I rarely find books in English covering both the breath as well as depth of "Sanatana Dharma" without distorting the scientific /philosophical underpinnings... The book is worth a read - this covers the practices of South India in a detailed manner.

They have changed their forms from being cultural and binding factors to just business centres. mostly people who are visiting the temples are doing mechanical things. how can we revive the temples as discussion forums for arts, culture, social responsibilities from being just "transactional" in nature. there are satsangas being organized in the temples, but they just follow the bhakthi movement. how can we revive usage of sanskrit, learning of vedas, and then to create a more responsible generation than ours? ideas are welcome...
