Learn how and why Hinduism has survived as one of the oldest and largest world religions with nearly a billion followers located mostly in India. Hinduism encompasses wide practices and traditions largely due to its great capacity to integrate the new with the old. Students will learn about the descendants of the Indus River Valley, who around 1500 B.C.E., used Sanskrit to transcribe their daily rituals and customs. Students will also discover Hinduism's impact on the literary world with its library of tens of thousands of sacred hymns and poems known as the Vedas, which means "truth" or knowledge". |
