From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Hinduism is the predominant religion of the Indian subcontinent. Hinduism is often referred to as Sanātana Dharma, a Sanskrit phrase meaning "the eternal law", by its adherents. Generic "types" of Hinduism that attempt to accommodate a variety of complex views span folk and Vedic Hinduism to bhakti tradition, as in Vaishnavism. Hinduism also includes yogic traditions and a wide spectrum of "daily morality" based on the notion of karma and societal norms such as Hindu marriage customs. Among its roots is the historical Vedic religion of Iron Age India, and as such Hinduism is often stated to be the "oldest living religion" or the "oldest living major tradition". Hinduism is formed of diverse traditions and has no single founder. Hinduism is the world's third largest religion after Christianity and Islam, with approximately a billion adherents, of whom approximately 905 million live in India. Other countries with large Hindu populations can be found across southern Asia. Hinduism's vast body of scriptures are divided into Śruti ("revealed") and Smriti ("remembered") texts. These scriptures discuss theology, philosophy and mythology, and provide information on the practice of dharma (religious living). Among these texts, the Vedas and the Upanishads are the foremost in authority, importance and antiquity. Other major scriptures include the Purāṇas and the epics Mahābhārata and Rāmāyaṇa. The Bhagavad Gītā, a treatise from the Mahābhārata, spoken by Krishna, is sometimes called a summary of the spiritual teachings of the Vedas. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What are the different material planets in Hinduism? Q. Apparently, there are material planets in hinduism where different demigods/deities/devas reside like the planet Bramhaloka. What exactly are they. Are they just different planets with higher beings of life form? Can any of these planets be proven scientifically, because according to hinduism they exist in this material universe.

Q. What are the major beliefs in Hinduism and Buddhism and how do they effect India? What are some similarities? Asked by Lina - Wed Feb 4 16:29:25 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The major religion in India is Hinduism. Buddhism is just a tiny dot in the vast religious landscape of India today, but because it origined there it is considered an Indian religion. I think that is difficult to say what effect Hinduism had in India because they can't be separated, they are interlinked: Hinduism is an intrinsic part of India and Hinduism can't exist without India. That is one of the reasons why Hinduism did't flourish in countries outside the subindian continent. India is defined by Hinduism. Everything we think we know about India is influenced by Hinduism: the many gods, the caste system, the high acceptance of other creeds. I think that to study Hinduism is to study India.
