Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Swami Prabhavananda, a disciple of Sri Ramakrishna's direct disciple Swami Brahmananda, preached the spiritual message of India in the U.S.A. for more than half a century. Among the many valuable books he has left us, the present one has the uniqueness of giving in a nut shell the development of the whole of India's spiritual philosophy from the Vedic times to Sri Ramakrishna in a way that will be found useful both by spiritual aspirants and academic students of Indian philosophy. An important feature of the book is that the message of all the great teachers of Vedanta like Gaudapada, Sankara, Bhaskara, Yamuna, Ramanuja, Nimbarka, Madhva, Vallabha, Chaitanya, and Ramakrishna finds a place in it, separate sections being devoted to each of them. A general student of Indian Culture, especially of its spiritual and philosophical implication, can find no better book for this purpose.
