It is a peaceful religion.<ref name="Reddy">{{cite book |surname=Reddy |given=Deepa S. |chapter=Ch. 23.

India |isbn=978-81-321-1696-7}}</ref> Hinduism may be more of a custom or tradition of that part of the world which the great epics of Hinduism are supposed to depict.

They differ on how to achieve life's ultimate goal – ''[[Jnana|Atma Jnana]]'' or self-realization. Devotees can choose any path depending on their individual natures.<br />
