Hinduism Religion
Information about the Hinduism Religion
Originating in the Vedic civilization of India (second and first millennium B.C.), Hinduism is an extremely
diverse set of beliefs and practices with no single founder or religious authority.
Hinduism has many scriptures; the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad-Gita are among some of the most important.
Hindus may worship one or many deities, usually with prayer rituals within their own home. The most common
figures of devotion are the gods Vishnu, Shiva, and a mother goddess, Devi. Most Hindus believe the soul, or atman, is eternal,
and goes through a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara) determined by one's positive or negative karma, or
the consequences of one's actions.
The goal of religious life is to learn to act so as to finally achieve liberation (moksha) of one's soul, escaping the rebirth cycle.
