DESCRIPTION
After the Torah, the Koran and the Gospels, the Indian literature of The Perfection of Wisdom ' has had the greatest impact on the Religious consciousness of mankind. Its composition extended for over seven hundred years, and here we offer the reader the first two works which were composed in South India between 100 B.C. and A.D. 100. These documents are not only indispensable to those who wish to understand the mentality of the East, they still carry a potent Spiritual message; and those who desire to diminish their personal worries by the disciplined contemplation of spiritual; thought could make no better choice.
