The Symbolism of Hindu Gods and Rituals

What the symbols, rituals and festivals mean. A practical text on the philosophy inside the different forms of worship.

The art of god-symbolism is ancient, and Hinduism perfected it. For centuries the meaning was neglected, so that symbols, rituals and festivals were shorn of their philosophical significance and reduced to superstition, to be accepted or rejected blindly.

This book explains the symbolic character of the gods and goddesses, the rituals and festivals, and the invocations and prayers, and gives each one its inner meaning. It is written for every reader, and it is the text of our course for children and teenagers.
