A Comprehensive Anthology of Fundamental Writings. The Bhagavad Gita, The Upanishads, The Yoga Sutras, The Sermons of Buddha, The Zoroastrian Gathas, The Sikh Scriptures, The Koran, The Pearls of Faith, The Hymns of Hafiz. This is just a small sampling of the selections this volume contains. The writings date from the Vedic Hymns of about 2000 B.C. to the inspired arabic poetry written in this century. They include explorations of extreme ascetic renunciation as well as the richly sensuous celebration of union. They range from elaborate legends to subtle symbolism to plainspoken aphorisms and anecdotes. In superb translations, accompanied by incisive historical and philosophical commentary, these selections of prose and poetry provide the western reader with a thorough survey of fundamental source materials for some of humankind's most influential spiritual and philosophical beliefs.
