Ebook: Hindu Psychology: Its Meaning for the West

This first book of its kind to be published for the English-speaking people unfolds for the thoughtful lay reader the understanding of the human mind and spirit, achieved by Hindu psychology, which in the West has so far been largely confined to scholars in the field. It not only makes, from the perspective of the Oriental world, a penetrating study of the Western mind; it offers a new conception of the total mind, of the conflict between the conscious and the unconscious, of the significance of meditation, intuition, extrasensory experience, for which the psychological studies of Western civilization have not supplied a complete solution, and which have long been scientifically understood in the Fast.

One of the two American scholars who write prefatory endorsements of the book, Professor Allport, states its importance: “I am convinced American psychology would improve in richness and wisdom if it accommodated in some way the wise things the author says about meditation and the necessity for an adequate philosophy of life.”
