Introduction to HINDUISM

The Meaning, Definition and Origin of the word “HINDU” It is amusing when westerners mispronounces our simple names. The word HINDU is not a Sanskrit word. Interestingly the word HINDU came into existence because Persians mispronounced a Sanskrit word. ( years)

Persians + Europeans and HINDU Persians referred Indus River as SINDHU. The letter “S” was mispronounced to “H” Hence SINDHU became HINDU. Originally HINDU was referred to the people living near river Indus but not the religion. Further Europeans used HINDU for vast majority of non – Muslim population of India.

Who are Hindus any person of IndAbrahamic ian origin who neither practiced religions nor non-Vedic Indian religions, such as Jainism, Sikhism or BuddhismIndAbrahamic ian originreligionsJainismSikhismBuddhism

Hinduism = Sanātana DharmaSanātana Dharma Meaning ETERNAL LAW

What does HINDU Belief in? GOD is the only method for MUKTI VEDA : Mother of all sastras Rig, Sama, Yajur and Atharva DO Buddhists and Jains belief in this?

Are Buddhist and Jain considered as HINDUS NO!

Why? Tirthankar of Jains and Buddha have taught that to achieve MOKSHA, one did not have to accept the authority of the Vedas or the caste system. Buddha went a step further and claimed that the existence of a Self/soul or God was unnecessary Hence they are not considered as HINDUS nor do they.
