""A Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology and Religion, Geography, History and Literature"" by John Dowson is a comprehensive guide to the Hindu religion and culture. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the various deities and their significance, the history of Hinduism, the geography of India, and the literature associated with the religion.The book is divided into several sections, each of which provides detailed information on a particular aspect of Hinduism. The first section covers the mythology of the religion, including the various gods and goddesses and their stories. The second section focuses on the religious practices and rituals of Hinduism, while the third section delves into the history and geography of India.The final section of the book is dedicated to the literature of Hinduism, including the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the various epics and poems associated with the religion. Throughout the book, Dowson provides detailed explanations and interpretations of the various concepts and practices associated with Hinduism.Overall, ""A Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology and Religion, Geography, History and Literature"" is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the Hindu religion and culture. It provides a comprehensive overview of the religion's key concepts and practices, as well as its rich history and literature.In this work an endeavor has been made to supply the long felt want of a Hindu classical dictionary. The main portion of the work consists of mythology, but religion is bound up with mythology, and in many points the two are quite inseparable. The chief geographical names of the old writers have also received notice, and their localities and identifications are described so far as present knowledge extends. Short descriptions have been given of the most frequently mentioned Sanskrit books, but only of such books as are likely to be found in the works of European writers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
