1. Painting a very broad brush, as in half of Eurasian philosophy, check out Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad's 'Eastern Philosophy' [1]. 2. More technical, but a valuable introduction to analytic methods in classical Indian thought: Jonardon Ganeri's 'Philosophy in Classical India: An Introduction and Analysis' [2] These are, of course, scholars writing in a scholarly vein. Two books about Guru figures with deep spiritual experience are: 3. Sri Ramakrishna Kathamrita, translated into English as 'The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna'[3] 4. Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi [4] Finally, to take a comparative route: 5. Roberto Calasso's 'Ka' which is his take on the Vedic-Puranic-Itihasic Corpus as a whole [5]. and to understand how India meets Greece via Persepolis and Egypt: 6. Thomas McEvilley's 'Shape of Ancient Thought' [6] [1] https://www.amazon.com/Eastern-Philosophy-Dr-Chakravarthi-Ram-Prasad/dp/0297847449 https://www.amazon.com/Eastern-Philosophy-Dr-Chakravarthi-Ra...
