The Eternal Way

What we call Hindu, the Hindu's call 'The Enternal Way'. For Hindu was a geographical location, not a religion. Over time those outside their religion began to associate the term with a religion. Andrew Harvey is the editor of this book and compiles an anthology of Hindu poems, meditations, and philosophical texts emphasizing Tantric tradition and the yoga of devotion. Included are writings of Mirabai (circa 1498-1546), Ramprasad (1718-1775), and Aurobindo (1872-1950) and excerpts from their sacred scriptures. This book is a good introduction to start your studies on the teachings of the Hindu Mystics.
