Hinduism is the world's third largest religion. Here are a few of the many resources on the Internet to help you to understand what Hinduism believes and teaches:
A World Religions Index article at LeaderU on Hinduism: A Christian Perspective by Rick Rood.
A BBC Religions and Ethics page on Hinduism.
For those who are interested in reading the Vedas, here is the text on-line.
There are four Vedas, the Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda and Atharva Veda. The Vedas are the primary texts of Hinduism. They also had a vast influence on Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. The Rig Veda, the oldest of the four Vedas, was composed about 1500 B.C., and codified about 600 B.C. It is unknown when it was finally committed to writing, but this probably was at some point after 300 B.C.
