"I can heartily recommend this book to anyone thirsting for perennial wisdom".--Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D., author of Sacred Paths.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>How did the universe come into being? What is the nature of God? Of the human spirit? All who seek understanding will find this book an illuminating presentation of India's oldest and most profound religious and philosophical tradition. <i>The Wisdom of the Vedas</i> was first published in 1931 by Kailas Press under the title <i>India's Outlook on Life</i>. The Theosophical Publishing House published a second edition in 1973, and again in 1980 under the Quest imprint. The present 1992 edition was edited to reflect the modern use of inclusive language, and includes an introduction by Vedic scholar David Frawley. Mr. Frawley explains to the Western reader, The Vedas are the original scripture or source teaching of the Hindu tradition, from which its many branches of Vedanta, Yoga, and Tantra have emerged through time, and to which they all look back with reverence. The Vedas are also ..the background relative to which the Buddhist religion evolved, and Buddhism also preserves many Vedic terms and practices. The study then, of the Vedas is important to understanding many different Eastern teachings. The author is from India, and has an unusual ability to frame the subtleties of Eastern thought for the Western world.
