Some have confided to Hinduism Today magazine publisher Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami that they do not feel qualified to give such a presentation. There is clearly a need for an authentic, non-academic introduction to Hinduism that can be presented with confidence on such occasions. Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami prepared this Publisher&#8217;s Desk editorial (drawn from Hinduism Today&#8217;s book &#8220;What Is Hinduism?&#8221;) as a broad summary of our faith that can be used to properly educate others in the basics of Hinduism, minus all the misconceptions and myths. <\/p>\n<p>The 45-minute, graphic-rich video is available on YouTube in five parts, beginning <a HREF=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0w9OCPguVGY\">here<\/a>.
