Hinduism
Definition
Hinduism is a polytheistic mystical religion started in the Indus Valley during the Vedic Age. It has no single founder and no single sacred text. Brahma, Vishnu, amd Shova are the Creator, Preserver, and Destroyer, respectively. The objective of Hindu life is to be united with an all powerful, unchanging spiritual force--brahman--upon freeing oneself from selfish desires that separate them from this force. Hindus believe in reincarnation (the rebirth of the soul in another bodily form), and that all the actions of one's life can affect their fate in the next life, but that one should just accept the caste they are in (karma). Hindus believe in nonviolence and that one has religious and moral duties which vary according to caste (class), occupation, gender, or age.
