The fundamental beliefs of the Hindu Religion are found in the 5 principles & 10 Disciplines.
Principles:
1. God Exists: One Trinity: Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara
2. All human beings are divine
3. Unity of existence through love
4. Religious harmony
5. Knowledge of 3 Gs: Ganga (sacred river), Gita (sacred script), Gayatri (sacred mantra)
10 DISCIPLINES
1. Satya (Truth)
2. Ahimsa (Non-violence)
3. Brahmacharya (Celibacy, non-adultery)
4. Asteya (No desire to possess or steal)
5. Aparighara (Non-corrupt)
6. Shaucha (Cleanliness)
7. Santosh (Contentment)
8. Swadhyaya (Reading of scriptures)
9. Tapas (Austerity, perseverance, penance)
10. Ishwarpranidhan (Regular prayers)
The 10 Disciplines of Hinduism relate closely to the Christian 10 Commandments. The Christian commandments to do not make statements regarding the reading of scriptures and participating in regular prayers, like the 10 Disciplines do, but the foundation of the morals and rules are the same.
