Publisher's Synopsis
Few religions in the wide tapestry of human spirituality have inspired the world's admiration and imagination like Hinduism. Hinduism stands as a beacon of knowledge and enlightenment, beckoning searchers to explore its depths and solve the riddles of life with its rich tapestry of gods and goddesses, ancient rituals, deep philosophy, and different cultural manifestations. We set out on a trip in this book, "Introduction to Hinduism: Exploring the Oldest Living Religion," to discover the core of this extraordinary religion, to explore its beginnings, beliefs, and practices, and to get a better understanding of its enduring significance in the contemporary world.
We are flattered and grateful to have the opportunity to provide this thorough overview of Hinduism as co-authors. Rahul Pawar, a scholar and Hindu practitioner, and Ishwar Singh, a historian with a love for religious studies, collaborate with us to combine their knowledge and thoughts. We were inspired to write a book that serves as both a primer for newcomers and an invaluable resource for those who are already acquainted with Hinduism by our shared interest for this age-old religion.
Given that Hinduism is a huge and complex tradition that has developed over thousands of years, the goal of this book is not to give an entire or conclusive description of it. Instead, we want to provide readers a strong foundation and a comprehensive overview of Hinduism's key features so they may further investigate and get a sophisticated grasp of this fascinating religion.
