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.
Pray all the time, read all the scriptures in the world, and worship all the gods there are ...[but] unless you realize the Self (atman), there is no freedom.
-Swami Vivekananda
