Recommendation
Īśopaniṣad by Nithin Sridhar :
Īśopaniṣad is one of the short Upanishads with only 18 mantras but which captures the entire gamut of Hindu philosophy and worldview. This commentary, which is divided into two parts, aims to not only provide a word-by-word explanation on each of the verses but also provide an exposition of the vision of the Upanishad going beyond its text.
Hindu View of Christianity and Islam
Sri Ram Swarup attempts to discuss Christianity and Islam from the viewpoint of Hindu spirituality. Hitherto, scholars have looked at Hinduism through the eyes of Christianity and Islam but not the other way around. The two prophetic religions have a long history of conflict but they also share a common spiritual perspective. He looks at all basic concepts and practices of prophetic religions from the viewpoint of Yoga and finds that they have little spiritual merit. He also discusses yogic and non-yogic samadhis, and how the two project their own respective revelations, gods and ethical codes.
