Description

About The Book: In this book, the author delves into Hindu Mysticism, addressing misconceptions prevalent in both India and America. While mysticism is often associated with supernatural phenomena, true Hindu mysticism aims at spiritual liberation and ultimate bliss, achieved through inner control and emotional development. Contrasting with European mysticism focused on communion with God, Hindu mysticism transcends reason, shaping one's life profoundly. The Rig Veda and Atharva Veda form the foundation of Hindu religious texts, emphasizing ritual accuracy and divine commands. From sacrificial mysticism to the concept of Brahman, Hindu thought progresses towards understanding the ultimate reality. The Upanishads, central to Vedanta, delve into the nature of Brahman, marking a transition from deity worship to the pursuit of enlightenment. The book provides a brief outline of Hindu mysticism.
