Hinduism Beyond Rituals, Customs and Traditions
Author Promod Puri
For most of us the tag of religion we
belong to is given by our parents. And the specific rituals, customs and
traditions we follow identify us belonging to a particular religion or
faith.
“HINDUISM beyond ritual, customs and
traditions” is an attempt to traverse further and explore its richness
in the areas of spiritual and philosophical thoughts, and to recognize
the religion’s rational, liberal, secular and diverse fundamentals.
Hinduism is not merely a religion or as the cliché goes: a way of life. It is a multi-disciplinary academy as well.
From rituals to murti-puja, mantra and
metaphysics, karma and moksha, to meditation and yoga, and all its
recreational aspects like music, dance and drama, Hinduism is a
disciplinary as well as a comprehensive experience of spiritual
development in liberal and progressive regime.
Moving beyond its rituals, customs and
traditions, this study on Hinduism explores the spiritual and
metaphysical aspects of the religion, and succinctly perceives its
entirety.
A two-fold approach has been made in this
presentation. One is to expose the liberal, progressive and secular
nature and constitution of Hinduism. And the other one is to introduce
rational and empirical interpretations of philosophies and numinous
concepts comprising the multi-facet structure of Hinduism.
The 122-page book stimulates and
encourages debate, protest, amendments and even deletions of those
doctrines or beliefs which are senseless, derogatory, and far from
truth.
It is a comprehensive study but still
concise in its presentation.Enjoy and get enriched in Hinduism, the
dynamic and most ancient religion in the world.
