The Indian Way

by John M. Koller

There is no other book on the market today that explains both the philosophies and religions of India in their full historical development. The Indian Way is accessible to readers new to this subject, and does justice to the Indian tradition’s richness of religious and philosophical thought. Clear and powerful explanations of yajna and dharma, and appealing, intimate descriptions of Krishna, Kali, and Shiva allow you to read some of the great Indian texts for themselves. For anyone interested in learning more about India and its great tradition of answering the “big” philosophical and religious questions that we all “Who am I?” “What is knowledge?” “What is it to be a good person?”

crazy experience I actually started reading this book in my sleep!! vedic fire rituals are best performed while you are half-conscious and your roommate is making every possession they own hit every other possession really really loud!

Despite the title, this book has nothing to do with engineering. This was part of the required reading list for a course on Hinduism. This book discusses worship practices and religious beliefs rather than the stories of the gods that you might find in a mythology book. Fascinating.
