What is Pind daan

Introduction:

Hinduism is often referred to as a "way of life" or a "family of religions" rather than a single, organized religion because it embraces a wide range of religious ideas. Most forms of Hinduism are henotheistic, worshiping a single deity known as "Brahman" while recognizing the existence of other gods and goddesses. Hindus believe in concepts such as sansara (the cycle of life, death, and reincarnation) and karma (the law of cause and effect). The fundamental belief in Hinduism is the existence of the soul, referred to as atma (soul) which is considered part of the supreme soul.
