and their diaspora. It has historically been used as a geographical,
cultural or religious identifier for people indigenous to the South

9 BASIC
HINDU BELIEFS




1 Reverence for Our Revealed Scriptures

Hindus believe in the divinity of the Vedas, the world's most ancient
scripture, and venerate the Agamas as equally revealed. These primordial
hymns are God's word and the bedrock of Sanatana Dharma, the eternal
religion which has neither beginning nor end.



2 All-Pervasive Divinity

Hindus believe in a one, all-pervasive Supreme Being who is both
immanent and transcendent, both Creator and Unmanifest Reality.



3 Three Worlds and Cycles of Creation

Hindus believe there are three worlds of existence--physical, astral
and causal--and that the universe undergoes endless cycles of creation,
preservation and dissolution.



4 The Laws of Karma and Dharma

Hindus believe in karma--the law of cause and effect by which each
individual creates his own destiny by his thoughts, words and deeds
and in dharma, righteous living.



5 Reincarnation and Liberation

Hindus believe that the soul reincarnates, evolving through many
births until all karmas have been resolved, and moksha--spiritual
knowledge and liberation from the cycle of rebirth--is attained.
Not a single soul will be eternally deprived of this destiny.



6 Temples and the Inner Worlds

Hindus believe that divine beings exist in unseen worlds and that
temple worship, rituals, sacraments as well as personal devotionals
create a communion with these devas and Gods.



7 Yoga Guided by a Satguru

Hindus believe that a spiritually awakened master, or satguru,
is essential to know the Transcendent Absolute, as are personal
discipline, good conduct, purification, pilgrimage, self-inquiry
and meditation.



8 Compassion and Noninjury

Hindus believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered,
and therefore practice ahimsa, "noninjury."



9 Genuine Respect for Other Faiths

Hindus believe that no particular religion teaches the only way
to salvation above all others, but that all genuine religious
paths are facets of God's Pure Love and Light, deserving
tolerance and understanding.
