In "Hindu Dharma: Introduction to Scriptures and Theology" briefly the essentials of the scriptures of the Hindu Dharma such as the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Smriti Shā stras like the Purā nas, the Tantras, the epics (Rā mā yana and Mahā bhā rata) and the Bhagavad Gitā have been described and discussed. Also, the concepts of Brahman and Ā tman, the goal of Hindu life (Purushā rthas) and other doctrines like 'Varnā shrama', 'Samskā ras' of the Dharma have been briefly discussed. Further what 'Pujā '(worship) is and how it is performed is described. Finally, a few well-known prayer (Mantras hymns) are provided. The objective has been to describe the difficult ideas of the "Hindu Dharma" in a simple way so readers will get a broad idea about the contents of the various scriptures and the theology and philosophy of the "Hindu Dharma."
