PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION

This expanded version of Hinduism Simplified is presented in response to the suggestio ns from the readers, both youths and adults. Besides some minor changes more details on the questions of the scriptures, the gods and goddesses, the Hindu calendar, and th e fasts and festivals have been given. In spite of the changes the simplicity and brev ity of the booklet have been maintained.

I hope this new Hinduism Simplified will serve the needs of the readers.
