Kshetra Books

Kshetra Books publishes modern paperback editions of works on Theosophy, Vedanta, Neoplatonism, philosophy, and numerous related subjects. It works in partnership with Universal Theosophy and Theosophy Nexus. Printed editions and e-books are available at this website. The publisher is guided by this philosophy:

Kshetra Books is a publisher specializing in ancient and modern philosophy, theosophy and spirituality. Our aim is to make the world’s rich heritage of Wisdom more easily available and affordable for anyone interested in exploring this grand inheritance. While many religions, sciences and philosophies differ in their approach to the nature of our shared reality, we firmly believe that any and all sincere seekers of Truth inevitably follow a path towards the same goal. Because of this, many of the world’s finest philosophers, sages and scientists, from all cultures and ages, have presented stunning similarities in their teachings and writings. The deeper and wider the modern seeker is able to apply their studies, the more they will begin to notice these similarities. The more they notice, the more they will begin to perceive a shared foundation to what initially may have appeared as separate, even irreconcilable, religious, philosophical and scientific systems.
