History of Hinduism Hinduism is the world’s oldest religion Started by a civilization that existed nearly 5,000 years ago - around 3,000 B.C., in the Indus Valley of India. Believed to be a mix of several religions and beliefs from that time.

Conflict in Hinduism There are many sects [versions] of Hinduism Some followers say it is a religion Some followers say it is not a religion Some say Hinduism is Monotheistic Some say Hinduism is Polytheistic Not all of them have the same beliefs, the same rituals, the same requirements

Standard Beliefs Dharma (duty): everyone is born with a specific role or duty in life. Karma: if you do what your Dharma tells you to do, good things will happen to you. If you don’t, bad things will happen.

Standard Beliefs Samsara: when you die you are reincarnated. You come back in another form. If your karma is good you will come back as something better. If your karma is bad you will come back as something worse.

Supreme Being Most Hindus believe there is an immense unifying force that governs all existence and cannot be completely known by humanity

Supreme Being Hindus recognize a single deity, Brahman. There are other gods and goddesses, which are other aspects or faces of that supreme god. Like Brahma, Shiva, Vishnu

Holy Books Hindus do not have one specific holy book. They have a lot of books that they look to for guidance, but there is not one required text. One of these books is the Vedas.

Other Facts No one person is credited with starting Hinduism A Hindu place of worship is a temple. However, Hindus are not required to go to the temple. Many Hindus worship at home. There are no ceremonies or holidays they are required to take part in

Other Facts Some Hindus give alms, take vows, or go on pilgrimages at special times during the year. One important festival observed by many Hindus is the festival of Diwali, or the Hindu New Year.
