The name hindu comes from the Sanskrit word sindhu, meaning river. In time the land beyond the river became known as the Hind, and the people who lived there known as Hindus. Depsite having a complex religious system, there is no acknowledged human founder. From what we do know, the principle set of beliefs that form the Hindu religion were brought to India by an invasion of Arayan peoples from the plains of Iran. They already had an established religion, primarily based on the worship of Divine Fire, and the original form of Hinduism actually shared a common theological ancestor with the Zoroastrianism - though both sets of people continued to develop their ideas in isolation. Hinduism is best regarded not a single dogmatised set of principles, as much as a cacophony of diverse interpretations of reality, heavily based on a unique pantheism-polytheism. Divine identities remain very much a local phenomena, and even the main Hindu deities sourced from the Rig Veda can have differing attributes according to different areas. On top of that every tribal geography included its own local divinities into the Hindu pantheon, resulting in an extraordinary range of divine figures and images, many of which may share similar features.

Extractions: Der frühe Hinduismus entstand zwischen 1000 und 200 v.Chr. (auch Brahmanismus genannt) durch die Vermischung des nichtarischen einheimischen Drawidenglaubens und der alten arischen Vedenreligion, die die eindringenden Arier (Arya) mitbrachten. Diese sicherten sich damit auch die politische Macht, indem die Brahmanen, die höchste Kaste, allein für die richtige Ausführung der Opferhandlungen zuständig waren (siehe auch Kastensystem). Die Gottheiten der vedischen Zeit waren vor allem Agni, der Gott des Opferfeuers, Surya, der Sonnengott, und Indra, der Gewitter- und Regengott. Es gab 1028 Opfergesänge zur Anrufung der Götter.

Extractions: Jump to Sikhism The name Hinduism means the civilization of the Hindus (originally, the inhabitants of the land of the Indus River). Introduced c. 1830 by English writers, the term properly denotes the Indian civilization of approximately the last 2,000 years, which gradually evolved from Vedism, the religion of the ancient Indo-European peoples who settled in India in the last centuries of the 2nd millenium B.C.E. Because it integrates a large variety of heterogenous elements, Hinduism constitutes a very complex but largely continuous whole, and since it covers the whole of life, it has religious, social, economic, literary, and artistic aspects. As a religion, Hinduism is a diverse conglomerate of doctrines, cults, and ways of life. The diversity of Hinduism makes compiling a list of Internet resources related to Hinduism problematic. Many of the World Wide Web links are personal and highly artistic, which makes it sometimes difficult to find scholarly material valuable to the Religious Studies student. Listed below are what we consider the best available Internet resources on Hinduism. An excellent site which has links to Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, and Sikh texts, as well as historical and modern information about Hindus.

Extractions: whatis.htm WA µr®$µr®$ mBIN ÿ HINDUISM Hinduism comprises many forms of religious faith and practice. One should therefore be aware that all the various facets of Hinduism presented here cannot be found in any single individual or group. Those who attend the brahmanic temples for Vishnu and Shiva would normally not practice the forms of worship found in the villages. The variety of forms of worship thus corresponds to social distinctions in Indian society. But what holds this great variety of worship and faith together? There are certain things which all Hindus agree on: The vedic texts were brought to India by the Arians migrating into India during the second millenium BC. The vedas are composed in sanskrit, and they are recited in Hindu temples by Brahmin priests. The vedic era lasted from ca. 1200-900 BC. The most important element in that form of worship was the sacrifice and teh recitation of holy texts. The most important gods were associated with the forces of nature (see Hindu gods regarding Vedic deities). Te Arian people who brought the vedas to India were herders and warriors, and their deities were predominantly male.

Extractions: "Do not hate your enemy for he may one day become your friend" ~ Ali (ra) "Somebody ought to tell the truth about the Bible. The preachers dare not, because they would be driven from their pulpits. Professors in colleges dare not, because they would lose their salaries. Politicians dare not. They would be defeated. Editors dare not. They would lose subscribers. Merchants dare not, because they might lose customers. Men of fashion dare not, fearing that they would lose caste. Even clerks dare not, because they might be discharged. And so I thought I would do it myself . . . " Robert G. Ingersoll "God sacrificed his own son in place of humans who needed to be punished for their own sins might make some Christians love Jesus, but is an obcene picture of God. It is almost heavenly child abuse, and may infect out imagination at more earthly levels as well. I do not want to express my faith through a theology that pictures God demanding blood sacrifices in order to be reconciled to us." (page 145-146) and "Actually, the fact that we have four gospels lies at the very heart of our problem. Because we read particular parables or sayings or stories in several different versions, we can't miss the disagreements between them"
