Me And My Religion

Everyone have their own believes, as an Indian I also have my own believes, my dear readers here I’m writing a little about my Indian religion that I have collected for your information

Hinduism is the world's third most popular religion, with around 750 million followers. The religion of Hinduism originated in Northern India, near the river Indus, about 4000 years ago and is the world's oldest existing religion. Hinduism has no founder, it developed out of Brahminism.

Hinduism is the oldest religion,  Aum is the main symbol of Hinduism. It is the sound heard in deepest meditation and is said to be the name most suited for God.  Hinduism is not a Single Religion. Hinduism is the practices of a variety of different religious groups which come out of India.

What do Hindus believe?

For many Hindus, religion is a matter of practice rather than of beliefs. It's more what you do, than what you believe. Hindus believe in a universal soul or God called Brahman. Brahman takes on many forms that some Hindus worship as gods or goddesses in their own right. Hindus believe that there is a part of Brahman in everyone and this is called the Atman.

Hindus believe in reincarnation - a belief that the soul is eternal and lives many lifetimes, in one body after another. The soul is sometimes born in a human body, sometimes in an animal body and sometimes in a plant body etc. Hindus believe that all forms of life contain a soul, and all souls have the chance to experience life in different forms.
