Transcendental Meditation is thinly disguised Hinduism. New Age philosophy is Hinduism wrapped in Western garb. Hinduism is tremendously diverse. Despite the diversity within Hinduism, there are five major beliefs of this religion. The first is that ultimate reality, called Brahman, is an impersonal oneness.
Nothing is distinct and separate from anything else.
Another Hindu belief is that just as the air in an open jar is identical to the air around the jar, we extend from and are one with Brahman. It's a very Hindu concept. Humanity's primary problem, according to Hinduism, is that we have forgotten we are divine. The consequence is that we are subject to the Law of Karma, another important Hindu belief. This is the moral equivalent to the natural law of cause and effect.
