The Wishing Tree
The elegant beauty of Isherwood's simple and direct prose is an ideal vehicle for transmitting the lofty ideals of Vedanta to the Western mind.... The Wishing Tree is an excellent introduction to Ramakrishna-Vedanta, particularly for the Western reader. --Vedanta KesariWe now have in the present book a stimulating and sumptuous collection of most of the articles Isherwood wrote for the magazine of the Hollywood centre Vedanta and the West between 1943-1975.... it is an invaluable addition to the literature of Perennial Philosophy --Prabuddha BharataThis book is written for the intelligent person who wants to be honest with himself and demands that religion be rational and sensible.... A fascinating collection of articles ... personal, reflective, moving essays that gently nudge the reader towards an understanding of Eastern thought. As lean and elegant as Isherwood s better known works, these pieces bristle with provocation. --Kirkus Reviews
