One cannot start following a religion by reading a book! Its through personal experience and belief! Hinduism is not just a religion it's a way of life, the mind set of the people must change! Westerners have a closed and controlled one! In order to follow Hinduism it's the mindset that has to change. And besides how can someone learn more than 5000 years of history about he religion in a small book!
