Coomaraswamy (1877–1947) was a pioneering Indian art historian and metaphysician. He is widely known for his scholarship in Indian art, symbolism, and traditional metaphysics, especially for bringing Eastern philosophical ideas to the West. His writing bridges the disciplines of aesthetics, spirituality, and cultural studies. Sister Nivedita (Margaret Elizabeth Noble, 1867–1911) was an Irish educator, author, and disciple of Swami Vivekananda. She played a significant role in India’s spiritual and nationalist renaissance in the early 20th century. A prolific writer, she devoted her life to Indian culture and its preservation through education and storytelling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46288060481789,"sku":"","price":720.0,"currency_code":"NPR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/4145\/8840\/files\/51hjlzLqmDL.jpg?v=1747491142","url":"https:\/\/biblionepal.com\/es\/products\/myths-of-the-hindus-and-buddhists","provider":"BIBLIONEPAL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
