The Greeks.

the gita is a pretty good place to start.
easwaran for an easy translation, feuerstein for an academic edition (and you get to feel like a badass with the sanskrit en face)
don't try to go chronological and start with the rig veda or anything like that, enter with the gita and then read the upanishads.

Start with radhakrishnans indian philosophy, then his translations on upanishads and gita. Then go to shankaracharya and from there to kashmir shaivism and after that tantra.

Stay far away from anything iskcon, its muslim dvaita vedantic heresy for western hippies

Start with janito
