ansnyder85 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2006 I am looking for a book or books that will explain to me in detail all I need to know about Hinduism and how to "become" Hindu. I have fallen in love with this religion and what to know everything about it. So if any of you have any recommendations on a good book or books I would love to hear your comments.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 7, 2006 Bansi Pandit and David Frawley's books are goog as are Swami Vivekananda's. The essentials of Hinduism by Swami Bhaskarananda. Hindu culture by Swami Tejomayananda. A very good book on all aspects of Hinduism and how it is all releted is Bandi Pandit's 'The Hindu Mind'. He also wrote another book called the Hindu Dharma, where you can read online here. hindubooks.org/bansi_pandit/hindu_dharma There are a few online books to be read here, see side panel on left and click on the book of interest. hindunet.org/introduction Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
