Description
|
|
|
|
Gathering significant representative texts from a variety of sectarian traditions, this reader provides a broad and intelligent selection of primary Hindu literature. The volume is divided into two main parts; the first presents selections exploring major themes in classical Sanskrit traditions, including those in the Vedic, Upanishad, and Dharma literatures, as well as the philosophical-religious schools. The second part includes selections that highlight the sectarian and devotional movements related to such deities as Vishnu, Shiva, Krishna, Rama, Sant, Tantra, and the goddess figures. Along with a general introductory chapter on Indian literature, each section is introduced with an essay that places the selections within the context of Hindu history.
