Detailed explanation-1: -Hinduism has no formal conversion into or excommunication from the faith. A Hindu views the entire universe as God’s and everything in the universe as God. Hindus believe that each person is intrinsically divine and the purpose of life is to seek and realise the divinity within all of us.
Detailed explanation-2: -A BLEND OF RELIGIONS – As Hinduism developed over 3, 500 years, it absorbed many beliefs from other religions. Hinduism became very complex over time, with many different practices existing side by side. Hindus believe that since people are different, they need many different ways of approaching god.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hinduism has also influenced the development of other religions, such as Sikhism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The chakra system (wheels of energy in the body) and notions of karma, and Atman (the concept of one’s inner soul) have also influenced the development of the above religions.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, Hinduism may be considered a monotheistic religion as most Hindus believe in one supreme god whose qualities and forms may be represented by a multitude of deities, all which emanate from Him. Hindus believe that The Brahman is manifested as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
