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.
I am the thread that runs through all these pearls, and each pearl is a religion or even a sect thereof. Such are the different pearls, and God is the thread that runs through all of them; most people, however, are entirely unconscious of it.
-Swami Vivekananda
