Some Hindus practice polytheism: a belief in or worship of more than one god. Other Hindus practice henotheism: a devotion to one god while accepting the existence of others.

Brahman Brahman: is the supreme god of all gods. An eternal supreme spirit which can take many forms or manifestations of the thousands of gods. Reveals himself in three ways:

#1 Brahma: the creator of the world

#2 Vishnu: preserver of the world

#3 Shiva: destroyer of the world

Hindus also believe in many smaller gods called Devas.

Basic Beliefs: #1 Dharma: natural law or reality; the way of the higher truths. This is an ideal “way of life”.

Basic Beliefs: #2 Samsara: a great revolving door between life and death (reincarnation)

Basic Beliefs: #3 Karma: a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do (actions)

Basic Beliefs: #4 Moksha: release from reincarnation (salvation) by following one of four paths (yogas)

Four Pursuits of life: Moksha: liberation from reincarnation Dharma: righteousness Artha: wealth Kama: pleasure and love
