Bare Essentials of Hinduism Hinduism is over
3000 years old, although elements of the faith
are much older. No founder, single teacher, nor
prophets. Not a single unified religion.
Originated near the river Indus. Hindus believe
in a universal soul or God called Brahman.
There are many other deities such as Krishna,
Shiva, Rama and Durga. Hindus believe that
existence is a cycle of birth, death, and
rebirth, governed by Karma.
