Hinduism and the Baha'i Faith

by Dr Moojan Momen MB Bchir

Dr Momen examines the Bahá'í approach * Darshana * Dharma * Moksha and gives an account * significant Hindu prophecies * the Bahá'í social teachings, laws and history * the Bahá'í community. Hinduism is one of the most ancient of the existing religious traditions; the Bahá'í Faith is the most modern. Here is an introduction to the Bahá'í Faith for those of the Hindu tradition. Most presentations of the Bahá'í Faith have been from Western, Christian or Islamic viewpoint. This approach excludes much of the world's population. By presenting it from the perspective of the Hindu tradition, Dr Momen provides people from this background with information about the Bahá'í Faith in a way which is meaningful to them while giving Bahá'ís new insights into their religion.

Excellent book that serves to both concisely introduce the Baha'i Faith and point out the similarities and connections between Hinduism and the Baha'i Faith.

Bigotry bursts forth from every corner of the text. The writer is obviously bias: he misrepresents the teachings, scriptural injunctions, strictures in Hinduism to make the ancient religion conform to the belief system of Bahai, which is hardly a living cell compared to the ancient religion which stands tall like the Spinosaurus.

It is a great intro to Bahai faith for Hindus but I am not able to say it is able to capture the vastness of Hindu culture and the religion.

Understanding all religions and finding connections is a positive. A nice overview of where we can see Religions are One.
