The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Hinduism provides a comprehensive guide to the history and philosophy of Hinduism, exploring its rich cultural development from its Indian roots to its global application. This accessible book examines the origins of Hinduism, outlining the holy texts and their teachings about the self, karma, and the cycle of birth and death. The second part focuses on spiritual practices, detailing the four main paths of action, knowledge, meditation, devotion, and relating tales of the many Hindu deities. The final section analyses Hindu society, culture, and arts, making this a valuable reference for anyone seeking to explore the faith and culture of Hinduism. With over 470 photographs by author Rasamandala Das, accompanied by consultant Professor M. Narasimhachary, this book offers a unique insight into one of the world's oldest major religions.
