Title: A true gem
Review: I am a student of Hinduism since many years, and have read most of the popular texts on the subject. I am also Hindu myself (a Vaishnava). I heartily recommend this book without any reservations to anyone wishing to learn more about Hinduism. It is written from a Saivite viewpoint (Saivism is one of the 4 major streams of orthodox Hinduism), but the authors take care to point out the information that is specific only to Saivism, and also compare their viewpoints to other streams, as well as to religions outside the Hindu family. A wonderful reference. Btw, the people who produced this book also publish Hinduism Today, which is another good resource.
Is the review positive or negative?
