2. Hinduism has no single founder, but
originated from the mixing of
Harappan and Aryan cultures in
ancient India around 1500 BCE.
Hindus believe in one unifying spirit,
Brahman. Hinduism is based on the
concept of reincarnation (Spirits return
to earth many times in different forms
trying to become one with Brahman).
The soul moves up or down a hierarchy
depending on their behavior in life.
A person moves closer to Brahman
by obeying the law of karma. Karma
is the sum of all your deeds, good
and bad. Good deeds involve
following your dharma, or duties
dependent on your position, gender
and occupation.

3. • Buddhism was founded by Siddhartha Gautama in
northern India around 560 BCE.
• Gautama was born into a wealthy Hindu family,
but renounced his wealth to seek spiritual
enlightenment.
• Siddharta was shocked at the pain and suffering
he observed.
At age 29, he left his wife and new born son to
find out why people suffered and how suffering
could be ended.
For 7 years, he lived as a hermit seeking the
answer through fasting and self-denial.
One day as he was meditating under a tree, he
gained an awareness that gave him the answer he
was looking for.
His followers began calling him Buddha or
Enlightened One.

4. JAINISM
1) A religious sect based upon Hinduism.
Around 500 BCE, a Hindu teacher named Mahavira
rejected the strict caste system and sacrifice.
2) Jains believe in the sacredness of all life.
They use brooms to sweep their paths to avoid
stepping on insects.
3) Jains also refuse to farm for fear of killing
insects with plows.
4) The Jains themselves say that Jainism has existed since
eternity and it had like the Jain universe no beginning and
would have no end. Most of the saints of Jainism belonged
to remote ages, millions and billions of years ago. However,
for practical purposes we may take Mahavira, their last great
saint, as a historical figure. He was a contemporary of the
Buddha.
LORD MAHAVIRA

5. Islam originated in the Middle East
around 622 CE with the Prophet,
Muhammad. Muhammad was
born in Mecca and traveled to
Medina in a journey called the
hijra, that became the founding of
Islam.
Muslim worshippers follow
scriptures called the Quran,
or Koran. The collection
of Islamic laws is also
known as the Sharia.
Islam
Five Pillars of Islam :
1)Faith in one God, Allah—monotheism
2)Five times daily prayer toward Mecca
3)Help the poor
4)Fasting during the holy month of

6. Religion in India is characterised by a diversity of religious beliefs and practices.
The Indian subcontinent is the birthplace of four of the world's major religions;
namely Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. The preamble of Indian
constitution states that India is a secular state. Throughout India's
history, religion has been an important part of the country's culture. Religious
diversity and religious tolerance are both established in the country by the law;
the Constitution of India has declared the right to freedom of religion to be
a fundamental right.
