Excerpt from The UpanishadsThese are bold words, but even without going so far as St. Augustine, we may well hope that a study of the Sacred Books of the East may produce a kindlier feeling on the part of many people, and more particularly of missionaries, towards those who are called heathen, or even children of Satan, though they have long, though ignorantly, worshipped the God who is to be declared unto them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from India, What Can It Teach Us?: A Course of Lectures Delivered Before the University of Cambridge If some of the young Candidates for the Indian Civil Service who listened to my Lectures, quietly made up their minds that 's-uch a'reproach shall be wiped out, if a few of them at least determined to follow in the footsteps of Sir William Jones, and to show to the world that Englishmen who have been able to achieve by pluck, by perseverance, and by real political genius the material conquest of India, do not mean to leave the laurels of its intellectual conquest entirely to other countries, then I shall indeed rejoice, and feel that I have paid back, in however small a degree, the large debt of gratitude which I owe to my adopted country and to some of its greatest statesmen, who have given me the opportunity which I could find nowhere else of realising the dreams of my life, -the publication of the text and commentary of the Rig-veda, the most ancient book of Sanskrit, aye of Aryan litera ture, and now the edition of the translations of the Sacred Books of the East.'

India, What Can It Teach Us?: A Course of Lectures Delivered Before the University of Cambridge (Classic Reprint)

<p>Max M ller was one of the most popular, most respected, and most influential thinkers on spirituality of the 19th century, and in this 1905 work, published after his death, his wife collects his wisest, most insightful, most affecting thoughts on the art of living, what constitutes beauty, the joy of children, why death should not be feared, the connections between doubt and faith, the nature of love and the soul, and much more. Gathered not only from his published writings but from private letters and unfinished books, these are intimate reflections on life from a philosopher considered by many to be one of the most profound. German author FRIEDRICH MAX MULLER (1823-1900) combined the studies of language, culture, and religion to create the discipline of comparative mythology. Among his many works are The Sacred Books of the East, India: What Can It Teach Us?, and Wisdom of the Buddha: The Unabridged Dhammapada.</p>
