Last weekend I attended the course on "Inner Teachings of Hinduism Revealed" and today I completed reading this book. It took almost 3 weeks to read this book. Not that the book is exhaustive.... But the content of the book is so intense, thought provoking that I had to take a break meditate and digest the information frequently.
On my own, my logical brain never wondered what could be the possible meanings of the Hindu customs, traditions, chantings, pictures of the Gods and Godesses.
Did you know:
Ganesha does not literally mean a God with elephant head?
Hanuman is not really a monkey? Which also means he is NOT the missing link between monkeys and humans...
The real message of the festival holi and the significance of flying the kites?
Why do Hindus draw Swastik in the Pooja room?
Why are our Gods shown with blue skin?
Does the dips in the Ganga remove karmas?
Did Lord Krishna dance on a snake 🐍?
Significance of the Kalyani in the temples?
Significance of the peacock feather?
.
.
.
...... I can go on :)
I strongly recommend reading this book. We will not only appreciate the rituals and practices of Hinduism but also be motivated to practice and benefit.
The best impact of this book is.... It opens our eye to realise that "Truth is universal. All religions in the world speak the same truth worded differently".
