Hinduism
Definition - What does Hinduism mean?
Hinduism is one of the world’s oldest religions. It originated in India and is comprised of religious, cultural and philosophical concepts. The Hindu concept of God is manifold. Hindus believe that there is one primary, omniscient and omnipotent deity called Brahma, but there are hundreds of thousands of deities that represent certain facets of the all-knowing, absolute and primary Brahman.
Hinduism is expressed and practiced in many different ways. The basic concepts include belief in reincarnation (samsara); right action (karma), duties, ethics or right ways of living (dharma); and liberation from the reincarnation cycle by living righteously (moksha).
Hinduism is responsible for the development of yoga and Ayurveda. Many Hindu practitioners also practice yoga.
