A rich and varied anthology of representative selections from the Rigveda, the Upanishads, Yoga Aphorisms, Ramayana, Panchatantra, Dhammapada, Sermons, Parables and Legends, Surangama Sutra and Swami Paramananda's translation of the entire Bhagvad Gita. It is a wise and carefully annotated distillation of Indian mystical and philosophical thought, with an admixture of fable and humour. The selections have been made based on knowledge and love of Hindu and Buddhist writings.
