Hinduism


http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/india/religion/hinduism.htm
This site is about Hinduism.
The word "Hindu" come from the river Indus. It just mean the people live near the river.
The Harappa people that live near thiof Harappans river at 2500 BC carve images of many gods. No one knows the writing , so we don't know what they called their gods.



http://hinduism.iskcon.com/concepts/106.htm
This site is about moksha. I read the first paragraph. Mokasha means liberation. It means that soul get destroy, pr means the last goal of life. The differences of opinion center on the accurate nature of moksha.

This site is mpre easy, is about HInduism. Hiduism is an ancient religion that don't have founder. And we don't know what data of origin. Almost all of Hindus worship a God or many Gods. They believe rebirth a lot, and value the practice that of meditation.And their festive holidays like Diwali and Holi.
