Hi,

1. Deepak Chopra is doctor who is well known for his motivational speaking.You can visit him at:

2.Indian Philosophy is more than 5000 + Years, and by now has drawn from all religons, sects and beliefs.It has experimented with everything from minamlism to indulgence,tantra, sufism onto dualism.Over the ages it has benifited from the thinking of some remarkable indviduals.

Visit the following links to get more info:

http://www.connect.net/ron/indianphilosophy.html" rel="nofollow">LINK

You can read A L Bhasam's 'The Wonder That India Was'-It is pretty comprehensive on Indian Philosphy.

Hope the above is of help.

For Swami Vivekananda you can check out the web for the Vedanta trust/ Ramakrishna Mission., The same can be said for Jiddu Krishnamurty.

Deepak Chopra = a quack ! He is something similar to that infomercial you see late nights.. "Tony Robbins speeches"..just for 300$

Mercury you have to differentiate between religious, political and social philosophy...
Gandhi = political
Vivekananda = Social/religious
Raja Ram Mohan Roy = Social
Jiddu Krishnamurty = Social
Buddha = Religious
Rabindranath Tagore = Social

Buddha as a "philosopher"? Hmmm... Jesus, Muhammed, Mahavir all philosophers? What about Koresh?

I guess wiser...you still have not attained Nirvana...

Check out the link posted by Northwind (the last one).. You will get an idea abt what I am talking abt. Buddha & Mahavir were the original proponents of Ahimsa (which in itself is a philosophy..). It was a a spiritual concept until Mohandas K Gandhi used it as a political concept !

Jesus. Mohammed ..not Indians

Strictly speaking Buddha is also not an Indian... Call him a Nepali but since he attained Nirvana in India... he is de-factor Indian
