Because their commercial skills have been combined with their natural dedication, the Gujarati have become successful in business ventures internationally. The majority of the Gujarati are Hindus , regardless of their location in the world. The Hindu clergy are drawn from the highest castes, the Brahmans. Therefore, becoming a priest is essentially a matter of birthright, although not all Brahmans practice as priests. Hindus worship many gods, some of which are animals.
Cows are sacred, but they revere monkeys, snakes, and other animals as well.
They believe that the soul may be reincarnated as an animal or as a human. The law of karma states that every action influences how the soul will be born in the next life. If a person lives a good life, his soul will be born into a higher state. The cycle continues until spiritual perfection is achieved. Then the soul enters moksha, a new level of existence, from which it never returns.
