Mylapore, Madras, India: The President, Sri Ramakrishna Math, 1937.

Otherwise, without flaw. See scans. The deeply scholarly Swami Prabhavananda, a major figure in Vedanta and other Indian religions and religious philosophy, also did much to develop Vedanta in the United States. He was often assisted in his publications by Christopher Isherwood and Frederick Manchester, as well as P.H. Houston, who assisted here. Among his followers were Aldous Huxley and Gerald Heard. Vedic Religion and Philosophy is an early and tightly on-point exposition by the Swami of the title inquiry. It has been often re-printed, but as this true 1937 first edition, is quite scarce. L20n
