' Brahmanism '...

The belief in one true God, Brahman, is at the core of the Hinduism religion. The supreme spirit is celebrated through the symbolism of the Om. The central practice of Brahmanism is sacrifice while Moksha, the liberation, bliss and unification with the Godhead, is the main mission. While the terminology varies by the religious philosopher, Brahmanism is considered to be the predecessor of Hinduism. It is regarded as the same thing due to the Hindus getting their name from the Indus River where the Aryans performed the Vedas. ........................ By N.S. Gill
