Foreword The Great Tale of Hinduism is an inspiring, colorful and engaging story that brings Hindu culture and spirituality alive in a unique way for the modern reader to carefully examine and appreciate.

The book is highlighted by stories of extraordinary Hindu teachers and leaders, woven into different perspectives on Hinduism's vast tradition of spiritual knowledge. The book conveys much important information about the beliefs and practices of Hinduism, showing the deeper vision behind them. Yet, it also reveals the Hindu way of life and how it reflects the beauty of nature and our common shared human experience. It shares new discoveries about the ancient history of India that many people today, including many Hindus do not know.

The Great Tale of Hinduism, in a short space, covers an extensive ground of Hindu teachings. It provides a panoramic view of a Hindu approach to religion, philosophy, science, politics, mythology, art, the role of women, and the past and the future of humanity. The book brings Hinduism alive as a continual development of wonder and creativity that renews itself in every generation, honoring the Divine in every name, form, facet and manifestation.

The book shows how deeply Hindu Dharma is intertwined with the people, regions, and cultures of India- and to this extent is also a story of India as a country and its enduring Dharmic Civilization. Reading it will help one better understand the many different facets of India or Bharat, which cannot be circumscribed by modern ideas of nation, culture or even religion. Indeed what the world has honored about India is its yogis, gurus, sacred mountains and rivers and pursuit of Self-realization that mirror its Hindu ethos.

The book takes the reader out of dry academic political and sociological views to the living reality of Hindu Dharma, such as is practiced in the great temples of India today and is spreading globally with both the Hindu diaspora and people from every continent today embracing Hindu Dharma. This deeper cosmic vision behind Hinduism cannot be codified or defined and will ever draw us to search deeper within ourselves as well as inspire us to uplift our society. We all need to learn the great tale of Hinduism as part of the story of our own inner being and the unfoldment of the whole of life. On that basis let us take a short examination of Hinduism to provide a background.
