Life Lessons From Lord Krishna That Everyone Should Learn

Hindu Mythology

Hinduism is the oldest belief system in the world. It is the only ancient religion that is alive even today, millennia after it originated in the heart of the sub-continent. Ancient Indians practiced the Sanatan Dharma, and to this day, millions of Hindus all over the world, continue to believe in the polytheistic pantheon worshipped by their ancestors.

Over the eons, Hinduism has developed into a highly personalised religion with very few restrictions as each person is allowed to look for his own path to reach the Almighty. One has to listen to his own voice of conscience - the God within - to decide what is right for him. The only requirement to be adhered to is to follow the path of Truth for as the Hindus believe, Good always triumphs over Evil.
