1918. The purpose of the lectures was to set forth the striking similarity between the writings of Emerson and the sacred teachings of the East. Deep students of Vedic ideals have long regarded Emerson as an inspired interpreter of these ideals to the West. It has always been one of the chief aims of the present author to show the fundamental harmony underlying all phases of higher thought." Contents: Emerson and Vedanta; Karma and Compensation; Atman and Over-soul; Emerson and Hindu Classics.

Emerson and the East,
By Richard Geldard "rgbooks.com" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Emerson and Vedanta (Paperback)
This thin volume gives the essentials of Emerson's devotion to the Eastern wisdom tradition, in particular Advaita Vedanta, the Eastern philosphy of unity. Paramananda offers very little actual commentary of the similarities between Emerson and Vedanta, but he does offer comparable passages from both sources, allowing the careful reader to see the subtle as well as obvious connections. This book, or rather booklet, is an excellent and necessary beginning for anyone beginning a study of Emerson and his eastern influences.

IF what philosophers say of the kinship between God and man be true, what has any one to do but, like Socrates, when he is asked what countryman he is, never to say that he is a citizen of Athens or Corinth, but of the world? Read the first page New!
