Reincarnation is the Hindu what

1 answer

Reincarnation is a fundamental concept in Hinduism that refers to the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth (samsara) that each soul undergoes. According to Hindu beliefs, the soul (atman) is eternal and, after death, it is reborn into a new body. This cycle continues until the soul achieves moksha, which is liberation or release from the cycle of samsara. Moksha is attained through various means such as following one's dharma (duty), devotion, and the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. The process of reincarnation is influenced by one's karma, which is the sum of a person's actions and their ethical consequences, affecting future lives and circumstances.
