The encyclopedia could have been greatly improved with the inclusion of glossaries giving the terms in the various languages involved. Sanskrit and English would be the obvious minimum. Although the volume is adequate for the general reader, this conspicuous omission limits its usefulness for the more serious researcher.
Libraries that already have common religion reference sources, such as Eliade's The Encyclopedia of Religion (Macmillan, 1987), will probably find no reason to add this new encyclopedia to their collections. However, academic libraries supporting large religious studies departments may want to buy this for the added coverage. Public libraries that have no other resources on Hinduism might also consider it. RBB
