Michael Nguyen is on page 203 of 375 of Revolt Against the Modern World
The section on Hyperboreans seems pseudoscientific. He discusses spiritual race politics in chapter 25, which is kind of weird. I’m assuming he got his theories from german indologists.

Revolt Against the Modern World

Michael Nguyen is on page 19 of 256 of The Coming Revolution in Church Economics: Why Tithes and Offerings Are No Longer Enough, and What You Can Do about It
Its very interesting. I’m hoping to learn about Christian Church economics and apply it to my interest in Hinduism, Vedic Culture, Sanskrit Language, Vegetarianism, Puja, Communities.m, and International Congregations. And this brings in that most needed financial dimension to a spiritual endeavour.

Michael Nguyen is on page 41 of 314 of Impact of Sri Ramanujacarya on Temple Worship
Its great. A great reference book, and it analyses the Sri Vaishnava movement quite well. Analysis on the Sri tradition is propably my favourite area of study, and I think there needs to be more work on it.

Michael Nguyen is on page 148 of 420 of The Secrets of Voyaging: Kitab Al-Isfar 'an Nata'ij Al-Asfar
Its getting too obscure and linguistic. I’ll probably take a break from reading it now.

Michael Nguyen is 9% done with Carl Gustav Jung: A Biography
Really good. The reviews talk about how its negative, boring and biased. But I find this incredibly enlightening into the aspect of Jung’s life which he didn’t shed insight on through his own insights, and it offers an alternative perspective into his mind, morality, thought from an outsider perspective and an analytical one at that

Michael Nguyen is on page 251 of 296 of Bhagavad Gita: The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies Guide
really good read. much better than Prabhupad's As It Is. Although the latter is very devotional, this one is more wide ranging, references Shankara, Ramanuja, and Madhvacharya. Much more academic and scholarly interpretation of Vedanta, Samkhya, Yoga and & Bhakti.
