This anthology collects the most lyrical, passionate,
illuminating writings of the Hindu mystical tradition. Andrew Harvey,
the popular spiritual scholar and writer, has selected excerpts from
ancient and contemporary sources, including extracts from the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads,
and other classical Hindu texts; the words of such venerable spiritual
teachers as Ramakrishna and Ramana Maharshi; and the devotional poetry
of Mirabai, Ramprasad, and many others. The scope of this anthology
makes it a marvelous introduction to Hindu mystical literature, while
the power and beauty of the language will inspire those already familiar
with the genre.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Another title that digs deeply into one religious tradition is
Teachings of the Hindu Mystics, edited by Andrew Harvey. Harvey includes
mystical texts from the Vedas, the Upanishads and the devotional
classic the Bhagavad Gita, as well as writings of individuals such as
Mirabai and Aurobindo. Considering the importance and ubiquity of the
mystical element within Hinduism, Harvey has done a fine job assembling a
judicious collection.

From Library Journal
Harvey, a British novelist who more recently has become a writer
devoted to spiritual topics, has edited this new contribution to
Shambhala's long-running "Teachings" series, and this volume is one of
the most valuable for the general public yet released. Hindu practice
and spirituality remain frustratingly alien and elusive for many
Western minds, not least because of the continual overlays of new
teachings by recognized masters. Harvey's anthology is historical, and
by beginning with the Rig Veda and concluding with the writings of
Aurobindo (d. 1950), he goes far toward establishing the essence of
Hinduism itself and the ebbs and flows in its teaching over hundreds of
years. Harvey's introduction is both learned and prophetic in its
stance. Highly recommended.

The Eternal Way,
By
This review is from: Teachings of the Hindu Mystics (Paperback)
What we call Hindu, the Hindu's call 'The Enternal Way'. For Hindu was a
geographical location, not a religion. Over time those outside their
religion began to associate the term with a religion.Andrew Harvey is the editor of this book and compiles an anthology of Hindu poems, meditations, and philosophical texts emphasizing Tantric tradition and the yoga of devotion. Included are writings of Mirabai (circa 1498-1546), Ramprasad (1718-1775), and Aurobindo (1872-1950) and excerpts from their sacred scriptures. This book is a good introduction to start your studies on the teachings of the Hindu Mystics.
