In Indian society, religion has mainly provided the impetus to the growth of knowledge, devotion and artistic endeavor. Besides, a sacred text like Bhagavad Gita lays much emphasis on detached action; even while people are immersed in the toil and turmoil of life, they can develop spirituality. The spectrum of religion includes observance of rituals, participation in collective celebrations and mystical encounters. The Indian religions have primarily responded to the plurality of beliefs and heterogeneity of groups. This has given rise to a value relativism which is often problematic: cognitive dissent rather than consensus is implicit in India's religious tradition. I hope that this book will be interesting to those who are keen on knowing about India's religious life.
