This handy compendium is intended to be a book of general reading which introduces the essential principles, concepts, beliefs and traditions of Hindu religion to the layman and serious student alike..
Contemporary developments in science and technology have revolutionized the very concept of the world of substance. We have landed on the moon and pace travel is a reality, but we have yet to find the ultimate truth beyond the known law of nature. Religion strives to this end. Sanatana Dharma, or Hinduism, approaches all the problems of life on the basis of scientific enquiry. The very world Sanatana means Eternal from the very beginning of each cycle of creation. It propounds a way of life applicable to all people throughout the world.
