Religious Traditions

Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world, it has existed for thousands of years and is based on rich religious traditions.

The central teaching of Hinduism is that the basic nature of man is not limited to the body or mind. Above them is the soul, and above the soul is God. India has never converted or suppressed other religions.

It is a culture, a way of life and a code of conduct. This is reflected in the term Sanatana Dharma, which means eternal faith or the eternal way of things (truth).

Brahma is a Hindu god, referred to as the "Creator" of the trinity of supreme divinity that includes Vishnu and Shiva. It is associated with creation, knowledge, and the Vedas. Brahma is specifically mentioned in the creation scriptures. 

God is one but in two forms, unlimited personal and unlimited impersonal form. He is worshiped in many different personal forms depending on the person seeking. To clarify, each god form represents specific qualities that the seeker desires to experience.

The basis of Hinduism is
Belief in reincarnation and karma - the law of cause and effect.
Striving for liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
Temples with many deities that are manifestations of the highest absolute.
The caste system regulating social life.
One of the best sources of Indian history is Vedic literature.
The Vedas formed the Indian script. The ideas and practices of the Vedic religion are codified by the Vedas. The Vedas designate and show the direct path to God himself. This is what makes Hindu philosophy/religion different from all other religions in the world.
