Major common scriptures include the Vedas, Upanishads, Mahabharata, Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita. The concept of \u201cOneness of Re-ality\u201d is very profoundly reflected in the Hindu concept of God. The Hindu Trinity responsible for the creation consist of three main gods and goddesses, Shiva and Parawati, Vishnu and Lakshmi and Brah-ma and Sarasvati who are respectively the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer of the universe. However, each aspect of the trinity contains and includes the others. They are ultimately perceived as three dif-ferent aspects of the same Supreme God, generally referred to as Brahman.
\nGod is both completely transcendent as well as immanent and interconnected in nature. According to ancient Vedic texts, Vishnu appeared on earth many times as an Avatar (a Being who restores righteous-ness), principally on ten occasions, manifesting successively as a fish, a turtle, a boar, a lion, a dwarf, a human being, a prince, a God child\/teen, as the Buddha and as Kalki, an Avatar who will usher in a new age of spirituality. It is very interesting to note that the sequence in which Vishnu appeared on earth is very much in sync with Darwin\u2019s theory of evolution.
\nConcerning equal respect and dignity of all human beings, the Mahabharata affirms \u201cThis is the sum of duty: do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you\u201d.
\nAt the Humanics Sanctuary, Hinduism is represented with sculptures of: Shiva and Parawati, Vishnu and Lakshmi and Brahma and Sarasvati , Ganesh, Matsya the fish, Kurma the Turtle, Varaha the Boar, and Narasimha the Lion.
