A n interesting book with beautiful pictures, The Hidden Glory of India is a must-read for all who want to know more about the Indian mythology. Beautifully designed, the book gives crisp description of the various facets of India: Vaishnavism, the ancient texts, Krishna as the supreme power, the deities, Karma and reincarnation, Lord Buddha, Ayurveda, poetry, art, dance, music, temples, yoga and meditation, to name a few.

There’s so much to learn from the book – you wonder how much you actually know about India. It revolves around one theme – Gaudiya Vaishnavism – the Vaishnava religion propounded by Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (1498-1555) who is revered as an incarnation of Krishna.
