	Hinduism 2 - Crystalinks
		Originally, the design of the Hindu temple may have borrowed from the Buddhist precedent, for in some of the oldest temples the image was placed in the centre of the shrine, which was surrounded by an ambulatory path resembling the path around the Buddhist stupa (a religious building containing a relic).
		Hinduism and Buddhism had an immense impact on the civilizations of Southeast Asia and contributed greatly to the development of a written tradition in that area.
		The civilizations of Southeast Asia developed forms of Hinduism and Buddhism that had distinctive local features and were attuned to the local cultures, but the framework of their religious life was essentially Indian.

	Hinduism - Crystalinks
		Hindus believe in an uncreated, eternal, infinite, transcendent, and all-embracing principle, which, "comprising in itself being and non-being," is the sole reality, the ultimate cause and foundation, source, and goal of all existence.
		Hindus generally accept the doctrine of transmigration and rebirth and the complementary belief in karma, or previous acts as the factor that determines the condition into which a being, after a stay in heaven or hell, is reborn in one form or another.
		Hinduism arose from the continued accretion of further elements derived from the original non-Aryan inhabitants, from outside sources, and from the geniuses of individual reformers at all periods.

	Hinduism - Gurupedia
		To the Hindu, this idea has been an active force in defining the 'Eternal Dharma.' It has been for Hinduism what the infinite Divine Self of Advaita is to existence, remaining forever unchanged and self-luminous, central and pervasive, in spite of all the chaos and flux around it.
		Hinduism is practiced through a variety of Yogas (spiritual practices), primarily bhakti (loving devotion), karma Yoga (selfless service), Raja Yoga (meditational Yoga) and Jnana Yoga (Yoga of discrimination).
		The Uttara ("later") Mimamsa school is perhaps one of the cornerstone movements of Hinduism and certainly was responsible for a new wave of philosophical and meditative inquiry, renewal of faith, and cultural reform.

	Hinduism
		Hinduism has often been confused to be polytheistic as many of Hinduism's adherents are monists, and view multiple manifestations of the one God or source of being.
		Hinduism rests on the spiritual bedrock of the Vedas, hence Veda Dharma, and their mystic issue, the Upanishads, as well as the teachings of many great Hindu gurus through the ages.
		Thus, Hindu image worship is a form of iconolatry, in which the symbols are venerated as putative sigils of divinity, as opposed to idolatry, a charge often levied (erroneously) at Hindus.

	Hinduism Today \| Dec 1993
		With references to the ancient spread of Hinduism throughout Southeast Asia, quotes from the Vedas and citations of the strength overseas Indians get from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, the unstated ancient culture referred to was clearly Hindu based.
		Of course Christians and Muslims also emigrated, and the conference followed non-sectarian lines, but Hindus comprise 75% of the Indian diaspora, which means the scattering of a people with a common origin.
		But Mauritius is the sole nation of the diaspora where Hindus, 52% of the nation, became the government.
