Hinduism

Hinduism is a major religion and philosophy of religion that originated in the Indian subcontinent. It is a diverse set of beliefs, practices, and traditions, and there is no single founder or central text that defines the religion.

Religious Beliefs
At its core, Hinduism is a polytheistic religion that believes in multiple deities, including Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), and Shiva (the destroyer). However, it also recognizes the existence of a single, ultimate reality or divinity known as Brahman.

Philosophical Beliefs
Hinduism has a rich philosophical tradition, which includes concepts such as karma (the idea that actions have consequences), dharma (the duty or righteousness), and moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death). Hindu philosophy also includes various schools of thought, such as Advaita Vedanta, which emphasizes the unity of all existence, and Yoga, which focuses on spiritual and physical discipline.

Political and Social Beliefs
The religion also includes a wide range of practices and rituals, such as puja (worship of deities), meditation, and pilgrimage. It has a complex caste system, which determines a person's social status and occupation, and has been a source of controversy and criticism.
