 Max Müller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muller attempted to reach a philosophy of religion that addressed the crisis of faith that was engendered by the historical and critical study of religion by German scholars on the one hand, and by the Darwinian revolution on the other (compare Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach").
Friedrich Max Müller (December 6, 1823 – October 28, 1900), more commonly known as Max Müller, was a German-born British Philologist and Orientalist, one of the founders of Indian studies, who virtually created the discipline of comparative religion.
Müller shared many of the ideas associated with Romanticism, which coloured his account of ancient religions, in particular his emphasis on the formative influence on early religion of emotional communion with natural forces.

 Max Muller
Though a religious man, Muller was one of only a few scholars who disagreed with Darwin's theory of the "descent" of man from apes on purely schol­arly, not religious, grounds.
If no translation was provided, and the quotes were important to the flow of Muller's argument, then Stone let them stand both in the text or in the footnote.
It is not surprising, therefore, to learn that his Oxford home became a place of pilgrimage for Indian gurus and pandits who traveled westward to see this enlightened sage, a man whom many Hindus called mahatman, great soul.

 INDEX FOR UPANISHADS TRANSLATED BY MAX MULLER
In the mid-19th century, German scholar Friedrich Max Muller, who has been called the father of comparative religion, became the most prominent advocate of historical and linguistic analysis in the study of religion.
Although his approach emphasized the view that all traditions were the product of historical development, Muller believed comparative study would demonstrate that every religion possessed some measure of truth.
Beginning in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the scriptures of many non-Western traditions had been translated and published, offering a view of faiths that previously had been inaccessible.

 The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum - Literature
Refuting this observation, Muller says religion is trust, and trust arises from the impression made on the minds and hearts of men by the order and wisdom of nature.
Originally a student of Sanskrit, Muller turned to comparative language studies and in 1845 he began studying Avesta, the Zoroastrian sacred scripture written in Old Iranian.
The third lecture focuses on the significance of Sanskrit literature.

Max Muller seems to be either unaware of, or unperturbed by the idea that he is perhaps replicating in his words a scenario that most students of Sanskrit will recognize from a well-known passage in Patanjali's Mahabhasya where the author describes a battle between the gods (suras) and the demons (asuras):
In Max Muller's formulation we find a modern variation on the same theme, where a knowledge of Sanskrit becomes important chiefly as a means of recognizing the membership of the Indo-European community, so that boundaries might be accurately drawn between the outsider and the insider.
Thus, for instance, J. Muir translates the phrase as "the primal germ of mind" (Hiriyanna 42) and both Macdonell and O'Flaherty say "the first seed of mind." See also Friedrich Geldner's translation: "Was des Denkens erster Same war" (360).

 Deconstructing 'Secular' Historians
The plan was to translate, edit and publish Indian classics—especially the Vedas—in such a manner that it would turn the educated people of India against their history and tradition and make them take pride in being ruled by the British.
It was hoped that with this, many would also give up Hinduism and opt for Christianity.
And if Christianity does not take its place, whose fault will it be?"

 INDOlink Book & Media Review : Vedic "Aryans" and the Origins of Civilization
In fact the authors do pay a worthy tribute to Max Muller for his many attainments and for his contributions to the discovery of India by Western scholars.
A welcome aspect of this work is its refutation of certain Marxist Indian historians who persist in their attachment to the superstitious theories bequeathed by the Indologists of Max Muller's generation.
The authors rightly point out that "not one significant contribution has been made by Indian historians belonging to the elite 'establishment'." At the same time they make it clear that they are not driven by the need to write an apology of Indian chauvinistic nationalism.

 Myths! By *Neverwhere* ©
The most famous proponent of myth as an example of the historical development of language is Friedrich Max Müller, a German scholar who spent most of his academic life in England, and whose major studies dealt with the religion and myths of India.
Müller believed that in the Vedic texts of ancient India the gods and their actions do not represent real beings or events; rather, they are products of a confusion of human language, of an attempt, through sensual and visual images, to give expression to natural phenomena (such as thunder or the sea).
In one approach, the meaning of myth is sought in the history and structure of the language itself.
