Here’s a table comparing the Six Ripu (Shadripu) in Hindu philosophy with the Seven Deadly Sins in Christianity:
Six Ripu (Shadripu) Seven Deadly Sins
KÄma (Desire/Lust) Lust
Krodha (Anger) Wrath
Lobha (Greed) Greed
Moha (Attachment/Delusion) Sloth (Spiritual Ignorance)
Mada (Pride/Arrogance) Pride
Matsarya (Jealousy) Envy
— Gluttony is included in lobh
Both concepts describe human tendencies that lead to suffering and moral downfall. The Seven Sins focus more on Christian morality, while the Six Ripu are obstacles in spiritual growth in Hinduism.
