This compilation is simply
outstanding ! I never knew that
such a compilation exists and
we all should be thankful to the
author! These great quotes
should be embossed on plaques
and displayed on the walls of
our Parliament, State Assembly
Halls, and at all our educational
institutions. Most importantly, the
material should be made a
compulsory reading for all the
school students (elaborating
more on who is who and the
monumental contributions of
these intellectual giants
Prof. A. V. Murali, Ph. D, Former

Hi Salil Gewali, I suddenly come

upon your compilation and I
thoroughly read it from the start
to finish! No one can deny the
vast expanse of eternal wisdom
from beautiful Mother India. I can
personally attest to my own
self-perceived growth in
immeasurable degrees, thanks to
the Spiritual and Philosophical
Sages and Geniuses India has
gifted us with. Thank you so much
for the enlightenment.
Timothy Hart, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, USA

Great minds on India 123

Comments on the book

Salil Gewali has lovingly
compiled an excellent set of
quotations that illustrate how
highly great thinkers from all
over the world valued Indian
spiritual culture and how it
transformed their lives. An
inspirational read that reminds
us of our amazing ancient
heritage and why we need to
incorporate it into our lives as
modern Indians.
- Prof Chitra Divakaruni,

US based renowned writer, Houston.

Prof Divakaruni is US based renowned writer, her famous novel, The Mistress of Spices was
released as a film directed by Paul Mayeda Berges starring Aishwarya Rai and Dylan McDermott.

Comments on the book

A study of Indias ancient literature leads inevitably
to the core basis of all modern religion and
modern science. It is always the Vedas, as I find,
which provide the clearest answers to the
complexities of Soul saving wisdom. For one who
cannot understand them, there are Upanishads.
For one who does not see answers in the
Upanishads, there are the Gita and the Ramayana
and Puranas
An eye-opener booklet Great minds on India, Salil
Gewali clearly illustrates the impact of the ancient
literature in modern time. Here we see India
through the eyes of some of the worlds greatest
thinkers and poets and are left with a hunger to
know more. Much more!
-- John

Palmer, Eastern Ave, Las Vegas, Nevada 89123,

Comments on the book

I must congratulate Salil Gewali for

bringing out such a wonderful booklet
containing the quotes of the world
renowned intellectuals on Vedas,
Upanishads and the Gita which are in
appreciation about the supremacy of the
Indian wisdom. The youth of today should
be wholly aware these great quotes so
that they will have better appreciation of
our Indian culture, tradition and heritage
-- Dr.

D. Swaminadhan, a prominent scientist, UNESCO International

Consultant, Vice Chancellor of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological

University, Hyderabad

Comments on the book

Great minds on India is a great book.
More than an East/West philosophical
encounter, this book reveals how the
Upanishads and other Indian classics
transformed the thinking of
many western thinkers.
The booklet brings to light the ancient
wisdom of the East, and reminds us in the
West that spiritual knowledge, not the
pursuit of pleasure, is the true source of
happiness.
-- Robert

Maldonado, Neuropsychologist, New York

Comments on the book

It seems to me that one of the distinctions
that can be usefully made between the
East (beginning with India) and West
(epitomized in the USA) is that the West
has excelled at investigating and
manipulating the Exterior world, while the
East has specialized in understanding and
transforming the Interior world. This book is
a superb eye-opener.

TS Eliot
Celebrated Americanborn British poet, philosopher,
and critic of the twentieth century;
received the Nobel Prize in literature
in 1948. His The Waste Land is
considered to be one of the most
important poems of the twentieth
century.

Indian philosophers
subtleties make most
of the great
European
philosophers look
like schoolboys.
