Hindu Pantheism is the belief that reality is identical with divinity, or that things
comprise an all-encompassing, immanent god. They believe in one single absolute force, that is
formless, infinite, and unknowable; called Brahman.
Hindu Pantheism could affect someone’s viewpoint about one’s perception of nature
because it believed that Brahman is everything and everywhere this could cause someone to
become more at peace with the world surrounding them. They might appreciate nature more
than material things since nature is Brahman in its purest form.
Hindu Pantheism differs from polytheism and monotheism because the Hindu’s do not
believe in a specific God or multiple Gods. Instead, they believe that everything in the universe is
divine. Polytheism is “the belief of many gods” (Smart) and Monotheism is the “belief in the
existence of one god, or in the oneness of God” (van Baaren). Another way that Hindu
Pantheism differs from polytheism and monotheism is that Hindu Pantheism does not
undertake contractual or personal relationships with mankind, unlike monotheism and
polytheism a personal or contractual relationship is formed with a certain God through prayer.
In Conclusion, Hindu Pantheism is the belief that reality is identical with divinity, or that
things comprise an all-encompassing, immanent god. Hindu Pantheism differs from polytheism
and monotheism because they believe that everything is divine, and Gods are not worshiped.
