<p><span><span class="bxgy-binding-byline"><span class="bxgy-byline-text">it is now in my original post (above).</span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span class="bxgy-binding-byline"><span class="bxgy-byline-text">Also included is the books back cover which discusses the content. (Note the term Theosophical-Philosophical literature).</span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span class="bxgy-binding-byline"><span class="bxgy-byline-text">It is important (to some) that the book I originally mentioned mostly contains translations and excerpts from the various key source literature. It also has explanations of some key concepts and what/how/where the vast literature fits into place.</span></span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><span class="bxgy-binding-byline"><span class="bxgy-byline-text">The 2-volume set is clearly better for detailed study of the actual philosophies.</span></span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><span class="bxgy-binding-byline"><span class="bxgy-byline-text">just a clarification.</span></span></span></p>

<p>p.s. The belief in the "Aryan Invasion" is rather optional. I take the same side as Sri Aurobindo -- it is totally wrong.</p>
<p>Actually - the Aryan "peoples" (N. Europe) seem to have more Neanderthal mixed in the gene-pool that any other group/continent. This is currently still being investigated since genetics is still expanding its experimental techniques.</p>
<p>If one looks at the Aryan supremacists in the USA, it is easy to believe. <g></p>

<p>Yes John I have heard about this book ,Though I have not had the opportunity to read it , I have read his Mahabharata in English when I was much younger, and some other smaller works of his . He was amongst many other things a wonderful President for the country being a philosopher too . It was a rare combination .</p>
