The book was first published in 1883 and it explores the cultural, philosophical, and religious traditions of India, as well as their relevance to Western society.Muller argues that India has much to teach the West, particularly in the areas of spirituality, morality, and social organization. He examines the Hindu and Buddhist scriptures, including the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Dhammapada, and shows how they offer insights into the nature of the self, the purpose of life, and the relationship between individuals and society.The book also discusses the impact of Indian thought on Western thinkers such as Schopenhauer, Emerson, and Thoreau, and how it has influenced the development of Western philosophy and spirituality.
