The book identifies the various scriptures that Hindus follow in the conducting of the religion . It explains the philosophical thoughts, its applications and the purpose or goal. Hinduism not just a religion or philosophy but a way of life for the whole population who follows it.

Mohan Chandra Sivasankaran was born in a practicing Hindu household in October 1948 in the city of Trivandrum, Kerala, India . My Late Father, K.G. Sivasankaran Nair, retired educator, and late mother Sarojini Devi, housewife, were pious Hindus . They were more spiritual than religious . I grew up in such an household . I was exposed to spiritual matters from very young age. Later in life, after graduating from University of Kerala, India majoring in Physics and completing a deploma program in Aeronautical Engineering I started my career as a teacher, teaching physics, mathematics and engineering subjects . About 35 years ago I seriously started reading Hindu scriptures especially Vedas, Upanishads and Commentaries by ancient sages, and practicing on them . This book is the result of such efforts. My beloved wife, Salini Anandavally, has been very inspirational to this effort.
