	Hinduism Information on Hinduism. Believersweb.org
		Â Â Hinduism was now so philosophical in theory and so corrupt and legalistic in practice that reform movements arose within it.Â Two of the most known were BUDDHISM and JAINISM.Â Another reform was a movement back to the worship of a supreme personal God.Â Not that Hinduism became monotheistic; polytheism was never really eliminated.
		Instead, a TRIAD of Hindu gods was often used to represent the impersonal and absolute Brahman (neuter).Â Brahma (The masculine form of the word Brahman) was regarded as the Creator, VISHNU as the Preserver, and SHIVA as the Destroyer.
		Their polytheistic religion, a sort of proto-Hinduism, was in some ways a form of witchcraft.Â The pre-Vedic Hindus especially worshipped a MOTHER GODDESS and a horned god in the posture of a yogi.Â They offered sacrifices to the various gods, but did not maintain any temples.

	The English Invention of Hinduism ( The Myth of One Hindu Religion Exploded, Ch.5 )
		Indeed, the Aryan race of Brahmins were never the leaders of any of the religions of Dravidian religion, Kolarian religion, Buddhism or Jainism.
		And since the term 'Hindu religion' consists of many religions which have different doctrines and are contrary to each other, there will be leaders for each religion and there cannot be a common leader for all the religions since they are controversial to each other.
		Hinduism is not a revealed religion and, therefore, has neither a founder nor definite teachings or common system of doctrines [ 7 ].
