Produktbeschreibung

"This book explores the beliefs and practices of Hinduism as a lived religion and engages with Hindu beliefs and practices. Aspects of Hinduism explored include the concepts that form the central beliefs of Hinduism, and the expression of these beliefs in worship, daily life, and the ethics of Hindus in the modern day. It uses the authentic voices of insiders to highlight differences in the ways Hinduism is understood and lived in different circumstances. Each chapter provides reflective tasks for the reader to consider the concepts and how they can be taught in the classroom"--
