Description
This book has grown out of three extension lectures delivered by Dr P T Raju, at Panjab University, Chandigarh in January, 1960. The lectures were originally entitled as Some Aspects of Vedanta but the title has now been changed by the author to Indian Idealism and Modern Challenges.
The subject is provocative and the lectures stimulated critical discussion on several issues.While it would be impossible to expect people to agree about the impact of the modern age on Indian Idealism, it would be useful to promote thinking on a problem like this.
