This book, first published in 1968, is the first general encyclopedia of Hinduism covering every major aspect of Hindu life and thought. It contains over 700 articles, each a comprehensive account of the subject, and by a system of cross references interlinks all topics related to it, so that a single theme may be traced through the two volumes.
This work, first published in 1968, presents the fabulous world of Hinduism in its entirety in two volumes. It is the first general encyclopedia of Hinduism covering every major aspect of Hindu life and thought, embodying the results of modern scholarship yet not ignoring the traditional point of view. It contains over 700 articles, each of which gives a comprehensive account of the subject, and by a system of cross references interlinks all topics related to it, so that a single theme may be traced in all its ramifications through the whole book. An index of over 8,000 items, which in itself forms a veritable treasury of Sanskrit terms and names, will further assist the researcher finding their way among the lesser topics treated in the work.
