Hinduism is often considered the oldest religion ever, and
the third largest religion after Christianity and Islam. Hinduism originates on the Indian
subcontinent and some parts of Southeast Asia and has over a billion followers who are known as
Hindus. There are four main branches of Hinduism,
Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism and Smartism, and all of them are
pretty much based on the concepts of kindness, compassion, patience, honesty, self-discipline
and self-control, duty, virtue, and prosperity.
Unlike many
monotheistic religions, Hinduism does not have a founder or
Creator, and it is, essentially, a combination of many old Indian traditions, cultures, beliefs,
rituals and philosophies; in fact, in many textbooks, Hinduism is referred to as the
"eternal tradition" or the "eternal law"SanÄtana
Dharma. Thus, many Hindus claim that Hinduism is not actually a religion, but a
way of life.
Hinduism is traditionally considered a
polytheistic religion , as it recognizes over 300 million
gods....
