A vast wealth of wisdom and culture comes from India: The
Vedas, The Mahabhara, Kalidasa, Buddha, Upanishads, and
so on. The historical connection between India and the
Western World is vastly under-rated, yet obvious:
Herodotus wrote commentaries on India's culture,
Alexander knew there was something in India worth
fighting for. There are hints of India's past in the
story of Jesus, the works of Parminides, the philosophy
of Heidegger (but then again, who didn't Heidegger
plagiarize?).
Right now we have the complete texts of Kalidasa's
Shakuntala and
The Cloud Messenger.
We will always be adding to
our own book collection, but one excellent online
resource for books is at Project Gutenberg.
Enjoy!
