Judaism, which dates back to Moses ( Moses  is a prophet in Abrahamic religions. According to the Hebrew Bible, he was a former Egyptian prince who later in life became a religious leader and lawgiver, to whom the authorship of the Torah is traditionally attributed.)

After its clash with Imperial Rome and the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and 135, the Jews were expelled from the Holy land , and a Jewish state was not again established in Palestine until 1948  - almost 2000 years later - although the majority of adherents of Judaism remain scattered through out the world.

Hinduism     the age-old religion    of India , which honours many god and goddesses  - all of whom , however, are regarded as manifestations of the one divine spirit , Brahman, - introduced into religious thinking the concept that spiritual peace and and happiness can be attained only tghrough physical and mental discipline .
