Studies in Hinduism 2nd edition
Rene Guenon
Translated here for the first time in its entirety, Guénon's Studies in Hinduism, together with his Man and His Becoming according to the Vedanta and Introduction to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines, provides what leading Indian thinkers have called the most authentic expression of Hindu metaphysics in any Western language. Chapters include: Atma-Gita; The Spirit of India; Kundalini Yoga; The Hindu Theory of the Five Elements; Dharma; Varna; Tantrism and Magic; The Fifth Veda; Nama-Rupa; Maya; and Sanatana Dharma. Guénon's crucial lecture 'Eastern Metaphysics' has also been added-the closest thing to a 'thumbnail sketch' of metaphysics he ever produced-as well as special indexes of Buddhist and Sanskrit terms. Also known as the Primordial Tradition, the sanatana dharma, which constitues the central theme of this text, is the guarantee of both the universality and the indestructibility of essential metaphysical truth.
