INDIAN RELIGION

India is a religious country with a different religions. India has multi religions. I would like to list the following religions in my blog:
HINDUISM
 It was developed about 5000 years ago on the scared banks of the river Indus. Hinduism is one of the biggest and oldest religions of India. In India, majority of the population is of Hindu religion. Hinduism is the world’s third biggest religion after Christianity and Islam. “According to Hinduism, three lord rules the world. Brahma: The creator, Vishnu: The preserver, and Shiva: The destroyer.”

Hindu also worships the “wives” of Shiva. A Hindu place for worship is called “Temple or Mandir”


 
Beliefs of Hinduism:
1.      Hinduism believes that what we are now is the result of our Karma in the past life. The Karma is what we done in our life. The good things we do are called good Karma and the bad things we do is called as bad Karma or sin.
2.      The four fold goal of human life is The  Purushhaarthas - Dharma (Duty and Righteousness), Artha (Worldly Prosperity), Kaama (Enjoyment) and mokshha (Liberation).
3.      The oldest aspect of Hinduism is as much social as religious, and that is the caste system. “According to Hindu teaching, there are 4 basic castes, or social classes. Each caste has its own rules and obligation for living.
