Hunduism

  Hinduism is one of the major religion in the world. It is religion that tells about the way of emancipation thorough the development and realization of soul.   It is also called 'Sanatan Dharma'. The word 'Sanatan' is taken from from Sanskrit language which means no ending and no beginning(ever present) and in fact, it is the oldest religion in the world. There is no such exact period when this religion was created but historian predicts it appeared 5000B.C or more. In very ancient days, Hinduism was known as the Arya Dharma and it followers are as Aryan. The river Sindhu(Indus) played a vital role for naming this religion as 'Hindu'. The people who lived near the 'Sindhu' (Indus) were mainly the arayan settlement. The other sides of the Sindhu were Persians and Arabs. They could not utter the word Sindhu properly and thus they called it 'Hind'  or 'Hindus' and arayan people's activities were regarded as Hinduism. From the Persian and Arab the word Hindu travel through west.  Hinduism is a bit different from other religion. There is no single founder of this religion. In ancient days saints and sagas realized the absolute truth and the omniscience God and that time the oracle was expressed from their utterances. They described how they realized the truth and these truth passed through generation to generation. The compilation of that truth is called 'Veda'. Veda is the main holy script of Hinduism.  Hinduism tells about self realization and self development. To attain the supreme ecstasy one has to realize his soul. Soul or self is the supreme concept of Hinduism.
