Religions of Humanity: Hinduism

Product Description

Hinduism is the religious belief shared by the great majority of people living in India. In order to understand Hinduism, one must start with the ideas and cultural concepts of the Aryans, the Indo-European invaders who penetrated the valleys of the Indus and Ganges rivers 2,000 years before the modern era. However, it is even more necessary to remember that the oral tradition (or Veda) of Hinduism has been transformed over the centuries as a result of contact with non-Vedic cultures rooted in India long before the arrival of the Aryan conquerors.
