The Sraddha

The Sraddha is a book written by David Urquhart in 1857, which explores the concept of Sraddha, a Hindu ritual of offering food and prayers to ancestors. The book examines the importance of Sraddha as a keystone of Brahminical, Buddhistic, and Arian religions, and its role in illustrating the dogma and duty of adoption. Urquhart delves into the history and significance of Sraddha, including its evolution and variations across different regions and time periods. He also discusses the symbolism and spiritual significance of Sraddha, and how it reflects the values and beliefs of the Hindu faith. The book provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of Sraddha, and its place in the broader context of Hinduism and other related religions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
