In this lucid and incisive account of Hinduism, A. L. Herman introduces the reader to one of the great belief systems of our time. Professor Herman identifies three distinct Hindu traditions and treats both their historical roots?as far back as 2500.
This book explores Hinduism by empirically discovering the problems that it faces and the solutions that it offers to those problems. It summarizes the results of the authors' investigations into the problem-identifying and problem-solving ways of Gandhi, Maharshi, and Bhaktivedanta.
