The Vedas
Translated: T. B. Griffith
Foreward: Paul Tice
This book is a detailed overview of The Vedas, the holy book of the Hindus. The most important Hymns are quoted in full; extracts are also included from the Brahmanas, the part of the Rig Veda that that guides the Brahmans, the highest class of priests, in Vedic ceremonies. This is one of the oldest and most important of the world’s holy books. It is primarily composed of hymns, poems, incantations and rituals from ancient India. Not only is this the “bible” of the Hindu religion, it also offers a unique snapshot of normal, everyday life in India as it occurred over four thousand years ago.

Buddhist Suttas
Subtitle: Major Scriptural Writings from Early Buddhism
Author: T.W. Rhys Davids
Edited: Max Muller
These seven scriptural writings are considered to be the most important and oldest of the Buddhist religion. Originally written in the Pali language, they date to the fourth and third centuries BC. This early date is what makes them so important – they form the very core of Buddhist teachings, sought after and studied by monks and scholars for centuries. There could never be a complete understanding of the true meaning of Buddhism without them (previously published elsewhere at $250, here is the first affordable version).

The Life of Buddha
Subtitle: Originally Written in the First Century, A.D.
Author: Asvaghosha
This may be the oldest known story of the complete life of Buddha, having been written in the first century AD. The author was an educated ecclesiastic Buddhist who traveled throughout India collecting stories and traditions relating to the Buddha’s life. He was a famous preacher and musician who then wove them into a Sanskrit poem which he performed musically during his travels. It holds many facts that other stories of the Buddha don’t have, which makes this work so important. The entire epic is preserved in this rare book, long out of print, which may have otherwise been lost to the western world if not reprinted.

The Bhagavad Gita
Translated by Sir Edwin Arnold.
One of the most well-known and important holy books of the world. In all of Indian literature none is more quoted than this work, which is considered to be the main religious text of Hinduism. The wisdom it conveys provides guidelines for daily living that have been followed for centuries, including India’s greatest spiritual leader, Mahatmas Gandhi. Of this book he said, “I have read almost all the English translations of it, and I regard Sir Edwin Arnold’s as the best.” ISBN 158509224X • 124 pages • Size: 6×9 • Price: $12.95
