What Is Hinduism? provides one of the most provocative, engaging and
detailed examinations of this oldest religious and spiritual tradition
in the world. Followed by over a billion people, including a great
majority in India, Hinduism is the third largest religion in the world.
The teachings of Yoga and Vedanta are followed by millions in every
continent. Enriched with a profound pluralistic view, Hinduism
emphasizes that the Truth is One but has many paths. Yet, despite its
universality, Hinduism remains the most misunderstood of the world's
major religions, partly because of its antiquity and the vast extent of
its teachings.
Acknowledging the importance of the religion and its growing influence
globally, David Frawley has addressed the prime teachings of Hinduism,
its role in India, its place in the information age and has compiled an
exhaustive set of questions and answers dwelling on all the significant
issues. This essential learning helps us understand our spiritual
heritage as a species and the place of India among the greatest
civilizations of the world- ancient and modern. Further, the book charts
out how Hindus can overcome the challenges confronting them today and
communicate their diverse tradition more effectively, making it an ideal
book for the Hindu youth.
