Subhash Kak has provided a brilliant original Sutra text in the intuitive
model of India's traditional yogic scholarship. He makes this ancient
spiritual art of learning relevant to the contemporary man,
showing us how to look beyond the boundaries of materialistic world
to an inner view of both humanity and the universe in which there
is a real understanding of the purpose of our lives.
--- David Frawley, author of The Rig Veda and the History of India and Wisdom
of the Ancient Seers and other books.
The book strikes me as an excellent overview of Vedic conceptions,
presenting them in a
straightforward and transparent way that provides
suggestive and clear insights for a
modern reader. The science and the scholarship is well-founded and
accurate, and
the reasoning is simply presented without pretentious claims or
obfuscating jargon.
Given the depth and the delicacy of the subject, that's an uncommon and
much-needed achievement.
The use of Sanskrit terms is economical and illuminating,
in a way that helps a
modern reader to place them in the context of
modern science and education.
