∙ 12y agoIf you are looking for a literal equivalent of a prophet in Abrahamic religions and Hinduism, no Hinduism does not have a prophet / prophets.
Hinduism believes in Avatars. While a prophet is regarded as a representative of God who delivers 'his' (Gods) message to the people, an Avatar is incarnation of God himself into lower realms of existence for special purposes.
Hindu scriptures don't specify anyone as prophet, Hindu scriptures like vedas, upanishads are written by various great sages and most of the authors are unknown.
Hinduism is the religion of the Hindus, a name given to the Universal Religion which hailed supreme in India. It is the oldest of all living religions. This is not founded by any prophet.
Buddhism, Christianity and Mohammedanism owe their origin to the prophets. Their dates are fixed.
But no such date can be fixed for Hinduism. Hinduism is not born of the teachings of particular prophets. It is not based on a set of dogmas preached by a particular set of teachers. It is free from religious fanaticism.
