Riassunto

The scriptures revered by Hindus are enormously varied, and R. C. Zaehner's anthology has long been considered invaluable for its breadth and diversity. Now Dominic Goodall expands Zaehner's work with three fresh translations, including one work that appears for the first time in English. Spanning more than two thousand years, the range of selections in this book include arcane hymns of the ancient Aryans, prescriptions governing every aspect of the daily life of the orthodox, and sensual poetry.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

"The Veda, the Upanishads, the Gita, the Dharma books, Tantra, and the Bhagavata Puranathese are the texts many Hindus would name as forming the core of their tradition. Here they are, at last, between two covers."Jack Hawley, Director, South Asian Institute, Columbia University
