No single founder.
No single book.
No single set of rules.
And yet followed by more than a billion people for over 4,000 years.
Hinduism is not a religion the way most people use that word.
It is a civilization.
A living tradition so vast it contains monotheism, polytheism, pantheism, and even atheism all under one roof.
This episode examines Hinduism completely and honestly.
Its ancient origins in the Indus Valley.
Its foundational concepts of Brahman, Atman, Karma, and Moksha.
Its sacred texts from the Vedas to the Bhagavad Gita.
How it spread across Asia without conquest.
And the 7 toughest questions it must face including the caste system, the problem of evil, and the scientific challenge to reincarnation.
