Rammohan To Ramakrishna
by F.Max Muller

Max Muller's fascination for India is well-known. This book was intended to familiarise the western world with the vastness and depth of Indian philosophy. Metrical translations of ancient hymns, Vedanta philosophy, reformist religious movements, an in-depth study of the doctrines of Ramakrishna Paramahansa - strands of thought blend seamlessly in this work of erudition. Dedicated to his "Indian Friends", it is also rich in personal memories --- of Dwarkanath Tagore and Raja Radhakanta Deva among others.

About the Author:

Friedrich Max Muller was a great linguist and scholar born in Germany. He began his study of Sanskrit under Prof. Brockhaus and soon chose it as his special pursuit. The East India Company commisioned him to edit the Rigveda, which resulted in the publication of six giant volumes on the subject. His publications include a Sanskrit translation of Kalidasa's Meghaduta, History of Ancient Sanskrit Literature, and Introduction to the Science of Religion. Before his death in 1900 at Oxford, he was crowned with most honours and awards a scholar could aspire for.
