the Definitive Book on Vedic Literature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I found the presentation to be brilliant, information to be authentic and overall the book to be highly accessible. Out of all the numerous books,such as encyclopedias on Hinduism, commentaries on Vedas, this books stands out tall due to the non-sectarianism, clarity and above all authenticity. If you are overwhelmed by the various schools of vedic philosophies and the numerous books on them, then pick up this concise book and it'll quench your knowledge thirst. I particularly found Chapter5(The Teachings of the Acharyas and Chapter6(Impersonalism Versus Theism) of much help. Table of Contents: Foreword Preface Chapter 1: What Are the Vedas? Chapter 2: The Empirical Approach to Vedic Literature Chapter 3: Essential Elements of Vedic Thought Chapter 4: Vedic Literature: Siddhanta and History Chapter 5: The Teachings of the Acharyas Chapter 6: Impersonalism Versus Theism Chapter 7: The Vedic Social Philosophy Chapter 8: Sri Isha Upanishad Chapter 9: Bhagavad-gita Chapter 10: Bhagavata Purana The First Indologists Bibliography Glossary Index
