“The book is indeed a valuable and scholarly philosophical contribution to the Western and Indian theories of consciousness. … The book is an extension of the Indian philosophy of mind in general and consciousness studies in particular. The book will be of enormous aid to scholars who are not yet familiar with the original and novel ideas of Vedānta and Sri Aurobindo on metaphysics of consciousness.” (Rajakishore Nath, Journal of Dharma Studies, Vol. 4, 2021)
