| | Theravada Buddhism asserts that a person's Kamma is continually reborn until they attain Nirvana, and that rebirth is undesirable; Mahayana Buddhism is more in line with Hinduism with regard to certain beliefs on reincarnation. | | | However, many Hindus believe there is a purgatory-like state analogous to Christianity where Yama, the Hindu deva, or Lord of Death, punishes humans before they reincarnate again. | | | Ayyavazhi like Hinduism asserts that humans are continually reborn, until they reach Dharma Yukam, the union with god as one.There are also claims that Ayyavazhi tells about hell, in the background of some quotes from Akilattirattu Ammanai.However it accepts the ultimate oneness, particularly in Thiruvasakam - 2, and therefore indirectly contrast the concept of hell. |

| | The first evidence of this Syrian monasticism was the B'nai Q'yama and the B'nat Q'yama (the Sons and Daughters of the Covenant), an ascetic group which began in the third century and gained ascendancy in the church during the fourth century. | | | The St. Thomas Christians have by and large remained a relatively small minority in the sea of Hinduism that is southern India, however, and for most of their history have been treated as a separate caste by the Indian rulers, thus hindering their efforts to evangelize those around them. | | | The fourth century brought persecution to the Persian church. |
