Encyclopaedia on Hinduism
Staff Reporter
It took 33 years for the swamiji to compile the book
TREASURE: The cover of the book.
BANGALORE: “It was the lack of infrastructure leading to dearth in the study of Hinduism which propelled me to write this encyclopaedia,” stated Swami Harshanandaji of the Ramakrishna Monastic Order and the author of “A Concise Encyclopaedia of Hinduism”, the first such work on Hinduism in English.
Covering approximately 3,600 entries on the religion the encyclopaedia deals with important topics such as religion, philosophy, mythology, rituals, scriptural works, festivals and pilgrims centres in great detail. As Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism are closely related to Hinduism, they too have been described briefly along with biographies of their founders.
Swami Harshananda, who has written 80 books, took 33 years to research and complete the encyclopaedia, which is a three-volume compilation. Priced at Rs. 1,500, it is expected to be released in April. For bookings, contact the Ramakrishna Math, Bull Temple Road, Bangalore-04 or call Ph: 26613149 or 26671010.
