Since its first publication A study of Time in Indian philosophy has been acclaimed as having successfully shown the simple falsity of such clichés that the Indian view of time is cyclic or that it is exclusively illusory. Given the variety of views discussed in this work it is evident that the theme of time is intimately related to such basic concepts as being and becoming change and causality creation and annihilation. It has been therefore observed that this book makes an excellent introduction to the heart of Indian thought.
