Study points or things you ought to know……..
• Hinduism is one of the oldest known organized religions—
its sacred writings date as far back as 1400 to 1500 B.C. It is
also one of the most diverse and complex, having millions of
gods. Hindus have a wide variety of core beliefs and exist in
many different sects. Although it is the third largest religion in
the world, Hinduism exists primarily in India and Nepal.
• The main texts of Hinduism are the Vedas (considered
most important), Upanishadas, the Mahabharata, and the
Ramayana. These writings contain hymns, incantations,
philosophies, rituals, poems, and stories from which Hindus
base their beliefs. Other texts used in Hinduism include the
Brahmanas, the Sutras, and the Aranyakas.
• Hinduism views humankind as divine. Because Brahma is

3. everything, Hinduism asserts that everyone is divine. Atman, or
self, is one with Brahman. All of reality outside of Brahman is
considered mere illusion. The spiritual goal of a Hindu is to
become one with Brahma, thus ceasing to exist in its illusory
form of “individual self.”
• This freedom is referred to as “moksha.” Until moksha is
achieved, a Hindu believes that he/she will be repeatedly
reincarnated in order that he/she may work towards self-
realization of the truth (the truth being that only Brahman
exists, nothing else). How a person is reincarnated is
determined by karma, which is a principle of cause and effect
governed by nature's balance. What one did in the past affects
and corresponds with what happens in the future, past and
future lives included.
