Description

The Spiritual Heritage of India is a brief history of the philosophy of a country that has never distinguished philosophy from religion.  The account extends from centuries of which there is no historical record to the recent Sri Ramakrishna revival of the ancient Vedanta.  Sufficient quotations from the texts concerned as incidental illustration and sometimes also as appended passages, to give body and force to the exposition have been given in connection with each of the subjects taken up. Chapter and verse references for quotations from the Upanishads, the Bhagavad-Gita, the Bhagavatam, and the Vivekachudamani are to the Sanskrit originals.
