As Western Sanskrit scholars who have spent their lives immersed in meditative practice, Katz and Egenes offer a unique perspective in penetrating the depths of Eastern wisdom and expressing these insights in modern yet poetic language.
Â
Their historical introduction is suited to newcomers and experienced readers alike, providing the perfect entry to this unparalleled work.
