Readers seeking spiritual enlightenment, as well as those interested in comparative religion, will find a concise, clearly written introduction to one of the world's great and ancient faiths in this attractive volume. Placing special emphasis on the Vedas , the author describes the historical and geographical background of Hinduism and discusses the religion's various classic texts. The Vedas share their place--along with the Upanishads and the two great Hindu epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana --as being among the most important documents of Hindu literature. The Vedas are Hinduism's original holy texts and the basis of its faith, roughly comparable to the Judeo-Christian Bible. The author presents sample readings from the Vedas to give readers an illuminating glimpse into Hindu theology and its pantheon of gods and goddesses. He concludes with a survey of Hindu culture, including marriage and burial customs; the caste system; and Hindu festivals. Here are answers to fundamental questions that include: Who are Kali, Shiva, and Krishna? What is karma? How do ancient Hindu precepts retain their significance in the modern world? This beautiful volume contains more than 200 color illustrations.
