Religions of Bharat
India is the birthplace of four of the world's major religions and a sanctuary for many others, weaving a tapestry of diverse faiths coexisting in harmony.
Buddhism
Buddhism,[a] also known as Buddha-dharma and Dharmavinaya, is an Indian religion and philosophy[b] based on teachings attributed to the Buddha, a śramaṇa and religious teacher who lived in the 6th or 5th century BCE.[7] It is the world's fourth-largest religion,[8][9] with about 320 million followers, known as Buddhists, who comprise 4.1% of the global population.[10] It arose in the eastern Gangetic plain as a śramaṇa movement in the 5th century BCE, and gradually spread throughout much of Asia. Buddhism has subsequently played a major role in Asian culture and spirituality, eventually spreading to the West in the 20th century.
Hinduism
Sanatan Dharma, often referred as Hinduism, is a philosophy more than a structured religion. Sanatan means eternal, everlasting cosmic law that rules and guides us all to lead a better life to be one with the true self that is Brahaman.
Sikhism
Sikhism is a monotheistic religion founded in the Punjab region of India in the late 15th century by Guru Nanak. It emphasizes equality, community service, and devotion to one God, with teachings recorded in the Guru Granth Sahib, the central religious scripture.
Jainism
Jainism is an ancient Indian religion that emphasizes non-violence (ahimsa), truth, and asceticism as a path to spiritual purity and liberation (moksha). It teaches that every living being has a soul and advocates for a lifestyle that minimizes harm to all forms of life.
