“The two chief elements of Vedic religion are the caste system and reincarnation.” (Page 10)
“A person is locked into his caste for a lifetime, but he is able to change his caste in future lifetimes (incarnations) through the right spiritual exercises (Yoga) in his present life.” (Page 10)
“Vedic literature is a collective name given to religious writings that were produced in India between 1500 and 800 B.C.” (Page 10)
“The religions of the East are, in the end, religions of despair.” (Page 8)
“Worship (Puja) is highly individualistic for the Hindu. There is no community worship at fixed hours. Individuals may perform Puja at which gods are honored by offerings of fruit and flowers, the singing of hymns, and the reciting of sacred texts. Puja may take place at an altar in the home, at a roadside shrine, or in a richly adorned temple.” (Page 12)
