First Encyclopedia on Hinduism

President of India Shree Pranab Mukherjee has released the first copy of the Encyclopedia of Hinduism on June 23, 2014 at a function in Rashtrapati Bhawan. He also praised Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji of the Parmarth Niketan Rishikesh, the founder-chairman of India Heritage Research Foundation (IHRF) for the efforts in bringing out the encyclopaedia.



Speaking at the function, the President said that "the basic tenet of Hinduism is happiness, health and enlightenment for everyone, and suffering, pain and agony for none." He also said, "Hindu philosophy identifies 'Dharma', 'Artha', 'Kama' and 'Moksh' as the foremost objectives of a human being, and striking a balance in human behaviour in working towards these objectives has been prescribed as a key aim of human existence".
