Synopsis:
Prof. Dean Brown points out that most European languages can be traced
back to a root language that is also related to Sanskrit - the sacred
language of the ancient Vedic Hindu religions of India. Many English
words actually have Sanskrit origins. Similarly, many Vedic religious
concepts can also be found in Western culture. He discusses the
fundamental idea of the Upanishads - that the essence of each
individual, the atman, is identical to the whole universe, the principle
of brahman. In this sense, the polytheistic traditions of India can be
said to be monistic at their very core.
