Hinduball

Hinduism is a set of traditions from the Hindus and is recognized as the oldest religion. WIP

Origin
Originated from ancient Indo-Aryans, as the Vedicball religion. It was spreaded upon the indian-subcontinent and over time they adapted other gods from other cultures this causing a disagreement between the diferent tribes upon the theological concepts which leaded to the creation of Buddhismball and  Jainismball who don't recognize Brahma thus ending the Vedic period.

The Brahmanic faith was being forgotten alongside the Vedic tradition, during this time many Hindus adopted Buddhismball as their religion.

Golden age
The Gupta Empire became the most powerfull in all of India, spreading the ancient Vadic traditions which merged into what we can call early-Hinduism who also incorporated traditions from Buddhismball.

Islamic invations
Many muslism invaded the Hinduist kingdoms from Persia, this leaded to a period of time where the Hindus where hunted for their religion.

Colonial period
When the British arrived and colonized India, the Hindus where a bit protected by state, this and the administration which considered all the traditions as Hindu religion leaded to the "unification" of Hinduism and creation of the Indian identity.

Reincarnation
One of the basic ideas on Vedic religions is that the world is cyclic, everything dies and the true self comes in a new form, this is called Samsara. In later Hinduism was introduced the Buddhist concept of Karma where your actions reflect in your outcomes, good actions bring good outcomes and bad actions, bad outcomes. Those with normal Karma would come back to life in a new body, a new opportunity.

Naraka
The Hindu equivalent of hell, is where the wrost people go and suffer from tortures in 28 hells depending on your sin.

Purusharthas
According to Hinduism, the most important things in life are:
 * Dharma, In Hinduism the natural order (rta) is the right path where you are well behaved, educated and good in general, to Hinduism the good is the part of Brahma of everyone and as such is the natural path while the bad is made by egoism and materialism.
 * Artha, Having a good and wealthy live if one of the most important things in hinudism.
 * Kama, Hedonism (enjoyement of live, not necessary sexual) is an important part of life according to Hinduism and Buddhism. This most be valanced or otherwise you fall in excess and bad Karma.
 * Moksa, One of the objectives in live according to Hindu religions is have a perfect Karma one would transcend into Nirvana abandoning our plane getting rid of suffering, having infinite freedom abandoning the death-live cycle and forming part of Brahma. Like Karma this concept was introduced into early Hinduism from Buddhism.

Cows
In Hinduism, cows are a benevolent creature that represents nature alongside goodness, and as such is sacred.

The universe
In Hinduism, everything is part of Brahma but due to materialism over time it was being separated until the end of the universe. In Hinduism every living and non-living creature is part of Brahma but is not aware of it.

Yugas
In Hinduism the cycle of the universe is divided in four ages or "Yugas" with different characteristics, as they are cyclic the last one leads to the first. After the destruction of the universe starts a new one where everyone is more close to Brahma and as such they didn't die, this the golden age. On this period Kali Ma regain one of her legs while the Dharma had three, this represents that moral was prevalent during this time but Kali Ma destructive influence was comming back.
 * Satya
 * Treta

In various events the avatars of Vishnu made presence but various details change depending upon the denomination. This period changes characteristics depending on the denomination but in general most of Hindu rituals came from here according to the tradition and people start to separate further. For more information see Kali Ma The current Yuga is where Kali Ma destructive and materialistic influence is prominent as people abandon their morals further focusing on the material world. Meanwhile Kali Ma destroys various parts of the universe on her revenge.
 * Dvapara
 * Kali

In this period Vishnu comes in his last avatar do purify the world. However this would lead to the destruction of the universe. After this Brahma creates the universe once again on the Dvapara.

Colors
In Hinduhism colors have different meanings. Orange is a sacred color that represents fire, which purifies. Blue represents strength. Green represents nature, and for extension knowledge.
 * Orange
 * Blue
 * Green

Gods
Hindus recognize the existence of many gods but worship one main god who varies depending on the denomination, also this gods can have many "avatars" since they are over understanding.

In Hinduism every god has their own symbols and weapons, this is why they have multiple arms.

The constant in Hinduism is that Brahma one way or the other created the universe out of himself after the destruction of the previous one.
