Reviews

[Murali]

Superb book
Very much like the anelects of Confucius or meditations of Marcus aurelius.
First published in 1751, reportedly a translation of an ancient sanskrit document found in potala palace Tibet.
The language is quite dated. Unfortunately the book is difficult to find.
I found this book at samata books in chennai, who is the publisher.

This book deserves to be a classic
