At the outset, I must tell the readers that this is not a work to propagate the Hindu religion, but to explain the Hindu culture as it existed in India before the advent of all other religions of the world. The origin of almost all tenets and beliefs mentioned predates the religions of the Abrahamic faith and its establishment in India, and it is for this reason, I felt it is more accurate to call it 'Hindu Sutras' rather than 'Indian Sutras' although the two constantly overlap. Indians practicing other faiths should consider it an inheritance or, more appropriately phrased, a genetic endowment.

I am an agnostic Indian who wishes to abide by the culture of Hinduism.
