Shirk in Hinduism?
This Concept of Shirk is from the religion of Islaam, in which the worship of anyone but the One True God throws you in eternal Hellfire.
Islaam is often shown as the only religion with this Concept of Shirk.
But did you know that Shirk even exists in Hinduism? The ancient Veda gives many references about Shirk. The Veda gives many references of worshipping God Alone and None else. The Veda says to give God no graven image, and those who worship other things will enter darkness.

It's mentioned in Rigveda 6.45.16.,
"Ya Eka Ittamushtuhi"
"Praise Him who is the matchless and alone."
-
It's mentioned in Rigveda 8.1.1.,
"Ma Chidanyadvi Shansata"
“Do not worship anybody but Him, the Divine One, Praise Him alone."
-
The Yajurveda says in 40:9,
"andhantamaḥ pra viśanti ye 'sambhūtimupāsate. tato bhūyaḥ 'iva te tamo ya 'u sambhūtyāṁ ratāḥ."
"They are entering Darkness, Those who worship the Natural things. They are entering More in Darkness, Those who worship the Created things."
-
According to the Vedas, the worship of anyone will put you in Eternal Darkness. Rigveda 4.5.4. even speaks about Hell.
So the worship of others besides God, or the worship of God along with others will put One in Eternal Hell according to the Sacred Vedas.
