By Swami Tathagatananda, 599 Pages, Hardcover.
"In this unique and comprehensive book, Swami Tathagatananda shows how Upanishadic ideas have been influencing the West not just for several centuries but for several millennia. He sets the stage for what is to come by pointing out very early that the Upanishads are not dogmatic and thus can offer insights to the modern West as well as the ancient East. The Swami does not merely deal in generalizations but fills in the particulars all along the line, from the ancient Greeks to the Transcendentalists of New England and up through the twentieth century. The history of ideas is a very edifying study and Swami Tathagatananda has provided a great service to the world by bringing together in one thoughtful volume a wealth of facts and insights that have probably taken decades to collect and develop."
