Since Hinduism isn't an organized religion, there is no single or systematic approach to understanding or teaching its "value system", however there are several core beliefs that are held across the religion which help us grasp their basic ideology. The only god that Hindus believe in is Brahman, a formless yet eternal being. Along with their god, Hindu scriptures can be found in The Vedas, which contains revelations received by ancients in the religion. Those who practice Hinduism most likely hold the belief that truth is eternal. However even more importantly, the main goal of Hinduism is to achieve Dharma, which is essentially one's true calling or purpose in life. The ideology of Hinduism suggests that our souls are immortal, meaning that the actions of a soul residing in a body will reap the consequences of those actions in the next life. Same soul, different body. The final notable aspect of the ideology is the concept of Moksha. For Hindus, this is the ultimate goal of the soul. It is a process of liberation where the soul is released from the consistent cycle of death followed by rebirth. This is instead where the soul meets with Brahman. Path of duty, knowledge, and devotion are what brings a soul to Moksha.
