Non-Western Religions ~ Hinduism

Now you might be wondering why call it a non-western religion and not eastern religion. Well not all religions are specifically mapped. Non-Western religions originated in China, Japan, and India.  The various religions from these areas would include Taoism (China), Confucianism (China), Shinto (Japan), Buddhism (India), and Hinduism (India).  Three commonalities of these religions include that they are monistic which is being one and having a non-personal ultimate reality, nonlinear is a circle or a cycle belief like we are born, die, and then are reborn, and are praxis is Latin for practices. Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are the gods of Hinduism. I was happy that I knew about Shiva and what she stands for which is destroyer of worlds, death, and sex. Vishnu is the god who keeps the chaos at bay. Last but not least there is Brahma who is the creator of the universe.
