Hinduism is the dominant religion in India Nepal, and among the Tamils in Sri Lanka. There are about 1.1 million Hindus in the USA, and about 157,015 in Canada. Hinduism has traditionally been one of the most tolerant of all religions. Hinduism is not strictly a religion. It is based on the practice of Dharma, the code of life. Hinduism is both a monotheistic and a henotheistic religion. Hindus believe in one supreme God who created the universe, and who is worshipped as light, love, and consciousness. Hindus believe in reincarnation. In the old days, Hindu men and women used to put a dot in the middle of their foreheads and they both also wore earrings. The dot has a mystical meaning, for it represents the Third Eye or spiritual sight, which Hindus seek to awaken through Yoga. Today, only the most traditional men observe this, but women continue to follow these traditions. Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world. Hinduism does not promote idol worship. The Bhagavad Gita is the holy bible of the Hindus. Bhagavad Gita means "divine song." My report on Hinduism has finally come to a conclusion.
