who is the founder of Hinduism?

Answer 1

For hundreds of years, many people have searched for some evidence of the founder of Hinduism. A finger cannot be pointed at a specific founder.

The earliest indications of the term Hindu come from the Punjab and the Indus Valley in India. The culture that was established in the third millennium BC is evidenced in the excavations of two cities. If you lived in that region, no matter what religion you believed, you became known as a Hindu or Hindu Muslim.

There is no known founder of Hinduism, no creed, no single source of authority. All related Hindu philosophies share just a resemblance to each other. There is no defined beginning.

Answer 2

• Many other religions such as Christianity, Judaism or Islam all have a single founder but that’s not the case for Hinduism. • There is no single founder of Hinduism. • Hinduism was not founded as a religion. • It started off as a culture and then turned into a flourishing religion in India.

Answer 3

The answer you are looking for have been eaten by antiquity. Hinduism (AKA Sanatana Dharma or Vaidika Dharma) is the world's oldest religion. Hinduism started before the Hebrews invented YHWH and the Christians invented Jesus Christ.

Hinduism originates from the ancient Vedic tradition and other indigenous beliefs, incorporated over time.The classical theory of the origins of Hinduism traces the religion's roots to the Indus valley civilization circa 4000 to 2200 BCE.

The earliest evidence for elements of Hinduism dates back as far as the late neolithic, to the early Harappan period (ca. 5500–3300 BCE). In recognition of these ancient elements, it is claimed that Hinduism is the oldest surviving religion.

The beliefs and practices of the pre-classical era (ca. 1500-500 BCE) are called the "Vedic religion". The oldest surviving text of Hinduism is the Rigveda and is dated to between 1700–1100 BCE, based on linguistic and philological evidence.
