This book can be used by lay readers as well as students of Short and Full GCSE Courses in Hinduism.

Every section has a special section entitled Breadth of Vision that offers deeper insights into religious teachings.

This book places a greater emphasis on contemporary version of Hinduism, in contrast to what have now become antiquated versions.

Hinduism is a living religion, constantly evolving and refreshing the message of spirituality through the teachings of its contemporary proponents. Western authors writing on Hinduism have often overlooked this feature.

Many textbooks on Hinduism are Abrahamic Versions of Hinduism; this book presents a Hindu version of Hinduism focusing on its core teachings of:

* The divinity of Man ~ or Spiritual humanism

* Religious Pluralism promoted as a central tenet of religion

* Religion reconciled with rationality

* Emphasis on experiential religion

* Spirituality as the common subject matter of both religions and modern sciences
