Hinduism is characterized by its diverse pantheon of deities, sacred texts such as the Vedas and Upanishads, and concepts like Karma (action), Dharma (duty) and Moksha (salvation). Hinduism accommodates various sects, each with its own interpretations and emphasis. Some prominent sects include Vaishnavism, which worships Vishnu and his avatars like Rama and Krishna; Shaivism, devoted to Shiva as the supreme deity; and Shaktism, centered around the worship of the divine feminine, often personified as Devi or various goddesses. Bhakti is a devotional sect within Hinduism that emerged in medieval India, emphasizing personal devotion (Bhakti) to a chosen deity as a means of spiritual realization and liberation. Bhakti practitioners express deep love, devotion, and surrender to their chosen deity, often through rituals, prayers, chanting, and songs. The movement transcends caste, creed, and social status, advocating for an inclusive approach to spirituality.
