The Tao Te Ching is a series of meditations on the mysterious nature of the Tao—the Way, the guiding light, the very source of all existence.

The image of the swan gracefully sporting amidst lotus flowers, symbols of purity, stands in stark opposition to the crow lingering around rubbish and weeds. This dichotomy, referenced for millennia by those with knowledge of the Absolute...

This book aims to provide a comprehensive yet accessible understanding of what is commonly known as Hinduism, drawing upon the rich tapestry of its foundational texts and traditions. It is important to note from the outset that the term "Hinduism" itself is not found within the oldest scriptural traditions, such as the Vedas.
