Hinduism
A diverse body of religion, philosophy, and cultural practice native to and predominant in India, marked by a belief in reincarnation and a supreme being of many forms and natures, by a desire for liberation from earthly evils, and by the view that opposing theories are aspects of one eternal truth.
Hinduism was founded circa 1500 BC by Aryan invaders of India.
Hindu is a believer in Hinduism, or of or relating to Hinduism or from India.
Hinduism is very diverse in its practices and beliefs. Hindu tradition stresses the right way of living, or dharma. There are many gods and many sects. Their most important beliefs are the samsara cycle of birth and rebirth, and karma, the law by which the consequences of our actions in this life are carried over into the next.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.
Navigation areas are completed, but the word definition pages are not. The
layout in these pages might not look as good as they should. Updating them
may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the
Forums, so we can all discuss the
occult, paranormal and extraordinary, and whatever else we please.
Registration will be required.
Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be
patient and understanding.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

Occultopedia may appear to be a for profit site, but my site is
not really a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate

bandwidth — that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
pages — and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep and maintenance.
