Hinduism Clarified and Simplified is the best book on Hinduism written so far; and most exclusive and exhaustive one. Almost everything worth mentioning has been included in it. Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Religion, is now called Hinduism. According to Manusmriti, it is Manava Dharma: Human Religion, the Religion for all human beings. Hinduism as the Manava Dharma wishes all to be happy and healthy: sarve bhawantu sukhinah. Hinduism as Eternal Religion asks all to grow from inside and absorb cosmic energy; to know the self and the Creator Brahman; and to get united to that Absolute God through pure deeds, moral acts, penance and meditation for moksha (Salvation). Read, think, and follow the dictates of sublime and divine visionary rishis for knowledge, control, balance, hope and faith; for complete living through dharma, artha, kama and moksha; for health, happiness, peace, pleasure, prosperity, revelation and enlightenment; and freedom from the endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

This book is a critique of western systematic theology. It borrows insights from India and other traditions; it is not a synthesis of religious traditions. The book includes two parts, method and systematics. It examines the traditional topics of systematic theology '- topics such as the existence and nature of God, revelation and reason, religious ethics and human practice, the relation of God to the world, Christology, and eschatology - and allows these topics to grow in conversation with India and to change according to dialogical insights. The book is prompted by a perceived need to cross the boundaries between western and Indian worldviews in a systematic and comprehensive way. The purpose of the book is to enable scholars worldwide to extend their theological resources and to look anew at the problems and prospects of a comparative, systematic theology.

Originally published in 1922. This work contains studies of goddess worship in Bengal, Caste, Brahmaism and social reform, with descriptive sketches of curious festivals, ceremonies and faquirs. The object of writing this book was being to interpret, however imperfectly, the present day Indians to the English public, Mr. Oman did his best to bring his readers into actual touch with contemporary India at various points, using his somewhat exceptional personal experiences in illustrating and elucidating the subjects dealt with, which have yet to be sought for, and do not come within the ken of Europeans in India whether official or nonofficial. Included in this volume are such legends and stories as seemed to throw light upon the habits or the mental peculiarities of the Indian people. Illustrated. Author: John Campbell Oman Language: English Keywords: Religion Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.
