I found this book very didactic

Wonderful, very concise-"tops"-especially if you follow a Vaishnava path.If you have trouble understanding the translations of Hindu religious and philosophical works on Vaisnava perspective, this is a good choice. For devotees of Krishna or Vishnu, this is also a very satisfying book.

I enjoyed it

Any additional comments?

Attractive, good information. Easy to grasp and understand, some of the basic beliefs and practices. Very helpful if you're making your first visit to a Hindu Temple. Wish I'd had it before I made mine. Thanks to the Author.

Avoid this overly simplified view of Hinduism

Overly simplified. The narration is appalling, with most of the terms mispronounced. Not a good start for someone interested in the Hindu religion.

Instructive

For those interested in Hinduism this is a very informative book. It details the hierarchy of the Hindu Deities and allows the listener to understand the reason for the Gods names etc.
