Review VictoriaLeo_author "Reiki Master" : Organized, clear, interesting - accurate - well-done! October 18, 2014. Excellent, well organized, not doctrinaire, very clear. Hinduism isn't an "ism" in the same way as Christianity: there is no unifying creed or hierarchy; it is heterogeneous. This author cuts through the details to make it all understandable.

I am certainly not a scholar, and although I have spent quite a bit of time educating myself in understanding the philosophical messages of this faith, I did benefit reading this book as it cleared some of the doubts I had. The author seems to have done quite a bit of serious research and through the proper usage of metaphors he has made it easier to understand and enjoy this wonderful book.
