The geography and culture has greatly affected the development of Dharmic religion
Dharmic religions are commonly based on Indian sub continent.
- Hinduism, bhudhism and jainism are all examples of Dharmic religions.
- In India religions originated from 2600 BCE.
- Bhudhism has its origin in Sdharth Gautama from North India, Sikkism is connected to Guru Nanak from Punjab, Jainism also has roots in northern India.
- All these religions shares the idea of Karma, dharma, samsara, moksha and yoga.
- But thre are few differences as well.
- Hinduism believes in multiple gods, Budhism states that there is no god.
- Jainists do not believe in god.
- Sikkism believes in the oneness of god.
- In short these religions developed over the years from one another.
- They are very much interconnected.
- India's culture has played a significant role in this.
- India is naturally protected by Himalaya's in the north and oceans in the other three sides.
- This protected India from foreign invasion for a long time.
- This prevented the intermixing of religions and led to the formation of Dharmic religions.
