Brahma-Knowledge

Brahma-Knowledge

by L. D. Barnett


This book, part of the Wisdom of the East series, is a short exposition of the Vedanta philosophy. The 'Brahma' of the title is not the Hindu god Brahmā, but the abstract, primordial spirit of creation. Barnett draws from the Upanishads, the writings of Shankara, and other literature, and sees parallels with the Greek Eleatic philosophers, particularly Parmenides.
