All time favorite books on Indian Spirituality.
Autobiography of a Yogi is at once a beautifully written account of an exceptional life and a profound introduction to the ancient science of Yoga and its time-honored tradition of meditation.
Written by Osho. Its is a small book. Some very deep insights about Buddha.
This is another intense but thorough book about... Raja Yoga - a method of "liberation" through self effort.
The teachings of Bhagvan Sri Ramana Maharishi
Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of an Indian man named Siddhartha during the time of the Buddha.
"A balanced and thorough introduction to basic issues and important figures in Hindu and Buddhist thought.... The book is impressively comprehensive despite its brevity." -- Religious Studies Review
Though Tolle draws from a wide range of spiritual traditions, IMO this book includes sufficient references from Hindu and Buddhist philosophies to be included in this list.
Don't let the title fool you. By far the best general book on Indian spirituality I have ever read. Really conveys what it means to be Indian/Hindu from a spiritual and religious point of view.
Comprehensive coverage of the many many facets of hinduism, and related belief systems, and they get the fundamentals right. Learned a lot from this that I didn't know about a culture I grew up in.
The Synthesis of Yoga by Sri Aurobindo. His principal work on yoga. Free Book Download: Pdf, ePub, Amazon Kindle.
Easy, clear, and accurate translation.
Very interesting take on Indian philosophy. An Indian take on the Dao almost.
