Hinduism is one of the world's oldest religions. It is also the third largest religion, after Christianity and Islam. Hinduism developed from the faith of the Aryans. The sacred writings, called the Vedas, teach the key ideas of Aryan religion. At first, the Vedas had to be memorized by Brahmin priests and spoken out loud. Much later, they were written down in Sanskrit. Over time, the Aryan religion changed as it blended with the ideas of other people of India. This mix of beliefs eventually became Hinduism.
