Mark W. Muesse’s book shows how rich and diverse Hinduism’s 5,000-year-old story truly is. He traces the vast history and practices of the religion’s traditions, moving from the origins in the Indus Valley up through classic and contemporary periods, and demonstrates how the Hindu tradition is both monotheistic and polytheistic.
