Hinduism developed out of the Vedas and older prehistoric religious traditions present in the Indus valley during the Bronze and Iron Ages. During the Gupta Empire (320-650 CE) Hindu philosophy was divided into six schools or darshans, which serve as a means of gaining knowledge in order to attain liberation from the karmic cycle of birth and death.
