Ancient Hinduism

Ancient Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world, originating in the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BCE. It evolved from the Vedic traditions, which included sacred texts called the Vedas. Hinduism is characterized by a diverse range of beliefs, practices, and rituals centered around concepts like dharma (duty), karma (action and consequences), and moksha (liberation from the cycle of rebirth). It features a wide array of deities, with spirituality expressed through various paths, including devotion (bhakti), knowledge (jnana), and ethical living (karma). Its rich traditions continue to influence millions today.
