This pocket encyclopedia is more than simply a book on Hinduism; it
is a summing up of the principles and concepts that lie at the base
of all the great faith traditions. Through an abundance of
illustrations, diagrams, photographs, and outlines the once daunted
reader or museum goer easily understands seemingly complex
mythology and art forms, the levels and methods of spiritual
realization of the greatest of the classical sages and saints and
their spiritual lineages concluding with the modern masters as well
as the metaphysics of the Hindu universe. Key benefits of the book:
- Provides useful chronological overviews and samplings from the
various Scriptures and epic poems.
- Clears up superficial misapprehensions of concepts such as
reincarnation and the caste system.
- Explains the place of Hindu mythology in the spiritual process
and how its didactic contents are elucidated in sculpture, epic
poems, and dance.
- Provides illustrations of the various divinities and
incarnations, which will be useful for the museum-goer or the
tourist visiting the sites of Indian art.
- Contributes to the understanding of our human condition today;
particularly clarifying as to where, according to Hinduism, we
stand today in the grand scheme of time, is the discussion of the
yugas or "ages" (the cycles of humanity).
- Contains helpful cross-references to other familiar world faiths,
including the Greco-Roman.
- Indicates the Hindu holy cities, rivers, andpilgrimage points, on
a helpful map
