2003 production which is part of a larger series covering other religions. There are 6 tested cassettes (12 lectures) and a booklet which surrounds the clamshell case. The booklet is not needed as Mark Muesse' style, comprehensiveness and delivery are detailed yet fully understandible standalone. Although the oldest known religion, Hinduism is still primarily Indian. The belief is one of the largest in the world due to India's billion plus population. There are numerous (millions) of gods with many traditions, most localized - some are quite thought provoking e.g. redeathing and later life asceticism. Definitely a referential item for those involved with world religions.
