Review(s)

The present book, perhaps the most relevant to the present-day world, gives an overview of the fundamentals of the Soul-knowledge…It examines with insight the lines on which this Source (River) of Truth has flooded every branch of India’s life-religion, science, art, medicine, yoga, psychology, social structure. Every page of this well-planned book is informative and stimulating. This is one of the best surveys of the Indian Civilisation deriving its roots from the eternal Dharma perceived and lived by the Aryan race on this sacred land, that is Bharata.-M.P.Pandit, The Astrological Magazine, October, 1991

From the River of Heaven focuses on the many different facets of India’s Vedic tradition from a refreshing perspective-that is at once intellectually appealing and emotionally fulfilling. For Indians living abroad this book offers the most concise and yet broad-based interpretation of as diverse topics as the universal meaning of Hinduism, the gods and goddesses, yogic cosmology, Sanskrit and Mantra, the Vedic view of society, the science of karma and rebirth, the inner meaning of rituals, Ayurveda and astrology.-Francis Assisi, India West, October, 1991

The work under review is very relevant to the present-day world and gives a brief account of the fundamentals of soul-knowledge that has influenced the lifestyle of ancient Indian Society. This book is a compendium of Ancient Indian Knowledge for the benefit of modern man.-Orient Institute-Usha Brahmachari, Vol.XLIII, September-December, 1993
