About The Book: In this book, the author explores the evolution of Indian philosophy from Vedic rituals to Upanishadic introspection, aiming for spiritual truths beyond ordinary existence. The concept of Karma replaces the efficacy of rituals, reflecting the consequences of actions. Early hymns contemplate the origins of the universe, shifting from external deities to inner reflection. Upanishadic texts delve into Brahman, the ultimate reality transcending language and cognition. The Brhadaranyaka underscores the significance of the self, leading to a blissful realization. While emphasizing inner supremacy, the Upanishads imply a control over natural forces and present Brahman as pure consciousness, the foundation of reality. This thought, resisting classification, influences various schools including Buddhism. Buddhist idealism rejects external reality, prioritizing subjective experience and challenging orthodox perspectives. Santarakshita's philosophy diverges from Vasubandhu's, rejecting the notion of eternal consciousness. Ultimately, Indian philosophy delves into the essence of reality, consciousness, and liberation.
