Hinduism
In Vedic (Hinduism) religion, individual salvation is not, as is often incorrectly alleged, pursued to the neglect of collective well-being. "The principle on which the Vedic religion is founded," observes the Sage of Kanchi, "is that a man must not live for himself alone but serve all mankind." Varna dharma in its true form is a system according to which the collective welfare of society is ensured. Hinduism, which teaches that we are caught in a cycle of death and rebirth called saṃsāra, contains a slightly different sort of soteriology, as noted above, devoted to the attainment of transcendent moksha (liberation). For some, this liberation is also seen as a state of closeness to Brahman.
Westerners coined the name "Hinduism" itself as a convenience to encompas a constellation of different paths to moksha, based upon the Vedas, India's original religious texts. “In India,” wrote Mircea Eliade, “metaphysical knowledge always has a soteriological purpose.”
