Beliefs

Hinduism is a monotheistic religion that recognizes Brahma as God and the cause and foundation of existence. However Hindu communities may have their own divinities whom they worship yet still is a way of worshipping Brahma.

Hindus recognise three principal gods:

-Brahma, who creates the universe.
-Vishnu, who preserves the universe.
-Shiva, who destroys the universe.

Because Brahma is the creator. he is not worshipped in the same way as other gods or incarnates because his work is done, so Hindus worship other forms of Brahma. While Brahma is still the most important figure in Hinduism the religion is broken down into three sects based upon which form of Brahma they choose to worship.

-Those who worship Vishnu(Also known as the preserver of the world).
-Those who worship Shiva (Also known as the destroyer).
-Those who worship Shakti.

Moksha

Hindus believe that the soul passes through three parts; cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. What happens to your soul during this process is dependent on karma. Moksha is the end of the death and rebirth cycle and is reagrded as the ultimate goal.
