HINDU

Hindu is the terminology used for followers of Hinduism. See Hinduism. It is a multi-disciplinary religion called Sanatan Dharma based on writings and experiences of sages and scholars through the ages. They assert the view that the permanent, unbreakable, absolute and independent existence of self is what is known as Atma or the Individual Soul. 

There are endless divisions of Hindus systems.  Briefly speaking, they may be widely classified into six fundamental schools, Vaisesika, Naiyayika, Sankhya, Mimasaka, Nirgrantha, and Kokayat or Charvaka. The first five philosophical schools hold views based on eternity oriented realismism or Saswatvad and the last one holds the view of nihilism or Echchedavad. 

Hinduism also advocates different ethical systems and meditation systems. By practicing these systems one can take birth and rebirth until getting merged into Brahmah, the ultimate realm.
