A comprehensive, clearly written introduction that makes the subject accessible to undergraduates. This is a very comprehensive study of hinduism. A lot of historical depth to hinduism in general, but with so many branches of hinduism, still just an introduction to each of them. This is an academic study and while it is full of information, may be a little dry. Looks like a college text for a 300-500 level class. But for info, it beats any of the hinduism for dummies books hands down. Introduces all aspects of hinduism from the vedas to the tantras. From the distant past to modern times. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

This book provides a much-needed thematic and historical introduction to Hinduism, the religion of the majority of people in India. Dr Flood traces the development of Hindu traditions from their ancient origins, through the major deities of Visnu, Siva and the Goddess, to the modern world. Hinduism is discussed as both a global religion and a form of nationalism. Emphasis is given to the tantric traditions, which have been so influential; to Hindu ritual, which is more fundamental to the life of the religion than are specific beliefs or doctrines; and to Dravidian influences from south India. An Introduction to Hinduism examines the ideas of dharma, particularly in relation to the ideology of kingship, caste and world renunciation. Dr Flood also introduces some debates within contemporary scholarship about the nature of Hinduism. It is suitable both for the student and for the general reader.
