5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to Hindu spirituality and philosophy, August 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Hinduism (Elements of Series) (Paperback)
In this installment of the excellent "Elements of" series, Cross concisely summarizes the sometimes bewildering varieties of Hindu religion. Cross traces the historical and philosophical development of Indian spirituality, with due attention given to the major gods and goddesses, the philosophical schools of Vedanta, Sahnkya and Yoga, as well as modern developments.

Throughout, Cross explains complex symbolism and mythology in an elegant style which conveys the spiritual power of these symbols and stories without ever oversimplifying. This volume is one of the best concise intoductions to Indian spirituality I have seen.
