Hinduism is a collection of beliefs from the Indian subcontinent and surrounding areas. Followers may have very similar or completely different beliefs, depending on where and how they were taught it.

Hindus have 29 gods called Annapurna, Ganesha, Maya, Balrama, Garuda, Ram, Bhuvaneshwari, Hanuman, Sarawati, Brahma, Indra, Shakti, Buddha, Kali, Shiva, Dhanwantari, Kartikay, Sita, Dhumavati, Krishna, Vamana, Durga, Kurma, Vishnu, Ganga, Laksmi and Matanqi.

Hindus believe in the existence of ONE God. They also believe in the different manifestations of the same God. Which would mean that they believe, the rain, the sun, the river etc are manifestations of the same God.

Hindus don't have a set of beliefs that are set in rock, the beliefs differ between the people. The common belief is in Karma (which in the west is called cause-and-effect).

Sansari Hindus (who are bound by responsibilities of family and ways of society) practice the following:

  • Praying to God
  • Chanting name of God
  • Worshiping (puja)
  • Fasting
  • Offerings to God through fire (homa)
  • Seek for gurus (philosophical teachers)

While Hindu Yogis practice different systems of yoga.

Apart from all this, Hindus practice basic teachings of any religion like -

non-violence, love, non-stealing, etc.
