A Comprehensive Guide to Indian Scriptures by Sunita Pant Bansal | Book Review
Hinduism is a way of life as well as a religion. The importance of good behaviour extends far beyond the confines of particular rites or practices to all aspects of daily life.
The Hindu religion is called Sanatana Dharma, where 'sanatana' stands for eternal and 'dharma' for laws. As a result, Sanatana Dharma refers to the laws of nature or the eternal, immutable laws of the universe. Because of this, Hinduism is a way of life that adheres to the laws of the universe.
The book primarily explores how these scriptures evolved over time. From the Vedas, which include the Samhitas, Brahmanas, and Aranyakas, as well as each of the 108 Upanishads, which are connected to each Veda.
The Dharma Shastras, Puranas, Itihasas, Vedangas, Upa Vedas, Darshanas, Vedanta Sutras, Agamas, and Kala Shastras are also included. I gained an understanding of numerous Upanishads and their specifics.
This book also does a great job of categorising the vast collection of Hindu scriptures and presenting them in a way that is easy to understand, including a brief summary of each Veda and Upanishad's content. It also covers the epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. Even a casual reader can easily comprehend the language used.
Overall, "A Comprehensive Guide to Indian Scriptures" is a well-written guide for those who want to learn more about,RI Hinduism's sacred scriptures. It serves as an invaluable resource for both beginners and those seeking to deepen their understanding of these ancient texts.
The author's insightful commentary and contextual explanations enhance the reading experience, making complex concepts accessible to all.
