Hinduism
differs from Christianity and other Western religions in that it
does not have a single founder, a specific theological
system, a single
system of principles, or a central religious organization. It consists
of "thousands of different religious groups that have evolved
in India since 1500 BCE." Hinduism originated in India. |

Hinduism
is the dominant religion in India, Nepal, and among the Tamils in
Sri Lanka.
According to the "Yearbook of American & Canadian
Churches," there are about 1.1 million Hindus in the U.S. |
Hinduism is generally regarded as the world's oldest organized religion.
Hinduism is both a religion and a way of life. India gave to the world
the original, oldest and most profound philosophy of life. |

The
brilliant ancestors of present-day indians explored the Truth behind
our existence and gave several philosophies
and theories to define the
Truth. At the same time, they created a set of rules for "good living" on
this earth. |
