The Pythagorean Sangha Series seeks to stress the application of theory to practice in individual life. Drawing upon the vital quintessence of the Upanishadic-Platonic tradition, the Sangha publishes time-honoured texts of universal appeal for the sake of lifelong learning in daily life. Intense exploration of metaphysical and ethical concepts forms the basis for self-enquiry and deliberation in thought and speech. Contemplation and honest self-examination are fused to summon the untapped potentials of humanity while cultivating a sense of the sacred in respect to sound, speech and silence.

Reviews of The Moral and Political Thought of Mahatma Gandhi:

"A book that is of first-class importance."
ARNOLD TOYNBEE

"The virtue of this study is that it takes Gandhi's thought with ultimate seriousness, and exposes it to a sophisticated level of theoretical analysis that it has not received before . . . an indispensable contribution."
Political Science Quarterly

"Iyer constructs from the hundreds of articles and addresses of Gandhi a consistent, significant political-moral philosophy which if not the equal of those of Plato and Aristotle, is at least a major contribution to the classical tradition. Iyer is an excellent, persuasive writer."
Reviews of Religions

THE BHAGAVAD GITA
with The Uttara Gita
The Bhagavad Gita, translated with an instructive and compelling introduction by Raghavan Iyer, is a luminous rendition of this timeless spiritual classic, universally appreciated for its profound truth and unfailing relevance. The dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, between God and Man, is elegantly rendered into eloquent English, together with the original Sanskrit text in transliteration. Each verse of the eighteen discourses is accompanied by an apposite and incisive commentary drawn from the world's spiritual and philosophical inheritance.
