you should have asked what books to buy first
in any case, start with the crisis of the modern world

>> No.19958718

>>19957822
You should have bought "Intro to Hindu Doctrines" DESU

Out of what's pictured, it's best to start with "Crisis of the Modern World"

Make sure to read "Man and His Becoming According to the Vedanta" before "Symbolism of the Cross"

Start with anything that sounds relevant to you. Doesn't even have to be a the first page of any particular book. Find a chapter that relates to something you've been thinking on.

Many anons will dab on you for not picking up Introduction to the Study of the Hindu Doctrines, but The Underlying Religion is a good general introduction to Traditionalism and the concept of Sophia Perennis. Then, follow up with Crisis of the Modern World.

But I find it very interesting that guenonfag's plan worked. Now Guenon is one of the most talked about authors on /lit/, and it would never have happened if it weren't for guenonfag's campaign.

Just read it all and buy more Guenon. You can actually fill in the dots over time. (Crisis is a good start, East and West could be good because it is referenced though.)
