An Indispensable Hinduism Dictionary
Classic Hinduism, is a difficult subject, especially for those who did not grow up in a Hindu culture. Here is a desk dictionary with the vast scope of covering Hindu mythology, folklore, philosophy, and history. There are about 2500 subject headings on the gods and goddesses, rites, practices, places, literary texts, music, symbols and more, explained in detail and yet understandable for the lay person. There is a 15 page bibliography at the end of the book, and an `English Subjects and Their Sanskrit Equivalents' section. Excellent reference work for students, professionals, and anyone interested.
