James A. Kirk

4.9/5 (11186 ratings)

Description:James A. Kirk introduces Hindu traditions to Western readers in much the same way an Indian family introduces them to its children: through the folk tales, ceremonies, and popular wisdom of Hindu culture. These stories, writes Kirk, "are not primarily important religious texts, but they employ many of the assumptions, attitudes, and unsophisticated forms of the Hindu Religion." For the reader who wishes a more sensitive initiation into the texture of Hindu faith, or for the student who wishes to enrich his knowledge of the Hindu classics, these tales - the myths, legends, popular dramas, and meditations which form the religious education of the Hindu and shape his spiritual universe from infancy through the adult years - offer entertaining, enlightening, and thought-provoking glimpses of an approach to spirituality that is only now coming to be appreciated in the West.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
