The Sacred Books of the East (Best Motivational Books for Personal Development (Design Your Life))

About the book
It has become quite a literary common place, that — to borrow the words of Professor Max Muller in one of his recent lectures — history, in the ordinary sense of the word, is almost unknown in Indian literature. And it is certainly a remarkable irony of fate, that we should be obliged to make this remark on the very threshold of an introduction to the Bhagavadgita ; for according to the eminent French philosopher, Cousin this great deficiency in Sanskrit litera- ture is due, in no inconsiderable measure, to the doctrines propounded in the Bhagavadgita itself.
