Preliminary Comments:

Brahman (non-physical spirituality)
Maya (seeming-to-be)
Atman (atman-Brahman)
Brahmin (caste)
Brahma (creator), Vis(h)nu (preserver), S(h)iva (destroyer-creator)

Part 1

(first 20 minutes)
OK to call Brahman "God"
"We're all Hindus" "Everybody is a Hindu"
Goddess of Art and Learning: symbolic pointer to Brahman
All ritual as pointer
lesser understanding = literal
Look beyond the piece of clay

Part 2

(second 20 minutes)
Brahman - in all living things
cycle - not linear
sanyasi - one who renounces (even one's past) ; Mahatma - "great soul"
To be closer to God
Notice spectators deferring to priests; common among religions
Christian "Saints" (historical people) vs. Hindu gods (mythological symbols)
Castes: 4 main castes; represents division of labor [karma]

Part 3

(remaining 12 minutes)
Childhood
marriage (arranged) [householder]
withdrawal [gradually move to background]
renouncer - beyond the gods
Ritual as uniting bond
