Max Muller’s fascination for India is well-known. This book was intended to familiarise the western world with the vastness and depth of Indian philosophy. Metrical translations of ancient hymns, Vedanta philosophy, reformist, religious movements, an in-depth study of the doctrines of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa – strands of thought blend seamlessly in this work of erudition. Dedicated to his ‘Indian friends’, it is also rich in personal memories-of Dwarkanath Tagore and Raja Radhakanta Deva among others.
