God is one, without form or attributes
We can worship god in any form we like as per our mental standards... like mother, father, friends, baby, idol anythign
Karma are responsible for our pains and sufferings
Desire is the reason for our rebirth and till we are not out of the tangle of desire and karma, we can not be enlightened
Enlightenment in hinduism means, merging with the supreme god
Hinduism has two parts...one is ritual (for lower mental standard people) and Philosophy (for higher souls)
The Hindu philosophy mainly deals with the universe and its manifestation, cause of sufferings and removal of sufferings.It also explains the reason why we are here and wat is the purpose of life
Hindus do not condemn non-hindus to hell.. they know everyone is learning lessons as god desiged for them

God has a thousand ( infinite) was to manifest or appear to you.
people are responsible for their actions
People have roles to play at different times in life or if different circumstances.
not all people are equal.
there are different classes of people.
Life is in stages ( four)
death leads to reincarnation and new life.
people are reborn again and again until they learn what they need to learn for spiritual advancement to next plane of existence.
every act has a reaction and as long as you are acting you must take the raction ( karma)
you can escape this karma trap if you do nothing
maybe a wise guru can take some of your karma and set you free,
life has duties at each stage ( dharma)

Spoon feeding milk to statues, and then declaring it to be a miracle when the milk drips down the statue rather than falling straight on the floor.

Hinduism's essence is seeking ultimate freedom from everything...

To summarize Hinduism (I hope this is correct; I personally am not in that religion):
Everything that is: everything in the earth and sky, everything that is man or woman, plant or beast, spirit or god, everything that is or ever was or ever will be, is one being. And you are that.
