buy this book second,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hinduism (Textbook Binding)
I read this book several years ago and thought it quite good, but I think there are better introductions to the topic. Since I first read it, I have gotten to know several people from India and been to a Hindu temple and wedding ceremony. I have found that there is much that is skimmed over in this book or not mentioned at all. Sen hardly touches on the mythology of the Hindu pantheon or on the ceremonial rituals and customs. What is presented is a very academic, philosophical view of Hinduism.

SHORT BOOK, LONG READ,
This review is from: Hinduism (Penguin Religion and Mythology) (Mass Market Paperback)
THE TONE IS VERY EDUCATED BUT THIS BOOK IS SIMPLY NOT CLEAR OR LUCID. I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME JUST GETTING THROUGH IT. HINDUISM IS A DIFFICULT ENOUGH SUBJECT WITHOUT ADDING A BRITISH STYLE AUTHOR TO CONFOUND MATTERS FURTHER, IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT.
