Concept information

Preferred term

Hindu orthopraxy  

Definition(s)

  • Orthopraxy, a term derived from Greek meaning “correct action/activity,” is descriptive of religions that emphasize conduct, both ethical and liturgical, as opposed to faith or grace. Hinduism is characterized more by what people do than by what they believe and is, therefore, often described as a way of life rather than a cosmology or theology. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Hindu Orthopraxy]
