I. The Hindu Cosmos
The Cosmos were created by Brahama. Although Braham was the creator he is worshipped very little, but he is still deeply respected. There is a sort of Trinity of Gods or (Trimurti) as it is called. First there is Brahama or ( The Creator), Shiva or (The Destroyer) which symbolizes stopping the body to free the soul and Vishnu who is the preserver. Vishnu is the good and kind God. He saves the world from many catastrophe. There are also many different Gods who come in different forms to represent many meanings, they all have different responsibilites.
II. What's Really There
According to Hindu Cosmos Brahman (The creator) means everything created is seen as being one. God is everywhere not so much in a physical sense but in spirit. Braham is in all things. Everything is united into one devine being. The soul and Brahman is one. Hindus believe that souls are not created and they cannot be destroyed. They believe that when you die your soul gets reborn in another body. It is called reincarnation.
III. The Life Negating View
Karma will determine what your next rebirth will be. If you have been a good person in your words thoughts and deeds then you will be born into a better life. If you were not so good person then you would be born into a poorer life.
To get out of a bad life without being reborn into another bad life you need to gain what is called moksha. It is to understand that atman or your soul and Braham are the same. Braham is the reason for all existance. He is everywhere and his power is infinate.
