The
Denominations of Hinduism
The faith can essentially be broken
down into four forms: Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, and Smartism. These four
denominations are further broken down into sects. A grouping tends to be
characterized by its monist or dualist beliefs.
Dualism refers to the Hindu belief
that the “soul” (atman) and the “supreme spirit” (Brahman) are distinct. Monism
refers to the Hindu belief that the atman and Brahman are one and the same.
