Hinduism. The Eternal Way
Description
Its followers prefer to call it Sanatana Dharma - the Eternal Way - but in the West the 4,000-year-old group of practices and beliefs is known as Hinduism. This program traces the origins of Hinduism before examining its main tenets, major deities, and sacred texts. Particular attention is paid to how cultural customs in India are shaped by Hinduism, with information on bhakti yoga, Diwali, and the Bhagavad Gita, and what living according to the Dharma means to Hindus today. Filmed on location in India, the U.K., and Iceland.
