Hindu Mysticism

S. N. Dasgupta’s book explores the philosophical and devotional dimensions of mystical experience in Hindu traditions, drawing on Vedanta, the Upanishads, and later devotional currents. It is historically valuable as an interpretive bridge between Indian philosophy and comparative religion, and it presents readers with reflections on self-knowledge, liberation, and spiritual realization.

Surendranath Dasgupta (1887–1952) was an Indian philosopher and scholar of religion, best known for his multi-volume history of Indian philosophy. His work made major contributions to the study of Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Tantric traditions in a philosophical and comparative framework.
