Anon, I don't expect you to know this but I'll ask anyway, since discovering non-English resources on the internet can be quite difficult at times:
I also read classical languages; you may be aware of the Loeb Classical Library style where they alternate pages of Latin/Greek with a page of translation, which is tremendously useful. I recently found that there was a German equivalent of this called "Sammlung Tusculum" (which is fantastic) -- and why should there not be? Germany was/is absolutely huge in the Classics field, so it only makes sense for them not to play second fiddle to English.

I also read Sanskrit; there is, again, an English Loeb-like collection called Clay Sanskrit Library. Is there also a German version of this? Why should there not be? Germany more than practically invented Indology, pretty much all sources and a good more than half of scholarship in the field is German, so I feel like this might well exist. However, it is a massive pain to find things like this, the best you can do nowadays seems to be to google reddit threads for scraps of information, but any combination of "german sanskrit x" or "deutschsprachig sanskritisch x" or whatever just comes up with a bunch of nonsense. I do know of a book named "Indische Sprüchen" which has this format for a bunch of aphorisms, so it seems like it may exist.
Since you show some familiarity with German publishing, I'm asking you. Any leads would be appreciated.

>arguably the most important religious scholar in modern history
he isn't even on the shortlist of top religious scholarship, and he certainly doesn't stand up to the orientalist giant that is Max Müller. It was Müller, under the tutorship of the great indo-european linguist Franz Bopp (the same guy who conducted the first extensive study of Sanskrit language), that single handedly began Indian studies in the west when he translated tons of important eastern texts and interpreted them clearly and honestly for everyone to see (no mysticism needed).
