Introduction to Hindu Dharma

In Hindu Dharma: Introduction to Scriptures and Theology briefly the essentials of the scriptures of the Hindu Dharma such as the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Smriti Shstras like the Purnas, the Tantras, the epics (Rmyana and Mahbhrata) and the Bhagavad Git have been described and discussed. Also, the concepts of Brahman and tman, the goal of Hindu life (Purushrthas) and other doctrines like ''Varnshrama'', ''Samskras'' of the Dharma have been briefly discussed. Further what ''Puj''(worship) is and how it is performed is described. Finally, a few well-known prayer (Mantras hymns) are provided.

The objective has been to describe the difficult ideas of the Hindu Dharma in a simple way so readers will get a broad idea about the contents of the various scriptures and the theology and philosophy of the Hindu Dharma.
