Teachings of the Hindu Mystics
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.

Great book with excerpts from all the great Hindu books including the Vedas, the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita. Also includes quotes from the various saints from Tukaram to Kabir and from Ramakrishna Paramhansa, Vivekananda,Tagore and Aurobindo.
Not the kind of book you read cover to cover. This is the kind of book you would like to read over and over again and read selected portions. Recommend to anyone who is looking for some spiritual inspiration.

Some good verses or paragraphs here and there but otherwise quite dry in parts. I wonder if commentaries by the editor would help a bit. Still a good exposure to some of the important texts and writers on Hinduism.

Mostly very good, but like most people, probably, there are some readings that don't appeal to me.
