| | Hinduism |
| | Hinduism recognizes thousands of lessor Gods that all come under the umbrella of the one God Brahman. | | | Hindus generally accept the doctrine of transmigration and rebirth and the complementary belief in karma, or previous acts as the factor that determines the condition into which a being, after a stay in heaven or hell, is reborn in one form or another. | | | Although those Hindus who particularly worship either Vishnu or Siva generally consider one or the other as their "favourite god" (istadevata) and as the Lord (Isana) and Brahman in its personal aspect, Vishnu is often regarded as a special manifestation of the preservative aspect of the Supreme and Siva as that of the destructive function. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hinduism |
| | Hinduism in its narrower sense, is the conglomeration of religious beliefs and practices existing in India that have grown out of ancient Brahminism, and which stand in sharp contrast to orthodox, traditional Brahminism to-day. | | | Hinduism is thus a national, not a world religion, it has never made any serious effort to proselytize in countries outside of India. | | | In Hinduism, as distinguished from the heretical sects of India, it is of minor importance what sort of worship is adopted, provided one recognizes the supremacy of the Brahmins and the sacredness of Brahmin customs and traditions. |

| | Hinduism is commonly thought of as a religion, but this is an inaccuracy, it is a Way in which most of the people of India who are not Muslim live. | | | Hinduism is presented because it has developed many mystics and yoga techniques, and not to mention many occultists were interested in it. | | | No definition or category defines Hinduism since it is said to be a combination of religious beliefs, rites, customs, and daily practices, many of which appear overtly secular but in most instances have religious origins and sanctions. |

| | Buddhism was absorbed into the parent religion within a few centuries and Hinduism, as the Vedic religion had come to be called, adopted the theory of the Avataras or incarnations according to which the Buddha himself was accepted as Avatara. | | | Hindus, and even Muslims and Christians, perform vows in this shrine with belief in the efficacy of the god's protective help. | | | Sanghatan, organization of the Hindus for self-defence, is one of the main principles of the Arya Samaj, and it has played its part as the church militant in the Hindu fold. |
