This is a practical introduction to the variety of religious traditions that come from the Indian sub-continent and which are known collectively as 'Hinduism'. This clear and accessible guide covers: - an account of the diversity and underlying unity of Hinduism - Hindu mythology - temples and worship - Hindu worship in the home - family life and values - life-cycle rituals within the Hindu community - Hindu ethics - Hinduism in a world context and alongside other faiths. This text is part of the "Teach Yourself World Faiths" series. The book offers a basis for understanding Hinduism. The series aims to present information for readers with no prior knowledge of the religion, but who want to deal confidently with members of the faith community - both in terms of their beliefs and attitudes, and also the practical details of their culture, ceremonies, diet and moral views. The book is suitable for the general reader, and also for students seeking a broad understanding of the religion prior to embarking on more detailed academic work.
