in God.
8.Hindus believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered, and

Hinduism, the world's oldest religion, has no beginning--it precedes
recorded history. It has no human founder. It is a mystical religion,
leading the devotee to personally experience the Truth within, finally
reaching the pinnacle of consciousness where man and God are one.
Hinduism has four main denominations--Saivism, Shaktism,
Vaishnavism and Smartism.
