The sacred subject of the eternal, living spiritual culture of the Upanishads and their journey to the West deserves attention of a wider public. This book is a comprehensive treatment of the broad achievements of India's civilization and spiritual culture as it is revealed through the works of Western scholars.
May I be born again and again, and suffer thousands of miseries so that I may worship the only God that exists, the only God I believe in, the sum total of all souls--and, above all, my God the wicked, my God the miserable, my God the poor of all races, of all species, is the special object of my worship.
-Swami Vivekananda
