Hinduism (known as HindÅ« Dharma in some modern Indian languages[1]) is a religion that originated on the Indian subcontinent. In contemporary usage Hinduism is also referred to as SanÄtana Dharma (सनातन धरà¥à¤®), a Sanskrit phrase meaning "eternal law".[2]
With its origins in the Vedic civilization, it has no known founder,[3][4] being itself a conglomerate of diverse beliefs and traditions. It is the world's oldest extant religion,[5][6] and has approximately a billion adherents, of whom about 890 million live in India,[7] placing it as the world's third largest religion after Christianity and Islam. Other countries with large Hindu populations include Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Malaysia.
Hinduism provides a vast body of scriptures. Divided as revealed and remembered and developed over millennia, these scriptures expound on a broad of range of theology, philosophy and mythology, providing spiritual insights and guidance on the practice of dharma (religious living). Among such texts, Hindus revere the Vedas and the Upanishads and consider these as being among the foremost in authority, importance and antiquity. Other major scriptures include the Tantras and the sectarian Agamas, the PurÄá¹as and the epic MahÄbhÄrata and RÄmÄyaá¹a. The Bhagavad GÄ«tÄ, a treatise excerpted from the MahÄbhÄrata, is sometimes called a summary of the spiritual teachings of the Vedas.
