Hinduism is a "way of life" for its followers. When focusing on the powers of the divine, the human mind is accustomed to worshipping idols and forms. This is referred to as the 'symbol' hinted in the title of this piece of religious literature. To ease the way of contemplation for people, idols and symbols have been developed in Hinduism. This book serves as a guide to understand the existence and meaning of each such religious symbol. Worshipping without an understanding of the profundity and importance of all aspects of an idol is meaningless and false, as per the writer. Hence, the author, a religious 'guru', writes down the details of the meaning and underlying truth about each symbol found in common Hindu religious practice. It aims at infusing much meaning to the lifeless forms of worship and educate the human mind about the importance of every facet of the Hindu religion.
