Hinduism / Sanatan Dharma / The Everlasting Religion

It is world's 3rd largest religion after Christianity and Islam. Hinduism is the dominant religion in India, where Hindus form about 84 per cent of the total population. It is based on the concept that human and animal spirits come back to earth to live many times in different forms. The Hindus believe that a soul moves up and down hierarchy on the basis of behavior.  It says that a person (He or She) is born into the higher class or poverty class depends deeds in past life. Central to it are the concepts of reincarnation, the caste system, merging with Brahman, finding morality, and reaching Nirvana (the peaceful escape from the cycle of reincarnation).
