Name of the book: Hindu Book of the Dead
Author: Trinath Mishra
Amazing book.. dont at all go by the title.. its more a discourse on the way of life/meaning of existence and its interpretation in various parts of the world. The author gives a detailed and thorough step-by-step understanding into the hindu way of life by relating it to the writings in various religious texts around the world. The author comes out as being extremely well-read and there is a lot of effort and amazing amount of research that has gone into writing this book.
I would specifically recommend the reading of first two chapters to all students of philosophy. The only thing that was not to my liking about this book was its title, which I felt did not do full justice to the contents.
