Awesome book on Hinduism
In this book, the author has revealed the oldest religion (Hinduism) of all living religions originating in India. It is also known as Sanatan Dharm (Eternal religion) and Vedic Dharm (religion of Vedas). This book has been written in a simple language and in concise manner which can be understood by all ages. The author has beautifully portrayed the all complex core aspects of Hinduism: Tattvas, Srutis, Smrities, Darshanas, and Bhakti.
This book on Hinduism is not meant only for Hindus but for humanity as a whole. This is an excellent source to know all about Hinduism for all generations. This is a MUST KEEP book for every family in the universe.
Door to enlightening yourself
There is a lot and varying information available on Hinduism. It is confusing to sift through and extract the information that can make your human birth a success. Even if a person is able to hone in on the correct particulars of the Vedic religion, it is beyond the intellectual capacity of any human being to extract the juice and drink it.
Essence of Hinduism by Swami Mukundananda ji makes this goal very easy. The book gives the authentic information on the Vedic religion (otherwise referred to as Hinduism) in an easy to understand language for all human beings, from young to the old, regardless of social or religious background. The book is an essential step for every person and family to venture into making their lives worthwhile. The content is very easy to understand and grasp; ideal for family discussion.
After reading this book, you will fee lthat a doorway has opened for you into a vast world of treasure to which any wordly treasure will seem pale in comparison.
Complete Vedic Pith Packed in Handbook!!
The Book goes by its name—containing the Essence of Hinduism, that has attributed to it a vast galaxy of Scriptural texts divided into four Vedas and hundreds of Upanishads, Puranas, etc.
It wonderfully explains various mysterious concepts of the Eastern philosophy such as soul, rebirth, karma, the mind, the art of meditation, concept of Maya and moksha, bhakti yoga, the guru, God, and many more.
The striking feature of this book, IMHO, is the simplicity and clarity with which the author elucidates transcendental philosophies which are otherwise of a very esoteric character. That said, the author does not compromise with the authenticity part, corroborating his views with a direct reference from the Vedas and other scriptures. I must say I ended up learning a lot more than I thought I would.
Recommended for both—absolute beginners to spirituality and those striving for perfection!
