Hinduism
A wisdom archive on hinduism

Hindusim In principle, Hinduism incorporates all forms of belief and worship without necessitating the selection or elimination of any. No religious idea in India ever dies or is superseded. It is merely combined with the new ideas that arise in response to it. Hindus revere the Divine in every manifestation, are doctrinally tolerant, allowing others to practice their beliefs - whether Hindu or non-Hindu. They regard other forms of worship, strange gods and divergent doctrines as inadequate rather than wrong or objectionable. Hindus believe that Divine powers complement one another and that all religions are merely different paths of reaching the same goal - the 'Par Brahman'.
