Part 8

“The book is very well written.”--San Francisco Chronicle, Dec., 1905.

“In forcefulness and clearness of style it is in every way equal to the other works by the Swâmi Abhedânanda, who has always shown himself in his writings a remarkable master of the English language.”--Mexican Herald, Dec., 1905.

“The volume is forcefully written, as are all of this author’s works, and cannot fail to be of great interest to all who have entered this field of thought. A fine portrait of the Swâmi forms the frontispiece.”--Toledo Blade, Nov., 1905.

“This attractive little volume comprises three lectures on the Vedânta Philosophy. The discourses will be found vitally helpful even by those who know little and care less about the spiritual and ethical teachings of which the Swâmi is an able and popular exponent. As the Vedânta itself is largely a doctrine of universals and ultimates, so also is this book of common utility and significance among all races of believers. Its precepts are susceptible of application by any rational thinker, regardless of religious predilection and inherited prejudices. The principles set forth by this teacher are an excellent corrective of spiritual bias or narrowness, and as such the present work is to be commended. It has already awakened an interest in Oriental literature that augurs well for the cause of human brotherhood, and it merits a wide circulation among all who cherish advanced ideals.”--Mind, April, 1902.

“This book has more than usual interest as coming from one who knows the Occident and both knows and loves the Orient.... It is decidedly interesting.... The book has two admirable qualities: breadth in scope and suggestiveness in material.”--Bulletin of the American Geographical Society, Sept., 1906.

“This volume, written in an attractive style and dealing with the life, philosophy and religion of India, should prove a useful addition to the literature of a fascinating and as yet largely unknown subject. It is designed for popular reading, the metaphysical portions being so handled that the reader runs little risk of getting beyond his depth.”--Literary Digest, Feb. 16, 1907.

“The Swâmi possesses the exceptional advantage of being able to look upon his own country almost from the standpoint of an outsider and to handle his subject free from both foreign and native prejudice.”--New York World, Aug. 4, 1906.

“It is a valuable contribution to Western knowledge of India, containing precisely what the American wants to know about that region.”--Washington Evening Star, Aug. 4, 1906.
