Radhakrishnan, Vinoba Bhave, C. Rajagopalachari and A.K. Coomaraswamy. The author argues that there are two distinct visions of how Hindu spirituality is linked to modern liberal politics. The first and more popular vision draws from Vedanta ideals and moves toward a tight fit between spirituality and politics. The second and alternative vision, present in the writings of these four thinkers, is what this book analyzes in detail.> UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=784867 ER -
