Category: Hinduism

Hinduism is diverse, old, and complex, with spiritual, cultural, and philosophical elements. It originated in the Indian subcontinent. It lacks a single founder or centralized authority, making it diverse and decentralized.

Hinduism advocates virtuous and ethical living in harmony with duty, guided by dharma. The moral code stresses interconnectedness and fulfilling obligations to family, society, and cosmos.

Hinduism’s pantheon includes Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, representing various aspects of the divine. Deities are revered in different forms, and individuals may choose a personal connection.

Karma plays a central role, determining future existence through samsara’s cycle. Accumulating good karma leads to a better future or liberation from reincarnation (moksha).

Integral practices like yoga and meditation aim for self-realization and unity with the divine. Hindu rituals and festivals express devotion, celebrating nature, epics, and good triumphing over evil.

With over a billion adherents, Hinduism evolves while preserving core principles. Its inclusivity allows harmonious coexistence with other religions, shaping India’s cultural landscape and influencing the world.
