Description - Hinduism: The Eternal Law by Margaret Stutley

Hinduism is the name given by Europeans to the religious, cultural, social, political and philosophical beliefs which make up the Hindu way of life. Hindus call their religious tradition "the eternal law", which has existed for over 5,000 years, a period matched only by the unbroken cultural development of China. This comprehensive introduction for the general reader provides a guide to the sacred literature, practices, cosmologies and history of the religion. It includes information on the cults of Siva and Visnu, Tantrism, the priesthood, worship, festivals, the major systems of yoga and reform movements, including the work of Mahatma Gandhi.
