Hinduism is the oldest living spiritual tradition in the world, and the subtle presence of many of its concepts, techniques, and knowledge in modern life is much more widespread than previously thought. Even so, in the West the Hindu worldview is often misunderstood, if not directly ignored, and it is paradoxical that this ignorance prevents us from seeing that, in the renewed modern secular spirituality, many essential features of the Hindu tradition emerge.

Naren Herrero shows us that this phenomenon we call Hinduism is a valid conception of the divine and of the world that offers a multiplicity of ways for each human being (without having to have Indian blood) to realize their spiritual potential, without excluding material satisfaction. Born and raised in the West, but brought up within the spiritual philosophy of India, Naren could be considered a "West Hindu". With unusual amusement he exposes us high philosophical truths (non-violence, the role of the teacher, the acceptance of death or the sacredness of the Sanskrit language), religious practices (festivals, mantras, rituals, food) and delves into the traditional symbology ( polytheism, goddess, swastika, sacred cows, numerology). And above all, it transmits, in daily and affordable words, guidelines for applying the timeless teachings of Hinduism in our modern life, with the aim of living it more fully.
