Description

A rational survey of the essential contents of Hinduism and a dependable guide through the apparent mazes of Hindu thought.

Hinduism is, after all, a unity in difference, under it combine many creeds, doctrines and spiritual disciplines. The author shows all this with consummate skill. It shows clearly how, in spite of the many changes that have come over Hinduism in the course of its long history, it has preserved its distinctive feature.

The treatment sparkles with transparent clarity and breathes throughout a freshness that will at once appeal to the modern mind, Hindu or non-Hindu. It will be particularly helpful to foreigners in understanding the true significance of an age-old culture.
