Hinduism
 
–

♦
 
The
 
name
 
of 
 
the
 
religion
 
is
 
Hinduism
 
♦
 
The
 
followers
 
of 
 
this
 
religion
 
are
 
called
 
Hindus
 
♦
Earliest
 
forms
 
date
 
to
1500
BC
 
or
 
earlier.
 
Hinduism
 
has
 
no
 
founder
 
and
 
it
 
does
 
not
 
owe
 
its
 
existence
 
to
 
a
 
specific
 
prophet.
 
♦
 
The
 
place
 
of 
 
origin
 
is
 
India
 
♦
 
Can
 
you
 
 become
 
hindu?
 
Yes
 
anyone
 
can,
 
if 
 
they
 
really
 
want
 
to
 
be.
 
But
 
you
 
are
 
not
 
compelled
 
to
 
worship
 
god
 
or
 
to
 
do
 
any
 
other
 
things.
 
That
 
is
 
the
 
main
 
difference
 
from
 
other
 
religions.
 
Hinduism
 
is
 
not
 
a
 
religion.
 
It
 
is
 
a
 
way
 
of 
 
life.
 
If 
 
your
 
heart
 
is
 
pure
 
then
 
you
 
can
 
urself 
 
a
 
hindu.
 
We
 
must
 
accept
 
that
 
some
 
super
 
natural
 
power
 
is
 
making
 
us
 
to
 
work.
 
That
 
super
 
natural
 
power
 
is
 
called
 
as
 
god.
 
If 
 
you
 
think
 
and
 
worship
 
that
 
a
 
tree
 
is
 
that
 
supernatural
 
power
 
certainly
 
it
 
is
 
so.
 
So
 
we
 
can
 
become
 
a
 
hindu
 
by
 
being
 
pure.

Hinduism

not
 
have
 
a
 
hierarchical
 
authority
 
structure

do
 
some
