The Book: The wisdom of Hindus has played a very significant part in all walks of human life in the history of the development of human civilization. Its contribution may be compared only with the contribution of Greek wisdom. When it is said today that India may be a world leader tomorrow, most of it will be contributed by the wisdom of the Hindus. Hinduism is not a religion far less a religious sect. It is not a philosophy. It is a style of living, an integrated approach to human life based on the fundamental facts of human nature and man’s status in the Universe. The style and characteristic approach of Hinduism is multi-sided, electric, synoptic, integrated and developmental. This will undoubtedly play a significant role in the future development of humanity. This is the rationale, if a rationale is required at all for this critical summary of the wisdom of the Hindus in this book. It is meant not only for Hindus but for all those admire such an approach.
