After seeing some of the beef on the TL I just want to make a few things clear about what Hindus believe in. Hindus do not have a centralized belief system, we are not an organized faith. Within the Hindu "umbrella" there are multiple belief systems in place. (1/6)

We share common beliefs and traditions, but there are some that vary by sect (Vaishnavas, Shaivas etc) and subsect (Vaishnavs have Swaminarayan, Pustimarg etc). They do not only vary by sect/subsect but also by regions within India as well as other countries like Nepal. (2/6)

In the end it does not matter which one of these paths you take because they will still take you to the same truth. I've linked some videos below that are useful in understanding these beliefs a bit more.

If you would like any clarification I'm happy to help.
