About this listen
You might know that Greek gods interfered on both sides of the Trojan War, but did you know that Hindu gods fought alongside both the Pandavas and Kauravas in the Mahabharata? In the same way the ancient Egyptians worshiped Ra above all else, did you know that the monkey-god, Hanuman, gained his wisdom from the sun? Did you know that Krishna and Hercules are often linked to a past that includes Alexander the Great's conquests? And just as Noah had his ark, one of Lord Vishnu's avatars had a similar tale for Hinduism. All of us share the same stories because the things that unite us are far greater than the things that divide us.
I wrote this book because I wanted my loved ones to hear about Rama and Krishna and Saraswati as they also learned of Thor and Hercules, of Horus and Ra, of Noah, and Moses. In these 25 tales, you will be immersed in Hinduism in a way that highlights the traits I found most compelling in my research - tales of love, pride, virtue, and fate.

This book provides us a basic idea about Hinduism. Also, the author has given knowledge about important Hindu spiritual books, Hindu holidays and a study about differences and connections between Hinduism and Buddhism.

Great for beginning Buddhists.
This is another well thought out and beautifully presented a guide on Buddhism. I have been interested in Buddhism for some time and when I read a trilogy of books that featured a Buddhist, it rekindled my interest and I decided to study more. Great one, love this one!

Well supported
Strauss reveals the links between history and literature in a well supported, clean and intelligent manner. I found this book enlightening and very enjoyable. the interpretation of the new archaeological evidence helped make this book very modern and exciting.

Nice
You will hear a lot concerning the religion of Hinduism. Good book, if you are thinking to visit the temples, it gives information such as not eating food a few days before visiting. The Hindus, as well as other people, are considered and you get to learn about all of their customs and what they believe.

Great read, just short
I really enjoyed this brief but descriptive intro to Hinduism, but gets a little repetitive and could be longer. Hope to read more like it

Impressive!
It would be nice to have a glossary of an English translation of the ancient words at the back of the book. Easy to understand! A great introduction to Buddhism. Very happy I got this book - 😊 a very satisfying purchase.

Instructive
For those interested in Hinduism this is a very informative book. It details the hierarchy of the Hindu Deities and allows the listener to understand the reason for God's names etc.
