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 accompanied 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 that one of them (The Ninth Incarnation of Vishnu) is Gautama Buddha, as 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 to the divine. Be sure not to pass up the Ramayana in your reading travels.
