This book argues for the importance of vernacular Vedanta and draws attention to the late scholastic period of Indian philosophy. Focusing on The Ocean of Inquiry of Niscaldas (ca. 1791 - 1863)-a work once referred to as the most influential book in India-the present book highlights the author's vision of intellectual inquiry as a spiritual practice and argues for the relevance of scholastic traditions to the emergence of modern Hinduism.
