Synopsis

Here is a great deal of information, clearly and simply stated, in the shortest possible space. This book is a basic introduction to Hinduism, its history, teachings, practices and institutions, presented as accessibly as if it were in a magazine or newspaper. After looking at the basis of the Hindu understanding of the world, we discover the world of the Hindu gods; the Hindu scriptures; the castes, death and rebirth; monks, saints and ascetics; and Hindu temples and the worship in them. There is a useful glossary of technical terms, and a list of books for further reading. Director of a pharmaceutical company, Herbert Ellinger has spent many years in the Far East and has a deep interest in religion and philosophy.
