An Introduction to Indian Philosophy
The object of this book is to provide a simple introduction to the Indian systems of philosophy. Each one of these systems has had a vast and varied development.

Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality
This pioneering study examines the philosophy of the nineteenth-century Indian mystic Sri Ramakrishna, bringing him into dialogue with Western thinkers. Sri Ramakrishna's expansive conception of God as the impersonal-personal Infinite Reality, Maharaj argues, introduces a new paradigm for addressing central issues in the philosophy of religion.
