The religion of Hinduism is one of the most ancient in the world. Despite about 16% of the world population calling it a guiding force in their lives, it has no founder, no common ritual, no common scripture, and no common deity. The core tenet of the religion is that everyone possesses a soul and to escape the cycle of mortal rebirth, one must do good deeds in the hope of having one's temporal soul merge with the divine referred to as Brahman.




Coming into being around the 9th century BCE, it comprises a diverse set of practices which are part of the 4 main texts used as a guide to govern one's conduct. Among its fascinating characteristics is that time is not perceived as continuously linear, but, rather, broken down into cycles.




Also, a curious trait is the concept of dharma which roughly translates to "proper behavior" or "purpose." A human's dharma is to transcend temporality while a bee's dharma is to build a hive and protect its queen. Step into the wondrous and sometimes mysterious world of Hinduism and learn what it's all about.
