Raju on Indian Religion
In this book, Raju attempts to explain to Western students the complex theories behind Indian philosophical thought. He covers the major schools within Hinduism as well as Buddhism, Jainism, and contemporary trends. The book is the only one of its kind in that it addresses such a broad subject mater in an elementary text. The only problem I had with he book is that, in attempting to teach Western students about Eastern concepts, Raju often uses Western psychological terms to express Eastern ideas such as karma and reincarnation. I believe that such a distillation of powerful concepts by describing them in Western terms cheapens what is an otherwise informative and sympathetic view of Indian religion. However, in general, this book is a good place to start if you are looking to delve into Indian religion.
