The issue of time and infinity or eternity has been studied across every civilization since antiquity, and nearly by all religions. This volume by Coomaraswamy covers the concepts of time and eternity from Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Christian, and modern-day spiritual movements. It covers passages collected from the Vedas, Upanishads and other Hindu sacred scriptures, Buddhist sangha literature, Sufi kalams, Biblical literatures, and the commentaries and treatises written by the Christian ascetics, monks, and theologians. Coomaraswamy, in his book, adopts a comparative approach in describing all these traditions. About the Author Ananda K.

He was also seen as the bridge-maker between western and Indian art and phil­osophy, as he was much inspired by Hindu and Greco-Roman trad­itions. His works were influenced by the Traditionalist and Perennial Schools of Philosophy. He authored several books which were based on the traditional arts, metaphysics, and social criticism.
