The Hindu religion is old and yet contemporary, orthodox yet all-absorbing, deep and yet all-expansive. It is vast, diverse and mind-boggling. Nowhere is this difficult-to-understand nature of Hinduism more palpably felt than when dealing with today's young minds. This book has been specifically designed to address the requirements of teaching Hinduism to young boys and girls in a format that is in line with the guidelines suggested in the new non-statutory framework for religious education. Printed in four colour on high quality art paper.
The important thing is how much less you think of the body, of yourself as matter -- as dead, dull, insentient matter; how much more you think of yourself as shining immortal being. The more you think of yourself as spirit, the more eager you will be to be absolutely free from matter, body and senses. This is the intense desire to be free.
-Swami Vivekananda
