Did you know about Hinduism?

 Hinduism is a dharmic culture of the people of the land of Hind, that believes in karma, dharma, non- violence (ahimsa) and reincarnation. Hinduism is not a religion,it is not one single organised faith. 

In Hinduism ,depending on your approach to path to god,you might not only have your community's persionalised kul-dev but also you will see same gods in different avatars with different names in different Parts of India as well completely different gods in different parts of India, meaning to say the so called religion of Hinduism is not well organised. (One God but ,many paths.) 

If you a sikh category of Hindu then you probably won't have different avatars of gods and won't have same gods as other hindus and won't have kul-devatas. But all of the Hindus have a common belief in the karma and dharma and reincarnation irresepctive of which Hindu God you pray. 

Jainism and Buddhism got its roots from Hindu Culture. The so called religion of hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism all of them are based on the Hindu Concepts of karma and reincarnation. All of the 3 religions have the same basis of philosophy and all have concepts of Moksha (Liberation) and enlightenment. 

All of these three ideologies advice us to be a good human being caring for other humans as well as animals thats why vegetarinism is central idea of all of this three religions whether all followers adopt vegetrainism or not.  

Hinduism is a philoshophy of way of life including nature, spirit, karma, and behaviour. This means when you start some good initiative in your locality, next generation will follow you. 

In Hinduism,the main point here is: You are god. l'm god. Everyone of us has god within us. 

It's your choice either you follow one Ideology or many. No one in universe has right to question you. Because of our this philosophy, so many great gurus like buddha emerged from india.

 l am myself an agnostic. Buddha and Mahavir both got enlightgement and both were gurus. 

Geeta and ramayana are basically story books which most religious people claim these stories to be true.These books may give guidance but do not preach any laws or dictatorship unlike in case of most Abrahamic faiths.These books are written by sage man/gurus/sadhus but these are not written by prophet or gods. So,there is no one single prophecy in Hinduism.

Humans are the most creative species on the planet earth. They were afraid of natuaral phenomeneon which they did not understood scientifically thinking that god is cursing them for their bad deeds leading to some inhuman practices such as animal and child scarifice for example.Religion could have given them hope. Thats why religions got created. 

In most cases in ancient times many group of people lived in almost complete isolation with one another and thats why so many diverse faith system were created.For some,one belief system was not enough,wanted to worhip more gods to get the blessings from as many gods as possible and hence this was also reasion for creation of multiple faiths.And there can be even more reasions for why so many diverse religions got created. 

According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world.
