Hinduism is an Indian religion and dharma, or way of life.
It includes a range of philosophies, and is linked by shared concepts, recognisable rituals, cosmology, pilgrimage to sacred sites and shared textual resources that discuss theology, philosophy, mythology, Yoga, and temple building, among other topics.
Hinduism prescribes the eternal duties, such as honesty, refraining from injuring living beings (ahimsa), patience, forbearance, self-restraint, and compassion, among others. Prominent themes in Hindu beliefs include the proper goals or aims of human life : namely, Dharma (ethics/duties), Artha (prosperity/work), Kama (desires/passions) and Moksha (liberation/freedom from the cycle of death and rebirth/salvation). In addition , two popular philosophies are Karma (action, intent and consequences) and Saṃsāra (cycle of death and rebirth). Hinduism is a religion that strongly believes in rebirths where a soul goes from experiencing all forms of life. Hindus are of the opinion that your current actions (Karma) decide the course of your future birth.
