| | Great World Religions: Hinduism (Detailed Description) |
| | Hinduism is the world's oldest living religious tradition, with roots deep in the early cultures of India. | | | In Hinduism you will find a religion that is perhaps the most diverse of all, that worships more gods and goddesses than any other, and which rejects the notion that there is one path to the divine. | | | The story of Hinduism is the story of very un-Western traditions—arranged marriages and the caste system—that have survived and thrived for thousands of years; and of a wealth of gods, terms, and practices—karma, Krishna, yoga, guru—that have found a home in Western lives and language. |

| | Research Project on Hindu Dharma Indonesia |
| | Like the reform movement of Indonesian Islam or of Indian Hinduism in the 19th century, the "Hindu-Balinese" reform sects of the early 20th century were inspired by European ideas of public education as well as social welfare and tried to "purify" their religious tradition by getting rid of obsolete customary "aberrations". | | | This re-interpretation of the "theology" of Balinese Hinduism was finally accepted, and in 1962 "Hinduism" was acknowledged as one of Indonesia's religions by the Department of Religious Affairs. | | | The Vedas as well as the Bhagavadgita conceived by the divine seers (resi) were presented as equivalents to the Alqur'an and the Holy Bible which God had revealed to Mohammad and the Apostles respectively. |

| | Hinduism Glossary |
| | In the early Vedic religion, this was the focus of worship by the Brahmins. | | | In Hinduism, this goal is usually that of moksha, the release of the soul from cycle of death and rebirth (samsara). | | | One of the recurring goals in Hinduism is to understand the link between Brahman-the force behind the cosmos-and the Atman--the soul of each individual human. |

| | Evidence of the prevalence of Hinduism and its cults of the sun and mother goddess in the Munda and Oraon region dates back to the early medieval age. | | | The origin of the Hindu shrine of Kamakhya, near Guwahati is attributed to the Khasis. | | | The legendary Munda hero Birsa, who is revered as 'Birsa Bhagwan' was in fact dissatisfied with the teachings of the missionaries who hurt the feelings of the tribals by speaking ill of their religions and left his earlier association with them. |

| | Hindu Philosophy [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | In the context of Hinduism, the Pūrvamīmāmsā school is one of the most orthodox of the Hindu philosophical schools because of its concern to elaborate and defend the contents of the early, ritually oriented part of the Vedas. | | | Hinduism is one of the worlds oldest religious traditions, and it is founded upon what is often regarded as the oldest surviving text of humanity: the Vedas. | | | Indeed, many Hindus belong to sectarian traditions (such as Vaisnavism, or Śaivism) that specify that only one deity (Visnu, in the first case, or Śiva, in the second), or a very small set of deities, are genuine Gods, and subordinate the rest of the pantheon associated with Hinduism to the status of exalted beings. |
