Discusses the classical Hindu texts like Bhagavad G?t?, Vedas, Pur?]nas, and Br?hma]nas, etc., from classical to modern age, from the perspective of comparative studies.
The book touches upon certain tools and approaches, which are an essential part of the curriculum taught in the religious studies classes, such as etymological understanding of certain Sanskrit terms used in Hindu sacred texts, problem of inconsistencies and contradictions in reading the Hindu religious texts, approach to the Upani]sads from the medieval and modern commentaries given by the contemporary scholars, understanding of religious texts in the light of modern-day period, and comparative studies of Hindu texts with the Semitic religions' sacred texts.
The author sheds a new light in the field of comparative studies in Hinduism. This book is beneficial for those who are interested in the history of Hinduism, Hindu hermeneutics, Hindu philosophy and scholars of Sanskrit literature and language. Since comparative religions and theological studies is one of the most popular discipline in the western universities, this book is also important for those students, professors and scholars, who are interested in Hindu studies, inter-faith understanding and dialogues and also to the scholars in codicology and palaeography.
