A great gift idea

Such a cute little book -- elegantly crafted and designed, with beautiful pictures. I would highly recommend this book, it will soon become one of the favourites in your library. Also makes a great gift idea for anyone you know who has an interest in eastern religion or philosophy.

The spirit of the divine

"Hindu Gods" by Priya Hemenway is a tight well-written synopsis of the Hindu Gods. In just 96 pages she covers the major concepts and gods including many of the well-known ones. Each subject is approximately a page long and accompanies by a Work of art that depicts the subject being written about. If you only read one book or need a starting place on Hinduism here it is. A not too surprising revelation is one of them (The ninth Incarnation of Vishnu) is Gautama Buddha is described from her point of view. Hopefully this book will take some of the mystery out of the Hindu Gods or possibly start your journey of the divine. Be sure not to pass up the Ramayana in your reading travels.
