520			_aHinduism is an Indian religion and way of living. Many practitioners refer to it as Sanatana Dharma, which alludes to the idea that its origins stretch beyond human history, as revealed in the Hindu texts. Hinduism is a diverse system of beliefs related to a range of ideas and shared concepts, rituals, cosmological systems, pilgrimage spots and textual sources. These texts discuss theology, metaphysics, mythology, Vedic yajna, yoga, agamic rituals and temple construction, among other topics. Major themes in Hindu beliefs include the four proper goals or objectives of human life, namely dharma, artha, kama and moksha, as well as karma and samsara. The four prominent sects within Hinduism, on the basis of the primary divine being which is worshipped by them, are Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism and Smartism. This book outlines the concepts and practices of Hinduism in detail. It is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the traditions and divinity in Hinduism. Those with an interest in religions would find this book helpful.
