| Résumé : |
Hinduism is a way of life and a state of mind. This anthology comprises a selection of extracts from the canon of Hindu sacred writings, each accompanied with an expert commentary to clarify or stress points that might otherwise be obscure to the Western reader. Taken together, they reveal the enormous richness and diversity of knowledge within the Hindu culture and the universality contained within its teachings.
Prepared by the International Consultancy on Religion, Education and Culture with the assistance of Benares University, this volume is one of a series designed both for the followers of particular religious traditions and as an enlightening introduction for those who wish to explore unfamiliar spiritual philosophies. |
