An excellent recommendation for any interested in Hindu beliefs and discussions of Eastern religion alike.
Selections from more than 4,000 discourses of Kanchi Sankaracharya (1894-1994) compose Introduction to Hindu Dharma: Illustrated. Covering prayer, virtue, and conflict between traditional Hindu dharma and modernity, Introduction to Hindu Dharma welcomes both newcomers and those already familiar to the sage and his spiritual legacy. An excellent recommendation for any interested in Hindu beliefs and discussions of Eastern religion alike.

Excellent Coverage
Hinduism and Hindu Dharma are so big and I was wondering how an introduction to Hindu Dharma could be brought out in a single book. The author had done an wonderful job of selecting the topics and combining with the discourses of H.H. Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Swamiji. The illustration with the pictures from old to modern times with each ritual is simply superb. I could not control my curiosity of how the photos have come out so nicely, but when I finished reading the Preface by the author he had explained how it was done.
Overall, a tough job had been done very nicely and user friendly. Congratulations to the author and the publisher for bringing this book very nicely. It would be very useful especially for Hindus settled outside India and to Hindu Children born outside India - who are confused to learn Hindu Dharma.
A must book to be read!
