Synopsis

Aiming to turn inside-out models currently used for the teaching of Hinduism, Nancy Falk’s new LIVING HINDUISMS aims to introduce students to this religion through an illuminating presentation of its lived practices. Recognizing an all-too-frequent disconnect that students of Hinduism feel when confronted with the actual sights and sounds of contemporary Hindu rituals, Nancy Falk brings these experiences to life through an astute and eye-opening exploration of Hinduism’s diverse, yet--as she argues--unified traditions.
