Hindu Spirituality

 

Hindus believe that the true spirit of every person is eternal. Hinduism embraces a supreme personal God and the concept of Karma.

 

Karma involves universal moral law and if a person follows the law by being spiritually true, then during the next life, that person will be someone who is closer to God. Closeness to God is identified by the caste into which a Hindu is born.
