Sreena's Reviews > India: What Can It Teach Us

This is a significant work, instrumental in establishing Indology as an academic field in the West. The section detailing the Vedas was the most engaging one for me, though I felt the text does not fully capture the profound philosophical weight of these scriptures. Could be because these were a collection of lectures, the transitions between the chapters felt a bit abrupt.

Finally, I would like to rap it up with a quote from the Upanishads which is also mentioned in the book.

“When all desires that dwell in the heart cease, then the mortal becomes immortal, and obtains Brahman.
"When all the fetters of the heart here on earth are broken, when all that binds us to this life is undone, then the mortal becomes immortal—here my teaching ends.”
