{"product_id":"2940045368773","title":"Many Many Many Gods of Hinduism","description":"\u003cp\u003eTolerance has been the cornerstone of Hinduism. But that was yesterday.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnigmatic Hindu guru Swami Achuthananda, emerging from the icy-cold mountains of the Himalayas, takes generation XYZ on a journey to ancient India to discover the wisdom of its ancestors and the secrets to the future. Surveying the religious landscape, Swamiji notes with disbelief that a great deal of misinformation exists in the way Hinduism is portrayed. But Swamiji is no wimp when he rounds up a few rogue academics, like water buffaloes in the wild, for perverting history and perpetuating century-old myths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Hindu literature is diverse and vast and will take you several cycles of rebirth to comprehend,\" says Swamiji. \"It's best understood by those who have a genuine interest and appreciation of the culture.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a comprehensive book on Hinduism. It tells you why Hindus do the things they do - and don't. Written in a casual style, the book guides you through the fundamentals of the religion. It then goes further and debunks a number of long-standing myths, some of them coming from the academia (of all places). While most books shy away from contentious issues, this book plunges headlong by taking on controversies, like the Aryan Invasion Theory, idol worship, RISA scholarship and many more. In fact one-third of the book is just on controversies that you rarely find in any other literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swami Achuthananda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067421245680,"sku":"2940045368773","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045368773_p0.jpg?v=1763974484","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045368773","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
