Indic World View:
Hinduism embraces a great diversity of beliefs, a fact that can be initially confusing to Westerners accustomed to creeds, confessions, and carefully-worded belief statements. One can believe a wide variety of things about God, the universe and the path to liberation and still be considered a Hindu. This attitude towards religious belief has made Hinduism one of the more open-minded religions when it comes to evaluating other faiths.
Probably the most well-known Hindu saying about religion is: "Truth is one; sages call it by different names." However, there are some beliefs common to nearly all forms of Hinduism that can be identified, and these basic beliefs are generally regarded as boundaries outside of which lies either heresy or non-Hindu religion.
The fundamental Hindu beliefs include:
- the authority of the Vedas (the oldest Indian sacred texts) and the Brahmans (priests)
- the existence of an enduring soul that transmigrates from one body to another at death (reincarnation)
- the law of karma that determines one's destiny both in this life and the next.
Note that a specific belief about God or gods is not considered one of the essentials, which is a major difference between Hinduism and strictly monotheistic religions like Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Sikhism. Most Hindus are devoted followers of one of the principal gods Shiva, Vishnu or Shakti, and often others besides, yet all these are regarded as manifestations of a single Reality. The ultimate goal of all Hindus is release (moksha) from the cycle of rebirth (samsara). For those of a devotional bent, this means being in God's presence, while those of a philosophical persuasion look forward to uniting with God as a drop of rain merges with the sea.
Virtually all Hindus believe in:
* An important aspect is the concept of 'dharma' - fulfillment of one's duties and engaging in righteous action. Without 'dharma', one gets nowhere.
* The basic ideas of Hinduism are that: All beings are created equal. A man is known by his actions not his deeds. Peace is one of the highest goals. Nonviolence is essential in resolving conflicts.
500,000 troops in kashmir since 1947 making it the most militarised zone and longest on going conflict of the 20th/21st century.
that's more troops than USA has or had in Iraq. its just they got no oil so no-one cares or talks about it.
oh yeah and by the Indian governemnts own figures, they are currently fighting about 50 militants.
Your question my friend is not necessarily a simple answer, but I will try to explain. Hinduism has multiple gods, and at the same time only one. Now here is where it gets difficult. Brahma is considered the creator, and Shera is the destroyer. Brahma created Shera but is only in actuality another personality of Brahma. What Hinduism recognizes as "God" had many different physical form, and personalities to match. The version of "God" simply depends on what the situation is. As simple as it can be put would possibly be to say Brahma has a SERIOUS case of schizophrenia.
Hindus believe in a single supreme being. They also believe in reincarnation of the soul, karma, and the sacredness of life.
Hinduism looks to the world like the best and oldest religion in the world and if you look the trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva they are always there for you
Hindus believein one supreme god. Also known as the universal energy by some. Names might be different according to religions but the power is one.
Hinduism grew out of the ancient beliefs of the Aryans.
