Fascinating Fact:

Many Hindus believe in rebirth, sometimes called reincarnation. They believe the soul is born again into a new life.

In KS2 Religious Education, pupils explore Hindu ideas about the soul, the cycle of life and death, and how actions are linked to future lives through beliefs such as karma and rebirth.

Key Terms

Reincarnation: The belief that when someone dies, their soul begins another life in a new body.
Karma: The idea that actions have consequences, so kind and harmful choices can affect this life or a future life.
Atman: The inner self or soul that Hindus believe continues even when the body dies.
