The Essence of Hindu Holy Scriptures

By Hseham Atina

In various Hindu scriptures like Varnashrama Dharma, human religion, Karma Yoga, Ashtanga yoga, Jnana yoga, Bhakti yoga, etc., all the means of attaining God have been described simply. Through these, the easy path of attainment of God has been shown through devotion to both the means and the end. In these most sacred texts, psychology, sociology, world origins, and the history of the Aryan race are described in such beautiful, simple, and cultured language that the holy feelings are communicated to the readers unintentionally. The Hindu texts are certainly full of great secrets.
Keeping this rule in mind, these texts should be studied and contemplated. In the scriptures, all the faults are said to be discarded and the inauspicious fruitful. There is no place in this for lust, anger, greed, attachment, adultery, etc. The sacred texts are supposed to bestow age, health, and confirmation; by reading or listening to them, one becomes free from all sins.
All the Mahabharata, Shiva Purana, Shri Krishna Leela, Ramayana, Veda, Gita, etc. are all Hindu Holy Scriptures, which have guided people in developing society since time immemorial. We have tried to transform the big epics like Mahabharata, Shiva Purana, Shri Krishna Leela, Ramayana, Veda, etc., into a small and easy quiz format by which one can playfully learn about the Hindu Holy Scriptures. This particular book contains objective-type questions. This Quiz Book appeases curiosity about the Hindu Holy Scriptures interestingly.
