Preface

Religious texts play an important role in benefiting society as well as in upholding the values in it. The Vedas, the Ramayana, the Gita, the Puraanas and the Mahabharata are some of Hindu’s ancient religious texts that have been guiding the society for ages towards the development of a better society. A God-fearing person on his own desists himself from doing wrong, as he is aware of the omnipresence of the Lord. Hindu religious texts make one aware of one’s duties and of the principles of Dharma or righteous behaviour. The term ‘God-fearing’ does not mean that one is a coward. In fact, it signifies a strong aversion to doing wrong. This is what these ancient texts try to teach everybody.

As the original texts are too voluminous, we have presented their essence in the form of unique quiz books, which not only enrich the mind with the knowledge of Hinduism but also enlighten the reader on the philosophical concepts of Hinduism. This ‘Quiz Book Hindu Goddesses’ appeases our curiosity about prime Hindu Goddesses in an interesting manner.
