Brilliance of Hinduism

Hinduism is not a religion in the strictest sense of the term, but it is a way of life. A religion is that which has one religious book and one founder like Christianity and Islam. When we look at Hinduism it is like a vast and huge banyan tree, under which many religions took their root and prospered. If such religions could not make much headway or declined, it was not due to Hinduism, but due to their own limitations and deficiencies.

In this book, I have laid stress on some exclusive characteristic features of Hinduism which distinguish it from other religions, though some fundamental traits are common to almost all the religions. I have tried my best to avoid controversial topics, especially that create dissensions amongst other religions but, even then, some references were unavoidable. But there is no overt or covert intention to deride and demean any religion. When salient features of a religion are mentioned, comparison cannot be avoided, nor even over looked, as comparative study enables us to discern between good and bad.
