A classic - a cheap
This is the books so many people REALLY learned differential geometry from.The advantage of the index methods is that you can really see what is going on.If you are going to do GR and actually use DG for something other than pure math I think you will love this book.
BTW I think you can get it free on the internet arxiv but the print copy is very good quality.

Review of "Ricci Calculus"
"Ricci Calculus" is the defacto standard reference for tensor transformation theory.Schouten (pronounced "Scoutin") introduces fundamental geometric quantities based on the co-and contravariant transformation rules and then systematically builds up a manifold based on invariance of these quantities.The various geometric manifolds are constructed in a systematic way, starting from rectilinear coordinates and then by introduction of the "metric," connection, curvature tensors, and so forth.The book initially appears terse but once you get the hang of it and really stick with it, the power of the notation emerges and the notation also functions as an efficient book-keeping device when doing transformation theory calculations.Often, the meaning of certain calculations are even clarified when following Schouten's approach.Although specific applications are not really discussed in this work, the book is a must-have reference for those applying tensor transformation theory in general relativity, gauge fields, continuum theory, and complex manifolds. ...

Product Description
People in India form images of Jesus Christ that link up with their own culture. Hindus have given Jesus a place among the teachers and gods of their own religion, seeing in his life something of the wisdom and mysticism that is so central to Hinduism. Christians in India also make use of the concepts provided by Hinduism when they wish to express the meaning of Christ.Thus, in any case, Jesus is-for Hindus and Christians-a guru, a teacher of wisdom who speaks with divine authority. But for many Hindu philosophers and Christian theologians there is much more that can be said about him within theIndian framework. He can be described as an avatara, a divine descent, or linked to the Brahman, the all-encompassing Reality. This study looks at both Hindu and Christian views of Christ, starting with that of the Hindu reformer Rammohan Roy at the beginning of the nineteenth century, as well as those of the first Christian theologians of India. The views of Mahatma Gandhi and the monks of the Ramakrishna Mission are discussed, and those of influential Christian schools such as the Ashram movement and dalit theology.Five intermezzos indicate how artists in India portray Jesus Christ. ...
