Questions: Which of the following describes the basic structure of Hinduism. 1) The universe is the product of Kalki's imagination. We as individuals must orient our minds to align with that of Kalki to see correctly through illusion to achieve Moksha. 2) The universe is the emanation of Brahman. The field of existence is marked by cyclical time of birth and rebirth which is Samsara. Samsara is governed by the laws of karma which dictate the mode of rebirth. Releasement from Samsara is when atman or the soul recognizes its true nature through as Brahman. This releasement is Moksha 3) Brahman determines karma or actions within the cycle of birth and rebirth, which is Samsara. Our soul, Atman, is fated to a particular kind of life. We don't know what our karmic fate will be, but we must nevertheless worship Brahman. 4) Atman is the minor body or soma of Brahman, which is the major body. When Brahman shrinks to appear as Avatara He offers signs that must be taken and used. Failing to do this results in karma, which perpetuates the Samsaric cycle.

Answer

The answer is 2) The universe is the emanation of Brahman. The field of existence is marked by cyclical time of birth and rebirth which is Samsara. Samsara is governed by the laws of karma which dictate the mode of rebirth. Releasement from Samsara is when atman or the soul recognizes its true nature through as Brahman. This releasement is Moksha.

Explanation
Option 1:

This option incorrectly attributes the universe's creation to Kalki's imagination. In Hinduism, Kalki is considered the future avatar of Vishnu, not the creator of the universe. The concept of Moksha is correctly mentioned, but the explanation of the universe's origin is not aligned with Hindu beliefs.

Option 2:

This option accurately describes the basic structure of Hinduism. It identifies Brahman as the ultimate reality from which the universe emanates. It also correctly explains the concepts of Samsara (the cycle of birth and rebirth) and karma (the law governing rebirth). The ultimate goal of realizing one's true nature as Brahman to achieve Moksha is a central tenet of Hindu philosophy.

Option 3:

This option suggests that Brahman determines karma, which is not accurate. In Hinduism, karma is the result of an individual's actions and is not directly determined by Brahman. The option also lacks the explanation of the soul's realization of its true nature as a means to achieve Moksha.

Option 4:

This option presents a metaphorical interpretation of Atman and Brahman but does not accurately reflect the core principles of Hinduism. The idea of Brahman shrinking to appear as Avatara and offering signs is not a standard explanation of Hindu cosmology or the cycle of Samsara.

Huai takes out a 3100 student loan at 6.3% to help him with 2 years of community college. After finishing the 2 years, he transfers to a state university and borrows another 12,100 to defray expenses for the 5 semesters he needs to graduate. He graduates 4 years and 4 months after acquiring the first loan and payments are deferred for 3 months after graduation. The second loan was acquired 2 years after the first and had an interest rate of 7.1%. Find the total amount of interest that will accrue until payments begin.
