About the Book

The Life of Hinduism brings together a series of essays-many recognized as classics in the field- that present Hinduism as a vibrant, truly ‘lived religion. Celebrating the diversity for which Hinduism is known, this volume beings its journey in the ‘new India’ of Bangalore, India’s Silicon Valley, where global connections and local traditions rub shoulders daily. Readers are then offered a glimpse into the multifaceted world of Hindu worship, life-cycle rites, festivals, performances, gurus and castes. The book’s final sections deal with issues of identity that Hindus face in India around the world: militancy versus tolerance and the struggle between one’s own religion and sharing it with others.
