Great info, Even better reader
I got this to learn about the Hindu religions and the one thing that kept me engaged was the reader. Neil Shah is an excellent reader! His reading style and voice kept me wanting to hear more about what was in this book. In fact I now am looking into more of the books he reads just because he reads them. I want to thank him specifically for reading this. Niel, keep this up, I could listen to all the books you read. If only I had more time. :)

Well I bought the book...
After hearing half of this book I purchased the paperback version so that I can easily maintain this knowledge. Very happy with the delivery as well as the content.

Basic yet Detailed
I selected this text as part of my journey this year, in 2020, to better understand world religions. This book allowed me to be introduced on a basic level to Hinduism and would also allow the reader to take a deeper dive into this particular religion. I will admit that I ended up skipping/scanning through later chapters as I did not feel a need to know and understand the depth that this text takes the reader. This met my need and interest for learning; however, in hindsight, I could have possibly selected a text that was a bit lighter.

Good overview
I like the book, very good overview of hindhuism. Part 5 was a bit too deep for me, will re-read later to understand better.

Extremely extensive but tip of the iceberg
Excellent overview. I will have to re-listen several times. Very intriguing and beautiful philosophy.

Author’s writing style
Author’s writing style feels like it requires reader to have Olympics level of fitness to be able to jump from one topic to another from one point in history or geography to another while following author in his well intended efforts to present extensive content by jumping extensively in every possible direction with missing consistency and focus.
Perhaps future versions will bring more consistency and focus and make it more aligned with the title.
