The vastness of Hinduism and some aspects of Indian culture have been systematically put together in this compact book. It talks about the revered gods and goddesses of the Hindu pantheon. It tells us why Krishna is blue, why the cow is sacred, why have Hindu gods been depicted with several arms and so on.

Description:

One of the oldest living religions in the world, with approximately a billion adherents, Hinduism is both a school of thought and a way of life. Drawing from a colossal pool of texts written across the ages – from the Upanishads and the Vedas to the Gita and the Puranas – the religion melds together a range of voices. Yet, given the complexity of its philosophical thrust, the contradictions in its discourse, and the sheer immensity of its bank of wisdom, Hinduism remains a mystery, even to its followers. Hinduism: An Introduction attempts to simplify an undeniably complex belief-system, and shed light on its eternal laws.

Ananda Coomaraswamys Hinduism and Buddhism, like all his writings, is a masterpiece. In this work he sets forth his ideas with his usual depth and insight to discard the wrong notions about the divergence in the basic philosophies of these two major religions that have been propounded by European scholars and by Indians trained in our modern skeptical and evolutionary modes of thought. In Hinduism and Buddhism Coomaraswamy has tried to show that the essentials of these religions are the same and form what may be called as the Philosophia Perennis or the Eternal Philosophy. His contention is that Hinduism and Buddhism are not contradictory but the one is a development out of the massive foundation of the other. It is only to those who have made a superficial study that Buddhism seems different from Brahmanism; the more profound is the study, the more difficult it becomes to distinguish Buddhism from Brahmanism.
Hinduism and Buddhism is divided into two parts with copious notes added to each part. In the first part, dealing with Hinduism, Coomaraswamy has examined in detail the fundamental concepts like karma, maya, reincarnation, the darsanas, the sacrifice, social order, etc., and in the second part, dealing with Buddhism, he shows that in essentials it was the same as Hinduism and that Buddha did not strive to establish a new order to restore an older form. In sum, the basic philosophy of great religions is drawn from a common fount and the new religions are but the recognition of the common thought manifested under different forms.

Publisher,s Note

“Hinduim” is not a Religion, ‘It is a Way of Life,’ is a time tested statement by Philosophers, Spiritual Gurus and Leaders in all walks of Life.

Scores of books and literature have been written by many well read authors with in depth knowledge in The Vedas, Upanishads, Puraanas and Epics.

However, the need for a beginner’s text book has been felt time and again. As parents when we are not able to answer the curious questions of our little child, we look for a simple guide and find enormous information but not a specific answer.
