"Introduction to Hinduism" by Jayaram V is a comprehensive guide to understanding the oldest living religion in the world. Originally published in 2012 and revised in 2024, this book delves into the rich and complex philosophy and practices of Hinduism. It covers a wide range of topics, including the antiquity, definition, and significance of Hinduism, its scriptures, main beliefs, methods of worship, gods and goddesses, and way of life. The book also explores major concepts such as karma, dharma, incarnation of God, reincarnation, sacrifice, maya, Nature or Prakriti, jiva or the bound soul, nature of Self, God, life after death, evolution of life and intelligence, marriages, teacher traditions, and liberation.
The revised edition includes updated content and new perspectives, reflecting the author's extensive study of India's religious and spiritual traditions over the last 35 years. The book is organized into several chapters, each focusing on a specific aspect of Hinduism, such as the role of dharma, the concept of maya, the gods and goddesses, idol worship, and the cyclical process of creation. It also addresses the contradictions and distinctions within Hinduism, providing a balanced and nuanced understanding of the religion.
