(A Hindu from Birth to Birth) Hindu life-cycle rituals and customs. Based on theoretical studies and Bengali fiction concerning the field but mainly on the author's direct experience from her stays in Bengali middle-class households. The aim of the book is not only to acquaint European readers with common-life Hinduism, but also to make them compare the distant culture with their own, to discover similarities with the extinct or dying-out customs and beliefs in the Christian cultural sphere and to appreciate the positive features of traditional Hindu family relations as compared with the Western self-centred consumers' society.
