Moksa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | Moksa is very foreign to the Aryan concepts, and the supposition is the non-Vedic and pre-Aryan Indian cultures must have contributed to Hinduism the ideas on renunciation and asceticism that led to moksa and |
 | | While some may attain moksa at death, the real goal is to achieve it well in advance, as certain yogis and gurus do: A guru in the fullest sense of the word should be jivan-mukta, that is, one who has attained liberation before death. |
 | | There is, as some imply, a criticism of moksa, as defined, moksa is the soteriolgical, salvation, goal of Hinduism, but in this sense moksa is paradoxical because to achieve moksa all desires or goals are abandoned, which is impossible if moksa is declared to be the highest aim of human existence. |
