Hinduism, known as Sanātana Dharma (सनातन धर्म) or "eternal order," is the world's oldest living religion. It's not just a religion but a way of life that encompasses spirituality, philosophy, and cultural practices.
| Deity | Role | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Brahma | Creator | Creates the universe and all forms of life |
| Vishnu | Preserver | Maintains cosmic order and dharma |
| Shiva | Transformer | Dissolves the universe for renewal |
Hinduism teaches that the divine is present in all things and that the ultimate goal of life is to realize one's true nature as eternal, blissful consciousness. Through devotion (bhakti), knowledge (jnana), action (karma), and meditation (raja yoga), one can progress on the spiritual path.
