| First published in 1892, this popular account of Brahmanism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism serves as a spirited introduction to the diverse faiths of the peoples of the Indian subcontinent. Students of global religions and those seeking to understand the burgeoning influence of these cultures will be fascinated by: . the religious basis of Rig-Veda . the revelation of divine knowledge represented by the Upanishads . the Sankhya philosophy of an eternal soul . caste and class in Hinduism . the many incarnations of Vishnu and Krishna . the contradictory stations of women throughout Indian culture . temptation, evil, and self-discipline in Buddhism . and much more. GEORGE THOMAS BETTANY (1850-1891) is also the author of The Dark Peoples of the Land of Sunshine (1890) and Primitive Religions (1891). |
