One of the most misunderstood aspects of modern Hinduism is the worship of deities, that is the visible images of God, his incarnations, and divine associates, made of material elements such as stone, marble, metal, and so on). These “statue-like” forms of divinity allow easy access to the Lord, who, in general, is beyond the purview of the senses. At first, the deities can be provocative, particularly for a Westerner. How is the visible form in the temple an alternate manifestation of God, with no qualifying caveat? Is deity worship different than idol worship? Just what does deity wor...

The Vedas are often regarded as ceremonial writings. Both ritual and sacrifice play an essential role in this. Vedic religion is first and foremost a liturgy, and only secondly a mythical or philosophical system; we must therefore analyze it as a liturgy. This book introduces the reader to the various Vedic ceremonies, including many that are still practiced today in India.

The Vedas include the foundational texts of theistic Hinduism, which are reflected in Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, and other minor religious traditions. In the intractable pages of the Epics, Hindu beliefs started to really take root, and in the Puranas, their roots became more pronounced. With the works of the great early Hindu sages, they at last reached their apogee. The benefits of Hindu practice were developed on the foundation of this cumulative heritage. The most revered instructors of the tradition maintain that the truths contained in the "latter" texts are inherent in the ...
