Brahmanism
The doctrine of the Hindu mystic Brahma and his followers, who claim they are issued from the breath of Brahma and are therefore descendants of a deity of the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity. They are known especially for their minute religious observances, abstemiousness, severe penances, and devotion to divine science, impersonal divinity, and the absolute, self-existent, eternal universe.

Hinduism, Brahmanism
Developed in northern India about 950 BC. The Four Vedas are the sacred books of the Hindi. Hinduism emphasizes the necessity of escaping from material life and of extinguishing desire. Hinduism is very ritualistic and includes extreme self denial and self punishment. Cows are considered sacred as are rivers. Most Hindus believe in the transmigration of souls (reincarnation), where when a person dies, his soul enters the body of a newborn child or even the body of an animal. Over and over. Therefore, devout Hindus will not kill even a fly. They are vegetarians, lest by eating meat they become cannibals. [eng]
