Question

Hinduism is a truly unique religion in that it had no founder. It just sort of developed along with the culture and religious traditions of India. Unlike other religions, it doesn't have a single dogma—a system of beliefs—but many. It has numerous subsets, and people who practice Hinduism can have very different ideas or interpretations from each other. Because Hinduism is so diverse, some of its followers believe in multiple gods; others believe in only one; some believe in none. Nearly all believe that the soul is eternal and that a life force, Brahma, exists throughout everything.

One of the beliefs that developed in Hinduism is reincarnation, the idea that our souls migrate to a new body upon death. According to Hinduism, what we come back as depends on our karma, the good or bad actions we commit in our lifetime. Hinduism also stresses meditation. To meditate is to get in touch with Brahma, the universal life force, by relaxing and focusing only on your breath. Meditation is related to yoga, a system of stretching and body movements that have been practiced in some form for thousands of years.
