Today, several Hindu youngsters do not have much knowledge on Hinduism. In particular, the Indian diaspora are ignorant about their own religion. It is a small wonder that many youngsters in India and abroad have urged me to write a simple book on Hinduism. They want to have better understanding of the religion they love and follow. I am aware that there are any number of books available on Hinduism. But, several of them are written in a style that is extremely difficult to comprehend. The youngsters and students require a book written in simple language to understand the basic concepts of Hinduism, which is vast and highly involved. That is why I have to spend several years to get a grasp of the subject myself. I have served as a Space Scientist and researcher for 25 years and thereafter, as a Professor and educational administrator and researcher for 20 more years. Naturally, I have gone through hundreds of books, reports, blogs and URLs over a period of 15 years before publishing the book. However, study on Hinduism has given me more emotional satisfaction than any investigation of science and technology. Even though, I am a scientist, I believe that religion and science should be kept apart. Because, religion is based on belief. I have tried to present varied aspects of Hinduism as accurately as possible. I have tried to give answers to the various questions raised by the youngsters through Question-Answer format, based on extensive study of the available data. My own personal opinions are kept to the minimum. I have done the Cover Design, Book Design and formatting myself without any external assistance, even at my age of 74 to conserve resources. There are a billion Hindus living not only India, but also in countries such as USA, Canada, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, Burma, Middle East, Guyana, Suriname, etc., for whom, this book will be extremely useful. The Indian diaspora requires a better understanding of Hinduism, because, they have been living away from India for a long time. This book will help the diaspora and NRI children to get a clear picture about Hinduism, Indian culture and traditions. Further, this book will be useful to the school and college students who want to have a good knowledge of Hinduism in simple terms. This book will also be useful to the Hindu scholars, experts and saints who won't mind yet another interpretation of Hinduism: this time from a Scientist. I hope the youngsters in India and abroad will benefi from this work.

This book is, thus, an effort to compile the history, development and the basic tenets of Hinduism which guide the way of life of one fifth of humanity on earth. Effort has been made to include only the basic information that has helped a Hindu to choose a desired path from amongst the many that have been lighted up by Hindu sages to achieve their goal, that of attaining ‘Moksha’ or ‘Mukti’, which means that he or she obtains relief from the cycle of birth and death through good Karmas. This is the central precept of Hinduism. Interaction with people in foreign countries, other than Hindus, reveals that they have little knowledge about Hinduism. It is learnt that British schools have a period or two, in class eight, to deal with all religions which is obviously insufficient to make a child of that age to even understand the actual meaning of the word religion. Hindus who migrated abroad from India at a young age and those who were born abroad, except for Mauritius and Fiji islands where Hindus have lived as a cohesive community for over a century, and those who have continued to maintain their links with their original faith, many have started losing touch with the basics of their religion. Generally, there is a perceptible lack of authentic knowledge about the beginnings of Hindu religion and its evolution over the ages into what it represents today.

Hinduism has an extraordi1 Inary wealth of scriptures but people have no time to read the religious books like Vedas; Puranas; Upanishads etc. Therefore; an attempt has been made to have a single volume that forms the foundation of our civilisation's heritage to seek inspiration and a sense of direction in our lives. The Vedas prescribe some regulations and if someone follows them; one will be free from material entanglement. The Puranas; each named after a deity Brahma; Vishnu and Shiva; are the post vedic texts which contain a complete narrative of the history on the Universe from creation to destruction. The Upanishads represent the essence of the Vedas. The Smritis explain and elaborate the Vedas; making them understandable and more meaningful to the general population. The Bhagwad Gita is in the form of a dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna who teaches him to do his duty. The Mahabharata is not only an epic but tells the tale of heroic people; containing a code of life; a philosophy of social and ethical relations. The Ramcharitamanas provides the guidelines for an ideal family; an ideal king and an ideal mother. This book gives a brief about holy books of Hinduisma must read for every Hindu and Bharatiya.
