Review
Dr. Judith Tyberg is to be congratulated on this work. It can be freely predicted that her treatise will prove a revelation and a fresh stimulus to a subject which fascinated minds like Sri Aurobindo and Ananda Coomaraswamy. It is a completely new approach. What Dr. Tyberg has woven for us is a magnificent fabric of primary source materials of the highest authority. -- A. Ranganatham, "Indian Libertarian", Nov., 1972
I have not come across any single publication which narrows down the range of study to the requirements of the spiritual seeker and attains such rich comprehensiveness in fulfilling these requirements. The book presents the power of Sanskrit spiritual vocabulary the mystical and Philosophical terms and their entitled meanings which help us map out precisely the realms of the Superconscient in man. -- Prof. V.K. Gokak, Padmashri, Retired Vice-Chancellor, Bangalore Univeristy
It is an excellent publication dealing with the spiritual vocabulary of the main Sanskrit texts. The fascinating treatment of the subject, the novel approach and sincerity of scholarship make the publication unique. Dr. Tyberg has laid all lovers of Sanskrit under a deep debt of gratitude. -- Shankara Narayana, "The Indian Review", Madras, August, 1972.
One must admire the boldness and originality with which Dr. Tyberg has performed her difficult task; she has justified the name Jyotipriya (Lover of Light) given her by Sri Aurobindo. -- Sanat K. Banerji, "Mother India", 1972.
She combines with her creative genius the teachings of Sanskrit and Hinduism in an unique manner.Her presentation of Sanskrit and the great truths that its writings contain is brilliant. It is a direct method of teaching truths through a language, and deserves to be followed by both eastern and Western teachers of the subject. -- Late Dr. B.L. Atreya, Padmabhusan, Benares Hindu University
