From the Back Cover:

Vedanta is a distilation of everything that is clearest, wisest and most compelling in the Hindu religious tradition.

And because one of Hinduism's core beliefs is in the validity of all paths to God, Vedanta itself holds up a kind of mirror to every other religion as well, allowing us to see what is clearest, wisest, and most compelling there, too.

I hope this succinct and immensely readable overview will find a wide, wide audience. - Carlo Lee Flinders, author of At the Rood of this Longing and Enduring Grace

From the Inside Flap:

A refreshingly clear and engaging introduction to Vedanta. Highly recommended - Huston Smith, author of World's Religions
