The Essentials of Hinduism- An Introduction To All The Sacred Texts

Preface This short introductory book is meant for those who have an interest in Hinduism but do not have the time or inclination to study all the texts. Unlike other great religions that are based on a small set of books, there are hundreds of texts in Hinduism, most of which are very voluminous. They span not merely centuries, but millennia. The ancient scriptures are all in Sanskrit, a language which many do not know. The beginner is sometimes bewildered and does not know where to start such a study. A short introductory text covering the entire range of scriptures may serve that purpose. It may be of special interest to lay interested readers from other religions and nations as well as those who are agnostic or atheistic.
