Fortunely, Hinduism has many other fully authorized scriptures which are open to the public and easy and fun to read. Like the Veda they were originally passed on through the generations by word of mouth. There were people whose job it was to memorize these huge texts and then travel around reciting them. When they showed up in a village, everyone would come running. Work was called off and folks would sit for days listening to the expert chant the scripture. It was like going to the movies, except you imagined the scenes on the screen of your mind.
