Covering all the major Hindu practices, festivals, beliefs, gods,
sacred sites, languages, and religious texts, this is the most
comprehensive Hinduism dictionary of its kind. It contains 2,800
entries on everything from Tantra to temples, from bhakti to
Divali, as well as biographical entries for key thinkers, teachers,
and scholars. All entries are clear, concise, up to date, and fully
cross-referenced. With its coverage spanning 3,500 years of
Hinduism - from the religion's conception to Hinduism in the 21st
century - this brand new A-Z also acknowledges the historical
interplay between Hindu traditions and others, for example,
Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, and Islamic. Detailed appendices include
maps, pronunciation guide, a chronology, principal sources and
further reading, and useful websites. This dictionary is an
invaluable first port of call for students and teachers of
Hinduism, theology, Asian studies, or philosophy, as well as the
related disciplines of history, sociology, and anthropology. It is
also an ideal source of reference for all practicing Hindus and for
anyone with an interest in Indian religions and culture.
