Hindu Feasts, Fasts and Ceremonies - Paperback

by S. M. Natesa Sastri (Author)

Hindu Feasts, Fasts and Ceremonies by S. M. Natesa Sastri first published in 1903. The simpler tenets of religion and the more popular tales and legends are learned from the lips of parents and teachers: but there is much that can only be learned from books. Further, in these days of hurry and stress, by which even India is being more or less affected, the old leisurely, yet possibly more thorough, methods of oral tradition and teaching are no longer possible, and we must trust more and more to written and printed records.
