the arrival of the Buddha. In this work-originally published in German in 1906 and translated into English two years later-Deussen explores the place of the Upanishads in the literature of the Veda and explains the theology, cosmology, and psychology of that holy book.

Today, it is still essential reading for anyone wishing to obtain a deeper knowledge of Indian spiritual wisdom.
