Hindu religious philosophy is based on eperiene, on personal discovery and testing of things. It does not say, "believe as others do or suffer." Rather, it says, "know thy self, inquire and be free." There are no heretics in Hinduism, for God is everywhere and in all things.

"In all worlds He is, the Holy Lord. In darkness He is, light He is. In sun He is, in moon He is. Everywhere He is. The Lord is in all creation. none knows His coming and going. He is distant. he is near. Multiple He is. OneHe is. Water, earth, sky, fire and wind, the spark within the body-all these He is. he is the walking jiva here below. Deathless He is."

What Do Most Hindus Believe?

1 hindus believe in the divinity of the Vedas, the worlds most ancient scripture, and venerate the Agamas as equally revealed. These primordial hymns are Gods word and the bedrock of Sanatana Dharma, the eternal religion which has neither beginning nor end.

2 Hindus believe in a one, all pervasive Supreme Being who is both immanent and transcendent, both Creator and Unmanifest Reality.

3. Hindus believe that the universe undergoes endless cycles of creation, preservation and dissolution.

4. Hindus believe in karma, the law of cause and effect by which each individual creates his own destiny by his thoughts, words and deeds.

5. Hindus believe that the soul reincarnates, evolving through many births until all karmas have been resolved, and moksha, a spiritual knowledge and liberation from the cycle of rebirth, is attained. not a single soul will be eternally depreived of this destiny.

6. Hindus believe that divine beings exist in unseen worlds and that temple worship, rituals, sacraments as well as personal devotionals create a communion with these devas and Gods.

7. Hindus believe that a spiritually awakened master, or satguru, is essential to know the Transcendent Absolute, as are personal discipline, good conduct, purification, pilgrimage, self-inquiry and meditation.

8. hindus believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered, and therefore practice ahimsa, "noninjury".

9. Hindus believe that no particular religion teaches the only way to salvation above all others, but that all genuine religious paths are facets of Gods Pure Love and Light, deserving tolerance and understanding.





All Hindus worship one Supreme Reality, though they call it by many names, and teach that all souls will ultimately realize the truth of the Vedas and Agamas. Hindus believe that there is no eternal hell, no damnation. They concur that there is no intrinsic evil. All is good. All is God.
