Description

This book traces the evolution of Hinduism from ancient times to the modern age, highlighting its transformation through various cultural and religious influences. It explores the symbiosis of Dravidian and Aryan traditions within Hinduism and examines the impact of Greeks, British rule, Buddhism, and Islam on its development.

Quoting extensively from Hindu sacred texts and related literature, the book delves into the ethical and socio-political implications of Advaita Vedanta, analyzing concepts such as self-consciousness and the illusory nature of the world. Special emphasis is placed on the philosophical contributions of Adi Shankara and other great thinkers.

This insightful study serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars of Hindu religion and philosophy, as well as for general readers interested in understanding the depth and evolution of Hindu thought.
