This new offering in the comprehensive collection of Panikkar's work brings together in one volume the English-language versions of the most crucial texts of the Indian Sacred Scriptures. As part of his lifelong goal to bring "East and West together" in conversation about the sacred and the holy, Panikkar takes here selections from the oldest Hindu hymns, including from the Rig Veda, the Brahmanas, the Aranyakas, and finally from the Upanishads, the mystical and philosophical culmination of the Vedas.
