* Belief in an all-pervasive Supreme Being who is both immanent and transcedent, both Creator and Unmanifest reality. The supreme reality becomes manifest in various aspects and forms, and is known by various names. There are various ways by which individuals, in accordance with his/her temperament can realize God.
* belief in karma, the law of cause and effect by which each individual creates his own destiny by thoughts, words and deeds.
* belief in Dharma, Righteousness and good moral and ethical practices. Includes all duties -- individual, social and religious.
* belief that the soul reincarnates, evolving through many births until all karmas have been resolved.
* belief that all souls are evolving towards union with God and will ultimately find moksha: spiritual knowledge and liberation from cycle of rebirth.
* belief in Humanism, Equality of all human beings, regardless of caste, color and creed.
* belief that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered, and therefore practice ahimsa or nonviolence.
* belief that no particular religion teaches the only way to salvation above all others, but that all genuine religious paths are facets of God's pure love and light, deserving tolerance and understanding.
The practice of Hinduism is to help one experience the Divinity that is everywhere and realize the true nature of the Self.
