Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

An overview of the Hindu religious tradition, and a description of the essence of the Hindu vision of reality, this book deals both historically and analytically with the many faces of Hindu culture, art, mythology, ritual and social structure. The concepts of dharama (social duty) and moksha (release from the material and social world) are given equal emphasis, and the conflicts between them are examined.

Contraportada:

This book has two aims: to present an overview of the Hindu religious tradition and to describe the essence of the Hindu vision of reality. The book deals historically and analytically with many facets of Hindu culture: philosophy, art, mythology, ritual, and social structure. Detailed descriptions of specific rituals and extended portraits of important Hindu thinkers and saints are included. These descriptions permit readers to sense the distinctive textures of Hinduism for themselves.
