Beliefs
Hinduism
refers to a religious mainstream which evolved organically and spread over a
large territory marked by significant ethnic and cultural diversity. This
mainstream evolved both by innovation from within, and by assimilation of
external traditions or cults into the Hindu fold. The result is an enormous
variety of religious traditions, ranging from innumerable small,
unsophisticated cults to major religious movements with millions of adherents
spread over the entire subcontinent. The identification of Hinduism as an
independent religion separate from Buddhism or Jainism consequently hinges on
the affirmation of its adherents that it is such.
Hinduism
conceives the whole world as a single family that deifies the one truth, and
therefore it accepts all forms of beliefs and dismisses labels of distinct
religions which would imply a division of identity. Hence, Hinduism is devoid
of the concepts of apostasy, heresy and blasphemy.
Prominent themes in Hindu beliefs include (but are not restricted to), Dharma (ethics/duties), Samsāra (The continuing cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth), Karma (action and subsequent reaction), Moksha (liberation from samsara), and the various Yogas (paths or practices).
