also responsible for Guru Granth Sahib which is the original holy book that was compiled of devotional hymns composed by Muslim saints, Guru Nanak, hindu, and the other gurus respectively

The history of the nation of India is a long and interesting one but most westernizes lack any true understanding of it. Like any long standing culture there have been good and bad periods in their history but one period has been identified as the "Golden Age of India (Dehejia, 1993)." This period, which lasted over a hundred years (322 BCE 185 BCE), began when an exiled general by the name of Chandragupta Maurya overthrew the reigning king Dhana Nanda. Once Chandragupta Maurya had established his new government in the Eastern area of India he began expanding his power westward across Central and Western India and, in the process, the religions of Hinduism and Buddhism also began to spread throughout India (Avari, 2007).

Furthermore, the people of India are governed by one central authority and have one Prime Minister, President, Supreme Court, and Army Chief. Hinduism is the main religion practiced in India; however, there are followers of Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity, and Parsees. The people of India practice different religions but majority of them believe in the theory of Dharma and Karma. This theory includes salvation, rebirth, purification the soul, good for good, and bad for bad. Furthermore, the people of India come together to celebrate festivals and cultural celebrations. Even Indian philosophy contributes to the idea that India is “a Unity in Diversity.” There is difference in the overall conceptions of gods and ways of worshipping but Indians still maintain the fear of heaven and hell. Many ethics groups coexist in India as well. However, within each ethnic group, views on rituals, marriage, and castes remain the same. Also, many languages are spoken in India, but Sanskrit still maintains
