Reviews

"Considering the importance and ubiquity of the mystical element within Hinduism, Harvey has done a fine job assembling a judicious collection."- Publishers Weekly "The scope of this anthology makes it a marvelous introduction to Hindu mystical traditions, while the power and the beauty of the language will inspire those already familiar with Hinduism and its literature."- Earth Star "Both learned and prophetic in its stance."- Library Journal
