Hinduism — The Complete Beginner’s Guide
Hinduism — rightly called Sanatana Dharma — is the oldest living religion on earth. It has no single founder, no single scripture, and no single dogma, yet it has guided hundreds of millions of lives for thousands of years. This guide introduces its gods, its scriptures, its core ideas, and its practices — in language a beginner can follow.
What you will learn
- What Hinduism is — and why "Sanatana Dharma" is the truer name
- The major gods and goddesses, and how one supreme Brahman underlies them
- The four Vedas, the Upanishads, the Itihasas and the Puranas — in plain English
- Core concepts: dharma, karma, moksha, samsara, yoga
- How Hindus worship — at home and at the temple — and the major festivals
Foundations of Hinduism
Core concepts, scriptures and schools of Hindu thought.
