This book is about a civilisation which is known for recitation of 6000 years old hymns and 'mantras' during life cycle events like births, marriages, deaths, etc. even today. "The survival of Hinduism through the ravages of time extending over centuries and millennia is one of the wonders of history", says the author. He goes on to add: "other religions and civilizations may justify their existence by their achievements, but the very existence of Hinduism for around six thousand years is its biggest achievement", Wading through oceans of historical, theological and scriptural materials, the author gives a gripping account of this great survivor and the saviours.
