Bringing together texts from a variety of sectarian traditions,
this reader provides the broadest selection of primary source Hindu
literature available to date. The volume is divided into two major
parts. The first section presents selections that explore major
themes in classical Sanskrit traditions, including those in the
Vedic, Upanisadic, and Dharma literatures, as well as the classical
philosophical-religious schools. The second part includes
selections that highlight the sectarian and devotional movements
related to major deities such as Vishnu, Shiva, Krishna, Rama,
Sant, Tantra, and the goddess figures. In addition to a general
introductory chapter on Indian literature, each major section is
introduced by an essay that places the selections within the
context of Hindu history. This comprehensive reader stands on its
own as an indispensable anthology of original textual sources for
courses in Hinduism, while also serving as a companion volume to
the text The Many Colors of Hinduism: A Thematic-Historical
Introduction.
