Description: Many in the West are discovering the value and practicality of the teachings of the East. This clear introduction to Vedanta, one of the six main systems of thought in Hinduism, shows how these venerable teachings can deepen and enrich our knowledge and understanding of life and bring us inner peace.
 
Hourihan, an American and award-winning author, presents these ancient teachings in a way that Westerners can relate to easily. This study includes an overview of the mysticism of India, the main principles of Vedanta, and a summary of the “Bhagavad Gita” and the Yoga system of thought. The last section demonstrates the universality of these teachings through confirmations from the masters of other traditions—Lao Tzu, Meister Eckhart, Plotinus, and the Sufis of Islam. 

In this introduction, you can find out how these timeless teachings can lead to a life of peace and fulfillment.
