Hinduism

Hindu GodsHinduism is the dominant religion of the Indian subcontinent, and the third largest religion in the world after Christianity and Islam. Established over 3000 years ago, Hinduism is based on ancient scriptures known collectively as the Vedas. Hindus believe in a supreme spiritual force called Brahman with which an individual will become one after cleansing his or her karma through a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. In life, Hindus follow the laws of dharma, or spiritual teachings. Hinduism claims to have many founders, teachers and prophets who claim first hand experience of God.
