In Hinduism, reincarnation is viewed as a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara) influenced by one's karma. Each life offers opportunities for spiritual growth and learning, helping the soul progress towards moksha, or liberation from the cycle of samsara. Achieving moksha is seen as a way to unite with the divine, thereby coming closer to God. Thus, while reincarnation itself is not a direct path to God, it serves as a means through which individuals can ultimately attain spiritual fulfillment and divine connection.
Hinduism says that if you devote your life to god you get released from the cycle of life and death and become one with God. If you however succumb to the evils of the world you are reincarnated into a rabbit or a deer or any other lower life form. From there the cycle starts and you work your way up to human, then you again have a chance to become one with god.
There is no direct answer for that. The way a person finds God in Hinduism is different for each person.
Both Buddhist and Hindus believe in reincarnation (Being born again as an animal) Aupmanyav adds: Humans also are a species of animals. Both believe that the reincarnation would be according to the karmas (actions).
Hinduism is a polytheistic religion that preaches that all is god and Islamhas only one god and preaches that killing those outside of Islam is the best way to meet Allah.
I believe they are not the same in any way. Except for the fact that they support a God.
The Hindu God Vishnu is the supreme being in the religion of Hinduism. He is the master of all and is described in this way in Hindu sacred texts and writings.
It is Hinduism in India. They believe that at death only the body dies, while the soul goes into the body of another human or animal. Where your soul will go in the next life - up or down on the caste ladder - depends on the way you live now. If you do not live a good life you will be reborn as a pariah or an animal
1st Point=They believe in Reincarnation and salvation of the soul. So, karma or commitment to ones own duty is prescribed in Hinduism. 2nd Point= There are many forms of God in Hinduism. 3rd Point= Hinduism is a way of life. There are visions, visionaries, prescriptions, discussions, etc,. But nobody is compelled to follow a particular way of life or a particular belief about God except that GOD exists. It is strictly not a religion like Islam or Christianity, which claim supremacy over other religions and where people are expected to fall in line to propagate the religion. There are many religious sects in Hinduism and are called matham (meaning religion!). 4th Point=If Hinduism is seen as a separate religion, then probably it is the oldest religion of the world. 5th Point=The Hindus never try to convert people following other religions into Hinduism. Hinduism is there in its full glory for people who are interested, to understand it and to follow. There are great literatures like Bible in Christianity or Koran in Islam (no comparison is intended however here) in Hinduism. But none is singularly prescribed to be followed. There are the four Vedhas to start with and the sayings of great seers like relatively contemporary Swamy Vivekananda.
Hinduism is a way of life- so Hindus' life is based around their religion and religious ideas. Some main points are caste system reincarnation karma Brahmen Vedas
Absolutely not. Hinduism teaches the worship of many gods. Christianity teaches that there is only one God, and that worship of any other "god" is wrong and evil. Therefore the two are mutually exclusive, meaning you can't follow both religions at the same time. Christianity teaches that Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Hinduism teaches reincarnation, that one lives many lives, and that you pay for your past actions through karma. Christianity teaches that Jesus died to pay for our sins.
==another answer: Fasting is a way to get closer to God, not to lose weight! So yes it is safe when you have God's help! If you are not depending on God then i suggest you not do it.
According to Hinduism Lord Shiva is the God of destruction. He is sitting in a pose of eternal samadhi.
