For some this book may be a revelation, for others a re-dawning of understanding, but for everyone interested in understanding basic Hindu tradition and precepts that need a restatement as to their modern relevance, it will be a rewarding experience indeed. Religion and culture will be reinterpreted always with a view to contemporary understanding, but this book underlines the very parameters on which such interpretations will be based for the Hindu people in future.
