The World’s Oldest Living Religion Traces back to the Indus Valley Civilization No individual founder-developed over time Dominates modern day India and Sri Lanka

The Basics The God of Hinduism is Brahman Absolute, unchanging, ultimate reality that exists beyond the everyday world Power to take different forms Embodies the concept that: The entire universe is seen as one divine entity who is simultaneously at one with the universe and who transcends it as well.

Beliefs Each person has a soul known as Atman…many believe that Atman and Brahman are one in the same. For Hindus, Atman and Brahman are the only real things-the rest is considered illusion.

The Cycle of Samsara Endless cycle of Hinduism; includes: life, death, and rebirth. Reincarnation Hindus hope to eventually be freed of this cycle Karma: the power that keeps the Samsara cycle going This also refers to the actions performed by each individual during their lifetime. Good actions take Hindus toward a better rebirth and bad actions toward a poorer rebirth

Other beliefs of Hinduism Humans can be reborn as an animal The release from the Samsara Cycle is known as Moksha- which is literally rebirth and suffering. You can only achieve this when one replaces their ignorance with wisdom.

Dharma People live their lives according to this Dharma is the behavior or duty that governs lives An individual’s duty is determined by their position in society and by the stage of life they have reached.
