 [[Hinduism]] is a religious category including many beliefs and traditions.Since Hinduism was the way of expressing meaningful living for a long time, before there was a need for naming it as a separate religion, Hindu doctrines are supplementary and complementary in nature, generally non-exclusive, suggestive and tolerant in content.Most believe that the [[Ātman (Hinduism)|ātman]] (spirit, soul)—the person's true "self"—is eternal.
