Recenzje

"Passage to Perfect Happiness: The Ancient Vedic Wisdom presents a detailed yet clear overview of Vedic wisdom that can be appreciated by the average reader. A particular virtue of this book is its exploration of the influence of this wisdom on important cultural figures of the Western world. This shows that Vedic wisdom is not only a product of the ancient past, but is something that bears universal relevance, and remains important even today. Indeed today, perhaps more than ever, the world is in need of an approach to truth that allows for difference, and that is committed to a state of harmony and the well-being of all." -Jeffery D. Long, Carl W. Zeigler Professor of Religion, Philosophy, and Asian Studies, Elizabethtown College
