376 pages. Cloth, $1.50. Postage, 11 cents. Portrait of author, frontispiece.
Besides lectures on Râja Yoga the book contains Patanjali’s Yoga Aphorisms with Commentary, a copious Sanskrit Glossary, a lecture on Immortality, and the Swâmi’s lectures on BHAKTI YOGA.
“The whole spirit of the book is candid in the extreme. It appeals to what is best and noblest in man. It makes no foolish mysteries and demands no blind belief. It puts forth its system in a plain and simple manner. It is able to present its own method without in any way attacking the method of others. It manifests a charity that it is usual to call Christian but which Vivekânanda proves is equally the property of the Hindu. If this little book had nothing to teach but the beautiful toleration it advocates, it would be well worth reading; but many will find in it valuable suggestions to aid in reaching the higher life.”--Arena, Mar., 1897.
“A large part of the book is occupied with that method of attaining perfection known as Râja Yoga, and there are also translations of a number of aphorisms and an excellent glossary.”--Living Age, August 5th, 1899.
“A valuable portion of the volume to students is the glossary of Sanskrit technical terms. This includes not only such terms as are employed in the book, but also those frequently employed in works on the Vedânta philosophy in general.”--New York Times, July 22d, 1899.
“A new edition with enlarged glossary, which will be welcomed by students of comparative religion, who are already familiar with the author’s lectures in this country.”--Review of Reviews, Oct., 1899.
“The methods of practical realization of the divine within the human are applicable to all religions, and all peoples, and only vary in their details to suit the idiosyncrasy of race and individuals.”--Post, Washington, D. C., June 12th, 1899.

The Sayings of Sri Râmakrishna.
COMPILED BY
SWÂMI ABHEDÂNANDA
234 pages. Flexible cloth, gilt top, 75c. net. Postage, 4c.
Râmakrishna was a great Hindu saint of the nineteenth century who has already had an influence on the religious thought of America and England through the teachings of his disciples, Swâmi Vivekânanda, Swâmi Abhedânanda, and others. His Sayings are full of broad practical, non-sectarian instructions concerning the spiritual life which cannot but give help and inspiration to the followers of all creeds. The present volume contains a larger number of Sayings than has yet appeared in any one English collection. For the first time also they have been classified into chapters and arranged in logical sequence under marginal headings, such as “All creeds paths to God,” “Power of Mind and Thought,” “Meditation,” “Perseverance.” As an exposition of the universal truths of Religion and their application to the daily life this book takes its place among the great scriptures of the world.

“This little book gives an account of the character and career of the remarkable man known in India as Paramahamsa Srimat Râmakrishna, who is regarded by a great number of his countrymen as a divine incarnation. It is not more remarkable for the story it tells of a holy man than for the clear English in which it is told, and the expressions of elevated thought in its pages.”--Journal, Indianapolis, May 13th, 1901.
“The book, besides telling the life of Sri Râmakrishna, gives an insight into some of the religious ideas of the Hindus and sets forth the more important ideals that vitally influence India’s teeming millions. If we are willing to sympathetically study the religious views of our Aryan brethren of the Orient, we shall find them governed by spiritual concepts in no way inferior to the highest known to ourselves, concepts which were thought out and practically applied by these ancient philosophers in ages so remote as to antedate history.”--Post, Washington, May 13th, 1901.
