About the book:- This book, part of the wisdom of the east series, is a short exposition of the Vedanta Philosophy. The Brahma of the Title is not the Hindu God Brahma, but the abstract, primordial spirit of creation. Barnet draw from the Upnishads, the writing of Shankara and other literature and sees parallels with the Greek philosopher.
