Description

About The Book: Sketch of the Religious Sects of the Hindus by H.H. Wilson, first published in 1828, provides an early and comprehensive account of Hindu religious sects and their philosophical distinctions. The book examines the major sects such as Vaishnavism, Shaivism, and Shaktism, along with various sub-sects, their rituals, deities, and theological beliefs. Wilson, a noted Indologist, relied on both classical Sanskrit texts and field observations, contributing significantly to the Western understanding of Hinduism and its diverse traditions.
