With its cyclical notion of time, Hinduism teaches that the material world is created not once but repeatedly, time and time again. Additionally, this universe is considered to be one of many, all enclosed "like innumerable bubbles floating in space." Within this universe, there are three main regions: the heavenly planets, the earthly realm and the lower worlds. Scripture goes into some detail as to the nature of these regions and their respective inhabitants.

The most important attributes of this type of leader are self-confidence, determination, vision, and motivation which inspire followers to embrace the proposed change. In addition to having a moral purpose and a compelling vision for the future, transformational leader also “sets a personal example for followers to emulate and demonstrates confidence in the proposed new direction through frequent communications and interactions with other group members” (Golensky, 2011, p. 73).

The Question of Origin – Hinduism offers multiple theories of where mankind began and leaves the question of the universe’s beginning un-answered. Out of the various theories, there is a consensus that mankind began with the deity Brahma, the Creator. Brahma is described as being self- born from a lotus with four heads and four arms. Brahma forms a trinity or triumvirate along with Vishnu, who sustains the creation, and Shiva, the destroyer of the evil. Brahma created all other deities before he split himself into the first man called Svayambhuva Manu and a woman called Satarupa, with whom mankind began. Brahma, out of himself, also created all other living things; animals, plants, the sun, the moon, the wind etc. Their Gods represent Brahma in

The Hindu concept of the universe being the same no matter how zoomed in or out is nearly the same idea as fractal geometry. Fractals are also found in Hindu thought in the idea the single human can contain all of the cosmos and while also existing in all the cosmos without any differentiation between the two. In life, there is a cycle that includes creation, sustenance, and dissolution that truly repeat endlessly. When life ends, the body is used as soil and, according to Hindu tradition, the soul repeats according to its Karmic path. It is believed that the expansion of this universe is transient and infinite all at once because life begins and ends all the time; matter is shared and passed on every second of every
According to the beliefs of Hindus, there is one supreme power that controls the entire universe, rests in the vast skies and is taking care of everyone and everything. That premier power is a spirit of the god that can take different forms of gods and goddesses and has a story and reason behind its existence. One the many myths about creation start with darkness that shadowed darkness with absolutely no base between the heaven and the earth. A humongous cobra with lord Vishnu wrapped in its endless loops, floated on the tides of a vast dark ocean, swirling in nothingness. The tranquil and undisturbed surroundings kept Vishnu asleep for days as he dreamt and swayed in peace until he heard a continuous noise humming Aum (or Om).

The Vedic age in India started around 1500 BC with the arrival of Aryans, an Indo-European tribe from central Asia near the Caspian Sea. Aryans settled along the banks of the Indus and its tributaries in the northern part of the subcontinent. Initially, it was a tribal society centered in northwest India and by 1000 BC, it spread along the Gangetic plain with the development of modern agriculture. Aryans dominated the local indigenous population and often ruled over them. Over time, the interbreeding with the local residents led to the emergence of mixed culture. The Vedic age lasted from 1500 BC to 500 BC. Agriculture and cattle rearing were the main occupations of the people. The Vedas and Upanishads were written during this period. The
