.ॐ... Hinduism is characterized by a diverse array of belief systems, practices and scriptures. It has its origin in ancient Vedic culture at least as far back as 2000 BC. It is the third largest religion with approximately 890 million followers worldwide, 96% of whom live in the Indian subcontinent.

Hinduism (सनातन धर्म; commonly called San¨¡tana Dharma, roughly Perennial Faith by Hindus) is the oldest major world religion still practiced today and first among Dharma faiths.

Hinduism is a very rich and complex religion. Each of its four sects shares rituals, beliefs, traditions and gods with one another, but each sect has a different philosophy on how to achieve life’s ultimate goal (moksa, liberation) and on their views of the Gods.

.ॐ...OM, a sacred syllable and a quintessential symbol of Hinduism. Its meanings are many.

Perhaps the Hindu spirit, inspired by no one man or woman in particular, is best captured in a line from the ancient Rig Veda, the “oldest religious scripture in the world.”

Hinduism is practiced through a variety of Yogas (spiritual practices), primarily bhakti (loving devotion), Karma Yoga (selfless service), Raja Yoga (meditational Yoga)and Jnana Yoga (Yoga of discrimination).These are described in the two principal texts of Hindu Yoga: The Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras. The Upanishads are also important as a philosophical foundation for this rational spiritualism.

Contemporary Hinduism is now divided into four major divisions, Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, and Smartism. Just as Jews, Christians, and Muslims all believe in the same one God but differ in their conceptions of Him, Hindus all believe in one God but differ in their conceptions. The two primary forms of difference are between the two monotheistic religions of Vaishnavism, which conceives God as Vishnu, and Shaivism, which conceives God as Shiva. Other minor forms are aspects of Vishnu or Shiva.

We respect to all Religions / WE all Brothers.
