It was a very auspicious day at Gandhi-Mandir of Weine, New Jersy, USA when I delivered a lecture on 'Positive Thinking' especially on the invitation of Mr. Navanitbhai Vora. It was auspicious because I happened to meet Dr. Shashikant Patel. I have no words to describe his greatness. He invited me to join his twelfth Kaliash Yatra and my wife Smt. Nilam Patel and myself went to holy Mana-Sarovara and Kailash. Those were the best cherishable days of our life.

Those days were best because we came across many loving hearted people among them. Dr. Suryakanta Shukla and Dr. Mrudulaben Shukla were there. On my visit to USA in the year 2008 they suggested that our Indian children who desire to know about Hinduism require some specific help so that not only they learn Hinduism but by knowing its greatness they do love and respect their religion. Unfortunately due to the long history, many sects and various thoughts like tributaries have mingled with the main flow in the Ganga of Hinduism. Hence many times contrary or contradictory statements, situations or thoughts are found in Hinduism. This gave an apportunity to many opponents, detractors to comment in their own way against Hinduism and our children have to face them.

To provide enough arguments to our students to answer such ridiculous questions on one side and to equip them with proper precepts and principles of Hinduism, Dr. Suryakantbhai and Dr. Mrudulaben kindly suggested to me to write a book on Hinduism. This is the story of the birth of this book.

This noble couple have a daughter named Smt. Himani and a grand daughter Miss Karena. They have sent me some relevant questions regarding Hindusim with a view that the answers to them would be appreciated on their part. These questions really formed a base on which the structure of this book is erected.
