===Hindu beliefs===

In [[Hinduism]], the [[Sanskrit]] words most closely corresponding to soul are "[[Jiva]]", meaning the individual soul or personality, and "Atman", which can also mean soul or even [[God]]. The Atman is seen as the portion of [[Brahman]] within us. Hinduism contains many variant beliefs on the origin, purpose, and fate of the soul. For example, [[advaita]] or non-dualistic conception of the soul accords it union with Brahman, the absolute uncreated (roughly, the Godhead), in eventuality or in pre-existing fact. [[Dvaita]] or [[dualism|dualistic]] concepts reject this, instead identifying the soul as a different and incompatible substance.
