============================================================
The present book is encyclopedic in character, presenting everything that 
one needs to know about Hinduism. The author, who has dedicated his life to 
the propagation of Hinduism in USA for the past several years, may also be 
described as the beacon light of the Srivaishnava tradition in far off 
lands.

The book, running to 830 pages, has been divided in six parts, which take 
the general reader step by step to the intricacies of Hinduism, the 
importance of Vedas and Upanishads, the Tattvatraya, the efficacy of 
Prapatti, a synopsis of the 32 sections of Svami Desika?s ?Rahasya Traya 
Sara?, the refutation of the Advaitic concept of Maya, the role of pontiffs 
of the Srivaishnava Maths and an interesting account of the concepts of 
creation and dissolution. This book contains a lot of valuable information 
for students of history of religion. The Annexures and the Epilogue contain 
the list of Gotras and Pravaras, names of the 27 Nakshatras, Yogas and 
Karanas, names of the months and years. Details of the Non-Indian and 
Non-Hindu authors who have done extensive research into religion in general 
and Hinduism in particular, also find a place in this book.

The author has to be congratulated for the patience with which he has 
produced this monumental work which reflect his deep and all-round knowledge 
of the Srivaishnava faith, and for the commitment with which he has been 
serving the tradition. He has been disseminating Hinduism and Vaishnavism in 
a foreign land, for the benefit of those who need reliable information in a 
style that is highly admirable and simple. One may also observe in 
conclusion that the author has perhaps erred on the side of being too 
elaborate with every kind of information compiled in the book, of course, 
with the grand intention of educating the young aspiring Hindu-Vaishnavas 
born and bred in foreign lands.
