Hinduism, resting on numerous and varied scriptural texts obviously requies an encyclopaedic treatment. This book aims to give a broad outline of the prominent features of this religion. It aims at acquainting the busy reader with all that Hinduism stands for, and that as quickly as possible. The author succeeds admirably in giving a clear and precise account of the fundamental categories of Hindu thought in a very interesting manner.
Discriminate within yourself between the real and the unreal. Have you not read the Vedanta? Even when you sleep, keep the sword of discrimination at the head of your bed, so that covetousness cannot approach you even in dream. Practicing such strength, renunciation will gradually come, and then you will see the portals of heaven are wide open to you.
-Swami Vivekananda
