h the great female goddess Devi) b. belief in Shiva as Destroyer and the Lord of the Dance c. belief in a nearly endless round of rebirths called 'reincarnation' d. all of the above
The three most important Gods in Hindus are Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Being the creator god, Brahma's name sounds very similar to the divine entity known as Brahman. It is Brahma who brought all things into being. Vishnu is known as the Preserver, the second of the important triad of gods; and Shiva is believed as the Destroyer and Lord of the Dance.
Reincarnation is a major tenet of Hinduism. It is when the soul which is seen as eternal and part of a spiritual realm returns to the physical realm in a new body. It is believed a soul will complete reincarnation many times, learning new things each time and working through karma.
