Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on Hinduism as a social system rather than a religion. While many believe Hinduism is a religious organization involving worship of many gods, the author shows that belonging to the Hindu social order does not require belief in any specific religious tenets. Instead, it is about observing societal rules. The author's central argument is that across centuries of social, political, and religious change in India, the one constant has been the Hindu social structure. Across time periods, different religious and philosophical movements have come and gone, yet the framework of the Hindu castes has remained, proving remarkably adaptable and inclusive. As beliefs have changed and new systems have been introduced, Hinduism hasâ"like the ocean churning out the nectar of truthâ"incorporated these ideas, evolving and assimilating them to create something new. Hinduism's strength, the author argues, is its inherent flexibility, which has enabled it to survive and retain its vitality through millennia of cultural change. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330260258_0
