Hinduism is one of the important religions of the world. Do you know who founded it? Nobody.
Yes, that is its novel trait. There is no known founder. It is stated to have been found long, long ago by many unknown sages. It is said that these ancient sages discovered certain Truths. But, they did not claim that they found them. They felt that the Truths which they learnt must have come from God, the source from which everything in creation had come. They, therefore, preferred to remain anonymous. They considered these Truths sacred and they did not put them in writing. These were learned by subsequent generation of sages only by hearing and not by reading. Later, Sage Vyasa compiled these Truths and classified them into four major categories called Vedas-the Rig Veda, The Yajur Veda, the Sama Veda and the Atharvana Veda.
According to Hinduism the Divine Truths propounded by the Vedas are eternal (Sanatana). Hence, Hinduism is actually called as Sanatana Dharma or Vedic Religion.
Hinduism, like many other religions, believes that there is only one God. This God is the Supreme and is equally present everywhere. The most important message of the Vedas is that everything and every being is Divine.
According to the Vedas, there is one and only one God who is referred to as ‘Brahman’. It is said that by His mere will, Brahman manifests Himself as this universe. Hence, creation, preservation and destruction of this world are the three aspects of God. These three basic aspects of God are represented by the Trinity called as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The other gods and goddesses of Hinduism personify the various other endless powers and aspects of God.
Hinduism has many scriptures to explain the Truths propounded by the Vedas. But, these Truths are difficult to comprehend. Therefore, the sages of India created a special type of religious literature called the Puranas. The Puranas present the scriptural teachings through stories and
