Daily Inspiration

"According to me, the influence of Sanskrit literature on our time will not be lesser than what was, in the 16th century, Greece's influence on Renaissance. One day, India's wisdom will flow again on Europe and will totally transform our knowledge and thought." Arthur Schopenhauer "The World as a Will and Representation" (1788-1860). He was the first Western philosopher to have access to and be profoundly affected by translations of philosophical material from India, both Vedic and Buddhist.
