Hinduism

Hinduism encompasses a wide variety of beliefs originating in India.

Most Hindus believe that God takes many forms and is worshipped by many different names. Each person and every creature embodies a spark (atman) of the universal soul, equated with God. After death the atman is reborn in a new body. Thus God is in every object in the universe, and everything that exists-humans animals, earth, air, water,-fire-is part of God. Hindus believe that every action, good or bad, hurtful or compassionate, has an effect on this life and on future lives. This is called Karma. By letting go of Karma Hindus can eventually break free from the cycles of life and death and achieve union with God.
