na hi gyānena sadṛiśhaṁ pavitramiha vidyate (Geeta 4.38)

“There is nothing as pure in this world as true knowledge.” In the Hindu tradition, we are fortunate to have a vast treasure-house of knowledge available in the Vedic scriptures.

Praise for Indian Scriptures by Western Scholars

The Vedic scriptures have been praised by all the Western scholars, who have read them. These philosophers and intellectuals had this to say about the Vedic texts:

“I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad Gita, the first amongst books. It was as if an empire spoke to me; nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, and consistent; the voice of an old intelligence, which in another age and climate, had pondered and disposed that same questions which exercise us.” Ralph Waldo Emerson, Philosopher (1803-1882).

“In the morning, I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita, in comparison to which our modern world and its literature seems puny and trivial.” Henry David Thoreau, American Philosopher and Naturalist (1817-1862).

“Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I have felt that a divine light illuminated me. In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of sectarianism. When I am at it, I feel that I am under the spangled heavens of a summer night.” Henry David Thoreau, American Writer, Philosopher, and Naturalist (1817 to 1862).

“When we read the philosophical monuments of the East, above all, those of India, we discover in them, many truths so highly elevated in contrast to which the European genius has stopped, that we are constrained to bend our knees before the philosophy of India.” Victor Cousin, French philosopher (1792-1867)

“When I read the Bhagavad Gita, and reflect about how God created this universe, everything else seems so superfluous. We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no scientific discovery would have been possible.” Albert Einstein, American Scientist (1879-1955).
